Technology Trends and
Challenges in Sensing
Closer proximity between sensors and measurandMiniaturization, contactless measurement principles
New measuring principlese.g. to capture spatially distributed measurement data
Increasingly autonomous systems and wireless communicationVarious micro generator principles, collective linked measuring points, etc.
Increasing system integration for mechatronic applicationsTransition to directly coupled sensor-actor-systems with local control of
rocess parameters
Increasingly holistic sensor design3D design tools, FEM calculation, Matlab/Simulink, more accurate
materials data
Increased functional integratione.g. pattern recognition , self-monitoring, disturbance recognition,
integrated communication interface
Highly integrated componentsReal time signal conditioning, high resolution and fast A/D converters,
DSSPs (Digital Sensor Signal Processor)
Physical, chemical and biological sensing coupled on single sensor
elementse.g. pressure and pH, Lab on a Chip
Increasing manufacture of sensor elements by specialized service
providers (foundries)Enhanced SME capability to produce complete sensors
