Sensors can already be found everywhere and will make our lives even more pleasant in the future. Take sensors in lamps: dimming lamps is made possible by just touching them. Machines also get sensors: they indicate when a machine needs servicing or a component has to be replaced. In industrial era 4.0 robots will carry out this maintenance. Still, that will not be the end of it. Sensors will be implanted into human bodies, providing them with impulses or medication. Finally, sports are another important field for sensors: they make far more accurate measurements than the human eye.
Due to the fast developments in the field of micro machines and the smart use of micro controller platforms, sensors can be applied in all sorts of fields. Old school industry with its traditional sensors, such as temperature gauges, pressure gauges and ammeters, will switch to the new versions of sensors. Aviation, aerospace, the automotive industry, the world of medicine and robotics will all trade in their traditional sensors for new ones. We will benefit from these in our daily lives.
These developments create a challenging environment for the electronic connections industry. Anticipating developments ensures that you will be able to keep your competitive edge and expand your market. PIEK can support you in doing so, by partnering up as a trainer for your employees. Please take a look at the current range scheduled of courses.
