Selecting the right sensing solutions for IoT and smart city applications

Discover how selecting the right IoT sensors can ensure reliability and accuracy when implementing new automatic environmental response systems.

The emergence of the Internet of Things has changed the way engineers approach environmental control systems. It is now easier than ever to control the direct and indirect environmental factors to which housing, urban areas, or industrial plants are subject, through cloud-based solutions, thresholds and automatic response procedures. Sensors play a key role in these systems, gathering the data from which intelligent decisions can be made by a central control system.

Hosted by Martin Keenan, Avnet Abacus’ Technical Director, with a technical presentation from Gabriele Fulco, European Product Marketing Manager Sensors, OMRON, this webinar will provide an overview of OMRON sensor technologies, with an in-depth look at sensor types, use cases and system integration.
