(Summary description) The sensor is a detection device with a wide range of applications, such as industrial automation, agricultural modernization, aerospace technology, military engineering, robotics, environmental monitoring, security, medical diagnosis, transportation, household appliances, etc. It can feel the measured Information, and can transform the sensed information into electrical signals or other required forms of information output according to certain rules to meet the requirements of information transmission, processing, storage, display, recording, and control.
With the requirements of miniaturization, digitization, intelligence, multi-function, systemization, and networking, sensors are also developing in the direction of small, fast, and flexible. I love solution network predicts that sensors will be large in the following three areas in the future Shine.
According to the big data of Kuaibao, a leading domestic intelligent product development outsourcing service platform, sensor tasks accounted for 8% of the development demand of Kuaibao in the first half of 2016. Among them, it is based on the application development needs of wearable, intelligent medical, and industrial control. It accounts for 80% of the entire sensor development, and the demand for sensors in the three major fields will be great in the future.
1. Wearable application field
According to the prediction of the American ABI Research Company, the number of wearable sensors will reach 160 million in 2017. Wearable devices represented by Google Glass are the most concerned hardware innovations. There are more than 10 kinds of sensors built in Google Glass, including gyroscope sensors, acceleration sensors, magnetic sensors, linear acceleration sensors, etc., which realize some functions that cannot be realized by traditional terminals. For example, the user can take a picture with a blink of an eye. . At present, the application fields of wearable devices are expanding from external watches, glasses, shoes, etc. to broader fields, such as electronic skin. Recently, the University of Tokyo has developed a flexible wearable sensor that can be attached to the skin. The sensor is in the form of a film, with a unit area weight of only 3g/m2, which is about 1/27 of that of ordinary paper, and a thickness of only 2 microns.
2. Smart medical application field
Numerous medical research institutions at home and abroad, including internationally renowned medical industry giants, have made important progress in the application of sensor technology in the medical field. For example, ROHM is currently developing an image sensor that uses near-infrared light (NIR). The principle is to use a dedicated imaging element to capture the reflected light after irradiating a near-infrared light LED, and to obtain an image by changing the wavelength of the near-infrared light. Image processing makes blood vessels etc. appear more vividly. Some research institutions have made progress in making sensors with materials that can be embedded or swallowed in the body. For example, Georgia Institute of Technology in the United States is developing in-body sensors with pressure sensors and wireless communication circuits. The device is composed of conductive metal and insulating film. It can detect changes in pressure based on changes in the frequency of the resonant circuit. Will dissolve in body fluids.
2. Industrial control application field
In 2012, GE proposed in the "Industrial Internet: Breaking the Boundary Between Wisdom and Machine" report that connecting humans and machines through smart sensors, combined with software and big data analysis, can break through the limitations of physics and material science and will change the world Mode of operation. The report also pointed out that through the deployment of the Industrial Internet in the United States, various industries can achieve a 1% increase in efficiency, and the energy industry will save 1% of fuel (about 66 billion US dollars) within 15 years. In January 2013, GE installed more than 10,000 sensors in a battery manufacturing company in New York to monitor data such as temperature, energy consumption, and air pressure during production. The factory managers can obtain these data through iPads, and then Production is supervised. The ultrasonic weather station integrates 7 sensors to provide first-class weather monitoring information for industrial production and provide reliable information for the prevention of some disasters, thereby improving efficiency and reducing overall costs.
