Sensors

Sensors are devices used to measure and monitor various environmental and physical parameters, converting real-world data into electrical signals for processing and analysis. They are crucial in applications ranging from industrial automation to environmental monitoring.

Different types of sensors are tailored to specific functions. Ultrasonic distance sensors use sound waves to measure the distance to an object, ideal for applications like liquid level detection and proximity sensing. Temperature sensors, such as thermocouples and RTDs, provide accurate readings for industrial processes or climate control systems. Submersible water level sensors measure liquid levels in tanks, wells, or rivers, even in harsh underwater environments.

Air quality and gas detection sensors monitor pollutants and hazardous gases, ensuring safety in industrial settings and enhancing indoor air quality management. Many modern sensors connect via LoRaWAN, offering long-range, low-power wireless communication suitable for remote and dispersed monitoring applications.

High-quality sensors are characterised by their accuracy, durability, and ability to operate reliably under varied environmental conditions. Selecting the right sensor depends on the specific application requirements, including measurement range, environmental factors, and connectivity needs.
