  • Description: Advances in manufacturing and micro-chip technology have led to surging interest in the field of 'smart sensors,' broadly referring to low-cost sensor chips with embedded micro-control units. Smart sensors can monitor a wide range of parameters, such as voltage, radiation, temperature, and humidity, and then process this information within the sensor itself, identifying threshold limits, processing data, and activating alarms. The potential for these devices currently exceeds their application by a wide margin, but advances are quickly closing the gap.
