Compared with consumer categories such as consumer electronics, industrial sensors for intelligent production have made more stringent requests for accuracy, stability, tamper resistance and impact resistance. "Industrial control must guarantee zero errors. The sensor can not only communicate in real time, but also meet the accuracy. The 'lost bag' like the civilian category is certainly not tolerated." Lin Yu showed that "the sensor is used in different industrial fields, The temperature, humidity, and pH that can be tolerated also have different personalized requests, and the power consumption and scale will be severely constrained. For example, the minimum 60 ° C pole environment is a great challenge."

Sensor manufacturers need to increase the localization rate, industrial sensors are not only demanding performance indicators, but also very cumbersome. According to Yang Chao, from the functional point of view, industrial sensors are divided into photoelectric, thermal, gas sensitive, force sensitive, magnetic sensitive, acoustic sensitive, humidity sensitive and so on. Taking industrial robots as an example, several main sensors touched include: three-dimensional vision sensors, force torque sensors, collision detection sensors, safety sensors, weld seam pursuit sensors, and tactile sensors.

Faced with the complex status quo, where should the localization of China's intelligent production sensors be cut? Yang Qifeng, assistant to the president of Xinsong Robot Central Research Institute, told reporters that they should not pursue large and complete, but should develop a class of sensors for the detailed use of demand. “For a force sensor that we need, the single quote is as high as 100,000 yuan.”

Yang Qifeng said, "The force sensor is a sensor used to detect the interaction between the force of the robot itself and the external environmental force. There are still many new sensors that are required for industrial robots. Now, although there is no large-scale use, it is now It has become an inevitable trend of industrial development. In the immature segment of the mall, Chinese companies have more time to plan ahead."

At the same time, smart production is defining a new industrial IoT category that uses MEMS skills. Lin Yu showed that the use of the MEMS industry promoted by the Industrial Internet of Things will bring endless new types of shopping malls. Bosch, STMicroelectronics, Lou's Electronics, Ying Meisheng and other world MEMS leading companies are now targeting this use.

"In fact, we can't just limit our eyes to the production of the sensor itself." Lin Yu suggested, "For hardware, the use of industrial sensors is the same. At the moment, the overall planning of the industrial ecology is more Operational."
