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.
