ITS USES.

• Industrial applications :- used for monitoring, process control,


and safety. Eg. Gas detector, Fire and Smoke detector Sensors
• Healthcare: Monitors patient health through wearable devices and
medical equipment like heart rate, glucose, and motion sensors.
• Automotive :- used in automotive vehicles for a variety of purposes,
including leakage detection, fire detection, and monitoring gas
emissions
• Automation: automation in industries like manufacturing, logistics,
and robotics, reducing manual effort and increasing productivity.
5

• Agriculture: Monitoring soil moisture and crop


health.Automating irrigation systems.
• Transportation: Assisting in self-driving cars (e.g., cameras,
radar, and LiDAR sensors).
• Environment Monitoring: Measuring air and water quality.

TYPES OF SENSORS.
7

PROXIMITY SENSOR
WORKING
Detecting changes in their environment without physical
contact with the object they sense.
It uses methods like light, sound, or electromagnetic
fields to sense the presence of an object within a certain
range.

ITS USES.
1.Smartphones (e.g., turning off the screen during
calls).
2. Smart Home Devices: Motion sensors activate
lights or alarms when someone enters a room.
3. Laptops/Tablets: Auto-sleep/wake functions based
on user presence.
8

TEMPERATURE SENSOR
WORKING.
Measures the heat or thermal energy of its surroundings and
converts it into a readable signal. This signal can be electrical
(voltage, resistance) or digital, depending on the sensor type.

ITS USES.
1.Temperature Control: Used to monitor and adjust heating,
ventilation, and air conditioning systems for optimal comfort and
energy efficiency.
2. Ovens and Refrigerators: Used to control cooking
temperatures or maintain optimal cooling conditions.
3. Thermometers: Digital and infrared thermometers measure
body temperature.
9

ULTRASONIC SENSOR
WORKING
Ultrasonic sensors are devices that use high-frequency
sound waves to detect the presence, distance, or
movement.

ITS USES.
1.Object Detection : Used in manufacturing and
automation to detect the presence or absence of items on
conveyor belts.
2. Home Automation : Applied in smart home systems
for occupancy detection, automatically turning lights on or
off based on presence.
3. Automatic Doors: Senses people approaching and
opens the door automatically.
10

LEVEL SENSOR
Working
A level sensor measures the level of a liquid or solid
within a container, tank, or silo. It detects the amount or
height of material and provides a signal or output to
indicate the level.

ITS USES
1.Water Tanks: Measures the water level for automatic
filling or emptying.
2. Storage Silos: Monitors grain, sand, or other bulk
materials.
11
BENEFITS OF SENSORS

1.Automation: Sensors enable automated processes,


enhancing speed, precision, and consistency while reducing
manual intervention.
2. Risk Detection: Sensors identify hazards (e.g., gas leaks,
fires, abnormal vibrations) and initiate alarms or safety actions.
3. Accident Prevention: Sensors in industries and vehicles
detect dangerous conditions (e.g., overheating, pressure
changes) and activate safety measures.
4. Smart Devices: Sensors make devices adaptive by adjusting
settings based on environmental or user changes (e.g., light,
temperature, motion).
12

CONCLUSION
• Sensor technology has transformed how we interact with the world by
enabling the collection of real-time data, automation, and improved efficiency
across various industries.

• Enhanced Accuracy: Sensors provide precise data, reducing human error


and improving decision-making.
• Safety & Quality: Sensors improve safety by detecting hazards early and
maintaining quality through continuous monitoring in manufacturing and
other sectors.
• Automation: Enables automation in industries, improving efficiency and
reducing manual labor.
