Smart manufacturing leverages big data analytics to optimize complex production processes and enhance supply chain management. [7] Big data analytics refers to a method for gathering and understanding large data sets in terms of what are known as the three V's, velocity, variety and volume.
The introduction of smart sensors in the insurance industry is disrupting the traditional practice in multiple ways. Smart sensors generate a large amount of (big) data and affects the business models of insurance companies as follows. Smart sensors in client’s homes or in wearables help insurance companies to get much more detailed ...
The industrial internet of things (IIoT) refers to interconnected sensors, instruments, and other devices networked together with computers' industrial applications, including manufacturing and energy management. This connectivity allows for data collection, exchange, and analysis, potentially facilitating improvements in productivity and ...
Smart manufacturing Virtual computing environments enable smart devices to access pertinent services anywhere and anytime. [4] Physical environments may be embedded with various smart devices of different types including tags, sensors, and controllers, and have different form factors ranging from nano- to micro- to macro-sized.
The imaging device (e.g. camera) can either be separate from the main image processing unit or combined with it in which case the combination is generally called a smart camera or smart sensor. [15] [16] Inclusion of the full processing function into the same enclosure as the camera is often referred to as embedded processing. [17]
An intelligent sensor is a sensor that takes some predefined action when it senses the appropriate input (light, heat, sound, motion, touch, etc.). Description [ edit ]
Examples of sensors include smoke detectors, motion sensors, and contact sensors. Examples of actuators include smart locks, smart power outlets, and door controls. Popular control platforms on which third-party developers can build smart apps that interact wirelessly with these sensors and actuators include Samsung's SmartThings, [ 290 ] Apple ...
Smart Materials and Structures is a monthly peer-reviewed scientific journal covering technical advances in smart materials, systems and structures; including intelligent systems, sensing and actuation, adaptive structures, and active control.
