Magnetic Sensors in a Smart World

Monitoring anything in real time using remote signals is a growing trend for magnetic sensors. They detect and monitor key variables in a broad range of applications. Sensing applications include security, industrial processes, transportation equipment, commercial, industrial and residential buildings.

Smart Home Metering with Industry 4.0

Smart meters and systems are used to measure actual energy consumption and use-time. Low power and tamper proof reed sensors are used in various home meters. The output signal produced with each actuation is sent to a wireless device that records the rotation speed and produces an output reading.

Smart World Reed Switch & Power Magnetics

Homes are getting smarter, and this means the components that allow the processes within products need to be smarter as well. In today’s world, homes are being stocked full of items that are automated, innovative and controlled remotely.

Smart Wireless Sensing in Home Security

With the advent of “smart” technology, integrating wireless/connected functionality and control into products that serve purposes in homes, cars, appliances and more has grown tremendously. Companies and the market continue to grow their interest related to smart technology features and products that are connected.

Chris Riccardella Green Energy Interview

As the demand for clean energy increases, the market is shifting towards electrification of all types. This means that the grid is increasingly looking for ways to incorporate solar and wind power efficiently, which ultimately requires both storage and bidirectional energy flow.

Reed Sensors

Reed sensors use the reed switch as the heart of their switching mechanism. When paired with a permanent magnet, they are an ideal method of sensing and detecting metal, movement, proximity and liquid level and flow. Reed sensors come in hundreds of different sizes and shapes and meet a multitude of application requirements.
