The foundation of IoT solutions is data collection and thus also often the need for sensors to registrate physical phenomena and convert them into data.
In the communication platform “Roger”, Develco has built-in sensors for measuring temperature, magnetic field, air pressure, gyro and acceleration.
The purpose of a sensor is to record events and changes in the environment and to pass these data to a readable display or further electronic processing. Thus, a sensor is a measurement unit that translates a physical phenomenon, such as pressure or temperature, to a different physical size, usually an electrical current or voltage. In a further developed form also in the form of radio signals.
There are sensors for measuring temperature, pressure, weight, light, sound, motion, radio waves, magnetic fields, pH, gas concentrations, chemical mixtures and much more.
The technological complexity ranges from a traditional barometer with analog presentation of output signals to microsensors integrated into microelectromechanical systems (MEMS).
Develco has been working on sensors for many years. Among other things it has been e.g. automated visual quality control, so-called vision systems with continuous monitoring of production with photoelectric sensors. For Develco Products, Develco has developed a complete pir sensor for motion monitoring in the Smart Home context. Roger, the platform for an intelligent wearable, is equipped with many different sensors, including MEMS. Since Roger is equipped with both a gyroscope and acceleration sensor, there is a basis for recording highly valid motion data. In the solution of an intelligent wood burning stove from Aduro, Develco developed sensors that were functional in a very large temperature range.
Generally, Develco has a proven ability to recommend and develop solutions that are precise and robust under specific environmental impacts. Also the great knowledge of wireless technologies helps to ensure optimum choice of sensors or further development of existing items on the market.
