Maximise your IIoT installation success by choosing the right sensors

Where sensors were initially deployed to monitor the state of produced goods, predictive maintenance is a key contemporary driver for new sensing technology for industrial requirements. In this scenario, sensors keep check on machine health, alerting facility managers to pending failures and prompting pre-emptive maintenance or parts changes, with minimal impact to operations.

In this week's Engineers' Insight we take a look at some of the key trends in sensing technology that are enabling widespread adoption of the Industrial IoT.
