Tiivistelmä
The thesis is an exploratory study. Its aim was to have an overall view of the measurement and sensor technologies trends, development dynamics and application scope primarily in Europe and North America. Additionally, its objectives were to present the most influential and promising measurement trends of the nearest future; to review technology trends that impact the development of single sensors and sensor systems; and to present their application scopes such as medicine, traffic and logistics industries. Similarly, the thesis focused at the European sensor industry progress, which includes geographical mapping of market players, distribution of sensor types and their expected impact.
As an exploratory study, previous studies and literature on the measurement technologies and trends were reviewed in an attempt to explain variety of trends and role of industries and different countries in their development. Moreover, a desk research was conducted whereby a list of 51 European sensor developer companies was gathered. Information was also collected on the geographical areas and respectively to the industry application segments.
The study was concluded by presenting a recent research, made from application perspective, which includes 3D imaging and distance sensor and sensor networks implementation in logistics industry.
