Sensors for Hospital Beds Help Prevent Pressure Ulcers
The US healthcare system is witnessing high demand on existing infrastructure from the expanding aging population. The U.S Census Bureau cited that by 2030, all baby boomers will be at least 65 years old which means one in every five residents will meet the retirement age. The National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) predicts that […]

Grass Bag Fill Sensor for Robotic Mowers
A lawn mower is one of the most effective equipment for keeping grassy lawns trimmed and beautiful. Some mowers come with an alert to let the operator know when the grass bag is full, thus preventing a trail of mulch on the lawn that would require manual raking. While using a traditional mower without a […]

How to Select a Hybrid Motor Position Sensor
Looking around your facility, there’s a good chance that every piece of machinery uses a motor to some degree. Where positioning motion is required, it is likely a stepper motor is employed. However, a stock motor only has an “on/off” switch, with no way of telling where the motor is or how far it’s rotated. […]
