Encoder Market Expected to Reach $5.1 Billion by 2031—Allied Market Research

Encoders are sensors of mechanical motion that interpret information and convert it into a code while possessing the capacity to convert that code back to its source. It helps to find the exact location of any object and the angle of placement for certain pieces of equipment to get the desired results. Encoders also offer accuracy in workflow, speed in operation, and proper process control. It supports the performance of high feeding tasks in manufacturing industries and the manufacture of machine tools that meet the demand for high productivity.

According to the encoder market forecast, as machines become technologically advanced, enterprises are using artificial intelligence in mobile robotics, unmanned aerial drones, virtual assistants, digital twin, speech and image recognition, and machine learning. Further, encoders are used to control and commutate the rotor’s displacement at any time by consuming less energy. As mobility is driving the need for battery-powered operations, energy-efficient encoders will gain importance in future mobile robotics. Thus, the usage of rotary encoders is enhancing mobile robotics with the use of capacitive technology. Moreover, they can also help makers of many different applications meet new efficiency regulations, thus making their application easy in mobile robotics.
