Research Review Scope
Instrumentation and Sensors are essential elements for most technology products being built today. Their application areas cover products from simple switches and temperature-sensing devices as part of the most basic of home appliances to sophisticated manufacturing equipment and factory automation systems. Micro-technology has revolutionized the electronics industry, and miniaturization has become a standard part of any system. Industrial requirements have increased, indicating room for growth in sensor usage.
The need for instrumentation and sensors is increasing in various applications. Therefore, it is imperative to produce high-quality sensors, and as manufacturer rivalry grows, sensor prices are decreasing faster than before. The sensors employed in automation will also be determined by how well physical characteristics are collected as data. Therefore, even though the cost aspect grows significantly, the dependability aspect would be given priority when it comes to sensors. Furthermore, an accurate dataset produced by the sensors will be necessary to develop AI technologies. Future sensors will be more intelligent and precise owing to the training of AI models on this data for categorization and regression issues.
