The Rapid Development Of The Industrial Internet Drives Sensors

In a recent interview, Minister of Industry and Information Technology Miao Wei revealed that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is studying the formulation of smart manufacturing development strategies and the preparation of special plans for smart manufacturing; promoting the intelligent transformation and upgrading of traditional equipment, formulating a roadmap for the intelligent transformation of traditional equipment by industry, and organizing key industry intelligence Pilot workshops and smart factories, cultivate a batch of sample enterprises and organize and promote industry application demonstrations. At the same time, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will promote the development of the Industrial Internet, study and formulate industrial Internet network architecture plans, and carry out industrial Internet pilot demonstrations.

Some media believe that the Industrial Internet is the result of the integration of global industrial systems with advanced computing, analysis, sensing technology, and Internet connections. It reconnects intelligent machines and eventually connects humans and machines, and combines software and big data analysis to restructure the global industry, stimulate productivity, and make the world a better, faster, safer, cleaner and more economical place. The Industrial Internet must be based on the Internet of Things and industrial data analysis. Unlike traditional Internet companies such as Google and Amazon, which can collect data through PCs and mobile terminals, industrial data needs to come from sensors installed on the machine. Data is transmitted to the cloud in real time for storage, analysis and decision making.
Compared with ordinary sensors, industrial-grade sensors need more robust stability and higher sensitivity, because many industrial-grade sensors need to operate in harsher environments, such as the production workshop, the industrial noise will be much larger than the ordinary environment, such as Monitoring of electricity and railways requires monitoring under harsh natural conditions. The industrial Internet requires real-time data collection, storage, and analysis. Therefore, MEMS sensors are small in size, light in weight, low in cost, low in power consumption, high in reliability, suitable for mass production, easy to integrate, and intelligent. Just fits the requirements of the Industrial Internet for sensors.
