Mapping the path to a successful device design

Whether or not it's a conscious choice, many designers group sensing technologies into one of two categories:

• Sensors used instrumentation tools in the development of a product or device
• Sensors used as embedded components that enable a feature

As a result, some designers may fall victim to a silo mentality when it comes to evaluating certain sensor types. It takes engineering ingenuity to break down those silos and realize that a single technology can function freely between these usage categories.

For example, thin, piezoeresistive sensors for force and pressure – the sensing technology we manufacture here at Tekscan – offers endless opportunities for design engineers across all industries. In fact, for some companies, using the technology in the instrumentation of their design has laid the framework for a plan to integrate the sensor into their final design.
