A key driver of efficiency within a factory is automation; more and more factories are starting to adopt a factory environment that is fully autonomous, known as “lights-out manufacturing.” Sensors are a key component of the intelligence required to achieve this level of automation.
TI has created an animated video that showcases six examples of ultrasonic sensing to kick-start the world of automation:
The six examples are:
Ultrasonic sensors are a reliable choice for proximity-, position- and level-sensing applications due to their ability to reliably detect clear surfaces such as water and glass and to operate in adverse environments such as smoke, fog or rain.
