An integrated approach to sensor engineering

Purpose – This paper reviews some of the applications addressed by a new company that specialises in the integration of sensors on assembly plants.Design/methodology/approach – The company's expertise encompasses mechanical, electrical and electronic and optical engineering, and it is able to provide complete solutions, using off‐the‐shelf and bespoke elements as necessary.Findings – The ability to integrate standard products from different suppliers gives Complete Sensing Solutions Ltd an edge over any single sensor producer. Its further skill in manufacturing bespoke elements – whether software or hardware – also gives it the unique advantage of providing complete systems.Originality/value – Brings to the attention of production managers the existence of a sensor specialist able to design, build, integrate and install equipment on the plant.
