Sensors in Internet of Things
Today I was searching the internet for a force gage or sensor to measure the amount of force for a certain application. After a few minutes of searching I came across thousands of options on the web. As an engineer looking for a solution, I don’t have time to waste so it’s very difficult to find something. This is when I thought, we all now use our IPhone or Android phones for everything. Somebody has to have a wireless or Bluetooth connected force gage sensor that can easily adapt to a surface either with a screw or adhesive. The software to get you the real time data can be captured on your phone and then saved. Even better what if the IOT device could be connected to the cloud and provide you the data you need. I am sure someone is trying to develop this type of internet of things device. How would you design such a device? The major sensor, the force gage is already available, it’s the wireless system with built in software that requires development. This is just one idea for an IOT or an IIOT, which is Industrial Internet of Things connected product. Stay tuned to my website for more interesting IOT ideas.
