Advantages Of Smart Sensors

Smart sensors are sensors with information processing functions. The smart sensor has a microprocessor and has the ability to collect, process, and exchange information. It is the product of the integration of the sensor and the microprocessor. Compared with general sensors, smart sensors have the following three advantages: high-precision information collection can be achieved through software technology, and low cost; it has certain programming automation capabilities; and its functions are diversified.

A good ‘smart sensor’ is a set of sensors and meters driven by a microprocessor, and has functions such as communication and on-board diagnostics.

Smart sensors can store various physical quantities detected and process these data in accordance with instructions to create new data. Intelligent sensors can exchange information, decide which data should be transmitted, discard abnormal data, and complete analysis and statistical calculations.
