First of all, industrial manufacturing. We know that in the original production process of human beings, relying on the perception and recognition of the surrounding environment by the human five senses can basically meet the production requirements, but in the industrial revolution, facing various harsh environments or high temperature, high pressure, and toxic environments, it is far from being able to fulfil requirements. Therefore, various sensor applications serving modern industries are playing an important role. For example, corresponding to the five sense functions of natural persons, the same high-precision sensor has been successfully developed. The vision sensor has the ability to capture millions of pixels of light from an entire image and can communicate at a higher rate. Similarly, the fine observation of sound, vibration, etc. by industrial sensors has already been developed towards higher precision, providing more prerequisites for people to obtain information and discover problems in time in the industrial manufacturing process.
Secondly is the security field. Sensors are widely used in this field, especially for real-time safety monitoring. For example, installing a new type of sensor under the seat cushion of a long-distance bus driver can observe the driver’s driving situation in time. Through real-time data such as heart rate changes and body surface pulse, it can help determine whether the driver is in a fatigued driving state, and send an alarm through the sensor system. Combined with the satellite positioning system, it can help the driver himself and the traffic management department to detect and deal with such situations in a timely manner, so as to avoid accidents. For the elderly, children, and disabled and ill people, some abnormal conditions can also be detected in time through sensors, and they can be alerted to their family members in time. Through the satellite positioning system, it can be rescued quickly.
The third is the medical and health field. At the forefront of international medical innovation, brand-new micro-medical sensors have emerged, which can enter the human body through tools such as needles to obtain the most authentic data of human body information. With the help of this sensor, doctors can most intuitively observe the actual condition of the patient, including basic information such as diseased tissues, tumor cells, blood proteins, etc., and provide real-time information about the effects of drugs on the human body during the treatment process to help Supervise the treatment, and can simultaneously record the most subtle reactions and changes of the disease during the treatment process, so that the medical case summary and medical practice become more intuitive and clear.
The last is wearable sports equipment. This type of sensor can not only help people correct exercise postures, record exercise results, but also fully capture information during exercise, and analyze the physical reactions of different groups of people in different exercises, so as to facilitate the summary of the law. This type of sensor equipment that has formed the market is currently mainly concentrated in three major areas, namely motion sensors, including accelerometers, gyroscopes, magnetometers, pressure sensors, etc.; biological sensors, including blood glucose sensors, blood pressure sensors, and ECG sensors, etc. ; Environmental sensors, including temperature and humidity sensors, gas sensors, PH sensors, etc. These sensors are widely used in products such as smart watches and wristbands.
As a tool for humans to perceive the world, sensors are progressing with the growth of technology. The four major areas mentioned above are actually only the areas where sensors will be more advanced in the future industrial development, and more use of space is waiting to be explored and developed. In the face of fierce international competition, Chinese sensor companies need to face the challenge, strengthen independent research and development of new sensors, accelerate the transformation and industrialization of existing scientific research results, increase the global market share of domestic brands, and promote the industry to enter a new era of development.
