Sensor innovations at the combined manufacturing‐related shows

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to review of the sensor technology at the combined manufacturing‐related shows which included quality, design and manufacturing, assembly, electronics, medical, and green manufacturing.

Design/methodology/approach

This paper provides in‐depth interviews with exhibitors of sensor products.

Findings

Sensor technology is advancing rapidly to keep up with manufacturing trends such as nanotechnology, automated testing, greater interest in 100 percent testing, and the need for better product quality.

Practical implications

Sensor users must try to keep up with the rapid advances being made by device suppliers.

Originality/value

All the new products are of recent introduction.
