Challenges of the digital transformation: The role of sensors, sensor networks, IoT-devices, and 5G : Invited Paper

We describe the importance of sensors and sensing concepts for digitalization of large automation systems. Process industries have been adopted as a starting point. Two recent developments in temperature sensing are given as examples for sensor innovations with a potentially strong impact. Non-invasive and model-based sensing have been identified as trends. Advanced concepts for power supply and communication of sensors are discussed. An attempt is made to identify and interpret recent component developments, standards and systematic ideas, which may be relevant for large sensor systems in many areas.
