The e-paper for the special issue
Sensor & Vision 2024
In the age of Industry 4.0, nobody talks about 'stupid sensors' anymore. Rather, it is undisputed that the measured values collected by modern sensors are real treasures. Cleverly evaluated, they help with analysis and are indispensable for machine maintenance.
