Industrial sensors are currently widely used in many industries now, especially when we are moving into a new age of advanced automation in most factories worldwide. When there is automation, there will always be some form of sensors needed. In layman terms, industrial automation sensors are input devices which provide an output (signal) with respect to a specific physical quantity (input).

Depending on the type of sensors, the output for each will be different. For example, we have:

• Temperature sensors
• Torque sensors
• Vision sensors
• Pressure sensors
• Motion sensors
• Vibration sensors
• Level sensors
• Proximity sensors
• Others
