Smart Sensor Standard

Sensors are device that measures physical event and convert analog to digital signal. These devices is commonly found of cameras, scales, thermometer and other monitoring equipment. These smart sensors are regulated by IEEE 1451 so that these devices will have a standard designing and on its implementation. there are more than 3,000 sensor manufacturer worldwide, just imagine if each of those will have customization on their sensor.
