EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Safety Sensors is a general term attributed to the sensors used for detection of distance, absence or presence of any object in a restricted zone during physical operations. The Safety Sensors are also denoted as Photo Electric/Opto-Electronic Sensors as they are based on the photoelectric principle of using electromagnetic waves viz, electric, magnetic and light. The safety sensors are present either in the form of sensors, switches or buttons. Safety Sensors normally works on three functional principles: opposed (through beam), retro-reflective or proximity detection. The wave emitted from emitting unit either gets interfered as in case of through beam principle or gets back reflected after striking the obstacle in retro-reflective or change in intensity according to proximity detection. The emitted wave after interacting with obstacle is detected by receiving unit which is further processed by a control unit to control actuators. Similarly safety switches either come in contact with the object or there is change in wave intensity emitted from switch while interfering with the object. Apart from this there are various commanding devices like pull switches or push buttons to stop the operation in case of emergency. The above mentioned sensors are common in production and processing industries like automobile, chemical processing, food & beverage processing, machine & tools, mining, nuclear, oil & gas, material handling, packaging, semiconductors etc. The global safety sensors and switches market revenue is estimated to increase from around $6.38bn in 2013 to around $7.85bn in 2018, growing at around 4.2% year over year.

our daily life i.e. automobile. Considering the fact that most of the mishaps on roads tend to occur due to driver’s fault, automobile manufacturers are equipping the systems with safety systems to avoid any collision or direct crash by incorporating light or radio wave based sensors. The safety devices installed inside automobiles use photoelectric sensors for distance measurement, lighting control, speed control and collision avoidance. Aside from using Laser, Infrared and Visible Light, safety devices make use of RADARS also for ranging nearby objects.

KEY MARKET INSIGHTS Due to increased safety regulations both in the fields of industrial operations and mobility systems, safety sensors will play an important role in the future. Both manufacturers and operators are looking forward to incorporate them in all physical processes. The most significant use of safety sensors is involved in assembly, manufacturing,

production and processing lines.

With developing nations like Brazil, China and India making efforts to become global leaders, more and more manufacturing units are being established that will surge the market for safety sensors.

Instead of transmitting data over cables, safety sensors are now being developed with wireless technology to be more cost and energy efficient.

In order to make the self-driving cars a reality, systems based on safety sensors are continuously improved to avoid any obstacle or head-on-collision using radar waves.

Wireless Technology is penetrating the photo electronic sensor industry due to following benefits: low power operation, deterministic data transfer and ability to communicate over long ranges inside the plant.

Ford Motors recently enlisted MIT and Stanford Universities to develop better vision systems for autonomous cars.

A joint European project called DELICAT (Demonstration of LIDAR based CAT Detection) is testing laser based measuring systems on flight to make it safer amidst CAT (Clear-Air Turbulence).

Ifm Efector, inc. released a color based photoelectric sensor for packaging industry.

Pilz Gmbh & Co. KG established own subsidiary in Czech Republic in order to meet demand from Eastern Europe.

Safety Controllers able to control multi components like sensors, switches, pushbuttons and interlocks are the recent advancement in Safety Sensors market. Example includes Flexi Loop by SICK, Inc. to integrate all the operation of components via single cable to reduce wiring efforts and costs.

Switzerland based researchers are evaluating the use of molybdenite as an image sensor

material that can allow vision systems to image any object in near darkness.

According to Intelligent Transportation Society of America, with the reduction in costs of electronic braking and other control systems over the next decade, all newly manufactured cars will be built with radars to support automated crash avoidance particularly in forward direction.
