Manufacturers are tapping into the benefits more capable sensors and instrumentation can deliver, in order to improve plant efficiency, product quality and safety. Jesse Bonfeld reports.

Customised to withstand extreme changes of temperature under hard vacuum, precision servo inclinometers maintain precision and reliability throughout a three-month life test qualification, helping RUAG Space to complete a programme of tests on its innovative satellite thruster orientation mechanism.

MEMS technologies are the rising star of the sensors market. However, there are a number of misconceptions surrounding their capabilities, and conventional sensors continue to meet a much wider range of applications. Jesse Bonfeld traces the evolution of MEMS fabrication, describing the devices and their impact on the sensors market.
