Sensors Go Out, Up, Down and Around
Apr 9, 2015 — Cows are happier. They also are giving more milk. Both of these related outcomes are a consequence of automated milking systems that depend upon photonics-based 3-D sensors. Other innovations involve sensors operating outside the visible spectrum, which brings its own set of advantages. For instance, the use of near-infrared (NIR) and short-wave infrared (SWIR) enables manufacturers to spot defects in glassware, silicon ingots and pharmaceutical products. Other sensor advances make use of
