Common Smart Sensors
Key Takeaways
Smart
Sensors
• Sensors have traditionally been
functionally simple devices that
convert physical variables into
electrical signals or changes in
electrical properties.

• Sensors have needed to evolve


into smart sensors perform a
technically and economically
viable role within the IoT
environment.
Smart Sensors
• Required functionality of a smart sensor

• Low cost, so they can be economically deployed in large numbers


• Physically small, to “disappear” unobtrusively into any environment
• Wireless, as a wired connection is typically not possible
• Self-identification and self-validation
• Very low power, so it can survive for years without a battery change, or manage with energy
harvesting
• Robust, to minimize or eliminate maintenance
• Self-diagnostic and self-healing
• Self-calibrating, or accepts calibration commands via wireless link
• Data pre-processing, to reduce load on gateways, PLCs, and cloud resources
