Top 7 sensor technology companies in the global market

       Since the past few years, the use of sensor technology has impacted our lives and the way major companies and organizations operate; the advent of the Internet of Things (IoT) has also changed things, including better connectivity, automation, and analysis of workflows and business processes in industry. 　　

       Smart sensors are now bringing benefits to businesses in different ways. First, they bring more visibility to existing workflows and operations, identifying things and locating them, and determining their environmental conditions. For example, industrial IoT environments use the IoT's ability to track temperature and humidity, trigger alarms in warehouses or factories, and also record data for historical records and quality management. 　　

       From a medical perspective, we have entered an era of a "digital health revolution", a unique convergence of medicine and technology, and sensors are paving the way. Currently, several healthcare organizations are using passive sensors to accurately monitor each patient's vital signs, store data, and share it wirelessly with physicians. In addition, many sensor technologies are in the works to make it easier for health professionals and patients to diagnose cancer types, subcutaneous problems, and even kidney enlargement. 　　Because these applications will drive sensor technology, Straits Research has listed the top 7 manufacturers in the global sensor technology market to guide organizational leaders in harnessing the power of technology to better address business challenges, optimize workflow and improve efficiency.
