Factory automation is a major application area of proximity and displacement sensors. The proximity sensor is a crucial part of the automation systems, which is used for object detection and signaling the processor to initiate the specific process assigned to it. Manufacturers are looking for factory automation solutions as an optimum alternative, specifically in the areas where the manufacturing process requires repeatability and quality standards are stringent, thus driving the proximity and displacement sensors market analysis.
The proximity and displacement sensors market seeks factory and process automation as the prime area of application in terms of revenue. Automation involves the installation of robotic structures embedded with intelligent sensing technology, which operate with or without a negligible amount of human supervision. However, the implementation of a fully integrated automation system attracts a huge amount of initial investment, which subsequently dilutes the interest of medium- and small-sized manufacturers. However, the high cost associated with establishing an automation system is expected to provide benefits, such as concurrent task allocation feasibility and enhanced productivity, which can rapidly cover the initial investment cost. Thereby, boosting the proximity and displacement sensors market opportunity.
Smart home is defined as a habitation furnished with technology that observes conditions of a residence and provides proactive services. The smart home concept emerged to offer two major facilities, such as safety and security, assisted living for residents, and luxury amenities. Proximity and displacement sensors are expected to find numerous opportunities in the future, such as in home safety & security and assisted living applications, including smoke detection, automated lighting, and air conditioning.
