Description

Thanks to the development of micro-electronics, sensors can be found everywhere in industry from food engineering to fashion computer design. These sensors can be operating at the complex nature-animal interface, process gigantic volumes of information in real time.
According to MarketandMarket, the Industrial Sensors market will grow from USD 18.2 billion in 2020 to USD 29.0 billion by 2025, with a CAGR of 9.8%. Growing popularity of industrial 4.0 and IoT and increasing demand of industrial robotics are the key factors driving the growth of the market. The development of advanced sensors with multifunction operations are the major goal nowadays.
At this session it will be exposed the state of the art at IFIMUP regarding the use of several types of sensors that are being designed and developed by microfabrication techniques or by printing techniques.
The fabricated sensors presented have multiple applications such as thermal, optical, pressure, humidity or even biological applications.
