Applications & Selection

Sensor Applications & Selection Considerations

01 · Industrial Condition Monitoring

Relevant Devices: MEMS Accelerometers · Temperature Sensors

Vibration and temperature trends on motors, pumps, and compressors help monitor equipment condition. Match accelerometer bandwidth and noise density to the fault frequencies, range to expected vibration levels, and mounting and sampling to the measurement task.

02 · Collaborative Robotics & Visual Inspection

Relevant Devices: Image Sensors · ToF Sensors · IMUs

Image sensors locate and inspect parts, ToF devices measure distance, and IMUs provide motion feedback. Check working distance, field of view, ambient light, and motion speed, then align the timing of data from the different sensors.

03 · EV Drives & Battery Systems

Relevant Devices: Magnetic Position Sensors · Current Sensors · Temperature Sensors

Drive systems use rotor-position and current feedback; battery systems also monitor current and temperature. Check magnetic interference, measurement range, error across temperature, and the automotive qualification required by the project.

04 · Wearables & Smart Devices

Relevant Devices: IMUs · Pressure Sensors · Magnetic Sensors

Inertial data supports activity detection, pressure changes can help estimate elevation, and magnetic sensing supports heading. Match sampling and low-power modes to the device size, battery capacity, and continuous-operation power budget.

05 · Building Climate & HVAC

Relevant Devices: Temperature & Humidity Sensors · Ambient Light Sensors

Indoor temperature and humidity measurements inform ventilation and climate control; ambient light can inform lighting control. Evaluate installed accuracy, response time, and long-term drift, including any effect of sensor self-heating.

06 · Respiratory Support Equipment

Relevant Devices: Pressure Sensors · Humidity Sensors

CPAP and other respiratory support equipment monitor air-path pressure. Models with humidification may also require humidity sensing and control. Match the pressure range and response time to the system, then assess moisture or condensation exposure and system-level calibration.
