Learn how smart sensors enable predictive maintenance, AI-powered manufacturing, and revolutionary ADAR technology that's changing industrial automation and robot safety economics with insights from Endress+Hauser, Rockwell Automation, specialty chemicals company Premix Group, and Sonair.
Smart sensors now perform on-device AI processing and self-diagnostics, delivering 5-10% productivity gains through continuous monitoring and predictive maintenance capabilities at the sensor level.
Premix Group's North Carolina facility uses real-time sensor data to feed its PERTTI AI platform, reducing formulation development cycles from months to days using 20,000+ recipes in their database.
ADAR (Acoustic Detection and Ranging) provides 3D ultrasound sensing for robots at $1,000 per unit — 75% cheaper than LiDAR while detecting transparent surfaces and obstacles above/below traditional sensor planes.
