Adaptable Sensors Enable A Data-Driven Future

Small, portable, adaptable optical sensors offer robust performance for intelligent solutions in a wide variety of connected applications and performance environments. Their inherent flexibility and integration capabilities give designers a programmable option that allows manufacturers to take advantage of volume cost savings and the ability to get their systems to market quickly.

In a data-driven world, connected devices have created profound impact. Smartphones are essentially a vast, globally distributed network of connected cameras, while the more recent introduction of Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystems is creating other widely distributed networks of highly instrumented devices. We don’t yet know the full impact of these emergent networks. We do know, however, that most of their utility relies upon deploying one or more sensors to detect a change in diverse environments of the real world—such as a heart rate, system temperature, or moisture measurement in a crop field—and turn it into an electrical signal that can be measured. This challenge requires sensors that are highly integrated, small, robust, stable over the long term, and draw little power if they are to meet the needs of IoT devices and service the trend toward increased portability. They also need to be adaptable as it’s likely that the measurement capabilities demanded of devices in the field will evolve while they are in use.

适应性传感器实现数据驱动的未来

小巧，便携，适应性强的光学传感器可为各种连接应用和性能环境中的智能解决方案提供强大的性能。其固有的灵活性和集成功能为设计人员提供了一个可编程选项，使制造商能够充分利用成本节约和快速将系统推向市场的能力。

在数据驱动的世界中，连接设备产生了深远的影响。智能手机本质上是一个庞大的、全球分布的连接相机网络，而最近推出的物联网（IoT）生态系统正在创建其他广泛分布的高度仪器化设备网络。我们还不知道这些新兴网络的全部影响。然而，我们确实知道，他们的大部分效用都依赖于部署一个或多个传感器来检测现实世界各种环境的变化 - 例如心率，系统温度或作物田间的水分测量 - 然后转动它成为可以测量的电信号。这一挑战要求传感器高度集成，体积小，坚固耐用，长期稳定，并且如果要满足物联网设备的需求并为提高便携性提供服务，则耗电量很小。它们还需要具有适应性，因为现场设备所需的测量能力可能会在使用时发生变化。

Temperature Sensor Market Heating Up

According to a report issued by research firm Research Report Insights, the global temperature sensors market is anticipated to rise at a CAGR of 6% and command $7.5 billion from 2016 to 2023. Escalating demand for temperature sensors in the automotive, home and building automation systems, portable healthcare equipment, and industrial robotics markets are thought to be driving market growth. However, a decline in the personal-computer market will hamper the temperature sensors market.

温度传感器市场升温

研究公司Research Report Insights发布的一份报告显示，全球温度传感器市场的复合年增长率预计将达到6％，从2016年到2023年将达到75亿美元。汽车，家庭和楼宇自动化系统对温度传感器的需求不断增加，便携式医疗保健设备和工业机器人市场被认为正在推动温度传感器市场增长。然而，个人电脑市场的下滑将阻碍温度传感器市场的发展。

VOC Sensors Market Subtle, Yet Solid

According to MarketsandMarkets’ report “VOC Sensors and Monitors Market by Device Type (Sensors and Monitors), Application (Industrial Process Monitoring, Environmental Monitoring, Air Purification & Monitoring, and Leak Detection), and Geography - Global Forecast to 2023”, the volatile organic compound (VOC) sensors and monitors market is expected to expand from $140 million in 2018 to $176 million by 2023, at a CAGR of 4.6%. This moderate, yet consistent rise is attributed to the increasing enforcement of occupational health and safety regulations by governments.

VOC传感器市场微妙而稳固

根据MarketsandMarkets的报告“VOC传感器和显示器市场按设备类型（传感器和监视器），应用（工业过程监控，环境监测，空气净化和监测，以及泄漏检测）和地理——全球预测到2023年”，有机化合物（VOC）传感器和监视器市场预计将从2018年的1.4亿美元扩大到2023年的1.76亿美元，复合年增长率为4.6％。这种温和而持续的增长归因于各国政府越来越多地执行职业健康和安全法规。

Torque-Control ICs Take Up Little Space
