Sensors are a key component in industrial automation and play an important role improving productivity by inspecting, detecting and gathering information on processes and manufacturing operations that would otherwise have to be done manually. In industrial facilities, sensors can be used to measure, detect changes, and regulate processes and conditions like temperature, fluid levels, flow, displacement, position, dimensions and appearance. Vision, temperature, measurement sensors eliminate the need to manual inspect and monitor processes which improves productivity and accuracy. There are a wide range of sensors designed for a  multitude of applications and for industrial environments where extreme temperatures, electromagnetic interference, noise and vibration exists. They also contribute to predicting and preventing future events.
