element14 Releases New Free Whitepaper
Sensors are bringing the IoT to life; with novel chemical and spectroscopic technologies, senses enable IoT systems to see, hear and even smell the world around them.
element14 has recently published a brand new, exclusive and free-to-download whitepaper to support electronic design engineers in their Internet of Things (IoT) journey.
The paper, titled ‘Smart Sensors – Enabling the Intelligent IoT’, takes a deep dive into the world of sensor technology and how cutting-edge trends are taking the IoT to the next level.
Cliff Ortmeyer, Global Head of Technical Marketing at element14, said: “Engineers working on systems built using IoT technologies now have access to a huge range of sensor options. The available modalities have moved well beyond temperature and pressure to encompass sensors that can act as the eyes, ears and noses of the IoT. Understanding the world of sensor technology is becoming mission-critical for many electronic design engineers working on IoT-driven systems and applications.
“element14 strives to support engineers at every stage in their journey and this includes free content such as this whitepaper, enabling them to overcome their obstacles and understand the latest trends and technologies in the market.”
Ortmeyer added: “Electronics engineers are faced with many decisions, not just as sensing technology evolves but as the connectivity choices expand. The ability to detect changes around a system is greatly enhanced by the ability to hook into data from multiple sources on a network that covers the surrounding environment. Understanding how the sensors can interact with each other and their data processing and security capabilities will lead to smarter choices in designing with these products and integrating them with other devices.”
Sensors are bringing the IoT to life; with novel chemical and spectroscopic technologies, senses enable IoT systems to see, hear and even smell the world around them.
Sensors already provide real-time raw data to a growing range of applications that use it to produce insights. A significant recent change is the introduction of smarter sensors – devices that incorporate value-added functions to ease integration into IoT networks and provide valuable information more readily.
The whitepaper describes the choices available to engineers and the various considerations to take into account when selecting and integrating sensors into IoT designs.
