"Green" SENSOR CHINA: Environmental monitoring is gradually becoming one of the core applications of IoT

One-piece inductor

With the continuous development of China's social economy, the rapid expansion of urbanization, the deterioration of the ecological environment has followed, and environmental issues have become increasingly prominent, mainly including three major aspects: (1) air pollution, such as PM2.5 and sulfur dioxide; (2) Water pollution, such as organic matter and heavy metals; (3) Soil pollution, such as acid-base salts and heavy metals. At the beginning of the year, the state formulated a more environmentally-friendly "13th Five-Year Plan" with a spirit of reform, and cooperated with the State Council to introduce the "Atmosphere Ten", "Water Ten" and "Ten Ten". This series of new policies marks the establishment of environmental quality by the state. Improve the dual system of total pollutant control and the determination to implement atmospheric, water and soil pollution control plans.

Environmental protection needs are increasingly urgent, coupled with sensors The continuous development of technology itself is driving environmental monitoring to become one of the first highlights in the vertical field of the Internet of Things ( IoT ). Gas sensor Water environment detection sensor Soil pollution detection sensor As the "three cornerstones" of environmental monitoring systems, it has received increasing public attention. At the same time, how to establish an environmental monitoring system, comprehensively promote environmental science and technology progress, and improve environmental issues are increasingly valued by all sectors of society and even the country.

Thanks to the popularity of the civilian sector, one of the "three cornerstones" of gas sensors More opportunities are being created in other areas, including environmental monitoring, such as industry, home, medical, and building. According to Yole Développement, 2021 gas sensor The market will cover a market value of 920 million US dollars, with a compound annual growth rate of 7.3% in the next five years, of which environmental monitoring ranks third in all application areas.

As the highest specification sensor in Asia And the Internet of Things event, the upcoming 2016 China (Shanghai) International Sensors , which will be grandly opened in Shanghai from September 12th to 14th. The Technology and Application Exhibition (hereinafter referred to as "SENSOR CHINA") will definitely highlight the hot market trend of environmental monitoring.

SENSOR CHINA exhibitors, the earliest engaged in gas sensors in China And sensor Henan Hanwei Electronics Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Hanwei Electronics"), one of the technology research companies, is connected to the upstream and downstream industries to form sensors. At the core, it covers the complete IoT industry ecosystem of intelligent terminals, communication technologies, geographic information and cloud computing software. The company has nearly 100 patented technologies for environmental protection and governance, and uses the Internet of Things smart environmental protection technology and environmental monitoring and supervision information platform to build a new environmental protection business model integrating detection, governance and intelligent operation and maintenance. In the environmental protection fields including air pollution, water pollution, solid waste pollution, chemical pollution, noise pollution, and nuclear radiation pollution, the "smart" operation of environmental management and decision-making and governance is realized in a more precise and dynamic manner. Another domestic monitoring and early warning solution based on IoT technology for intelligent monitoring of water quality, geological disasters and environmental safety is Hangzhou Luer IOT Technology Co., Ltd., and its water quality and water online intelligent management system platform is utilized. Parametric monitoring equipment, based on the advantages of self-organizing wireless sensor network and water quality and water model analysis, can comprehensively understand and manage the status quo of water quality and water in the jurisdiction, and make predictions on the environmental safety of rivers and lakes.

In addition to Hanwei Electronics and Ruhr IOT, domestic environmental monitoring sensors And the series solutions provider Yu Sheng Technology, Hangzhou Melek and so on will participate in SENSOR CHINA. In addition, many foreign representative manufacturers such as Honeywell, TDK, UST, SGX, etc. will also present their innovative product technologies and vertical application solutions based on environmental monitoring in SENSOR CHINA, and share their own predictions and trends in the environmental monitoring industry. German UST Environmental Sensing Technology Inc. uses temperature and gas sensors based on its ceramic materials using thick film processing Well known in the industry. UST gas sensor It is not only the first choice for its air quality system, but also used by many internationally renowned automobile companies such as Audi and BMW. It is also used in the field of environmental monitoring and protection.

Of course, existing solutions in the field of environmental monitoring at home and abroad do not fully represent the development trend of the industry, sensors Application and support of technology and products in environmental monitoring, sensors The application and development direction in the fields of air monitoring system, water environment monitoring system, soil monitoring system and how to ensure the accuracy, effectiveness and timeliness of information collection, and the rational application of this series of topics in the field of environmental monitoring and even the whole The sensing industry is quite meaningful. "Environmental Monitoring Application Seminar" --- One of the 14 heavyweight conferences of SENSOR CHINA will be held on September 14th. At that time, the provincial and municipal environmental protection bureaus, environmental monitoring centers, third-party testing agencies, environmental engineering companies, sensor Design companies, solution providers, system integrators such as: Hanwei Electronics, SGX, UST, Suzhou Nengstar Electronics, Hangzhou Ruhr, Suzhou Industrial Park Nano Industry Research Institute, etc. will be gathered together, based on the above issues, Collision thinking.

Take advantage of the industry's unprecedented scale and coverage sensors SENSOR CHINA gathered sensors in the same period of the whole industry chain of the Internet of Things and the whole industry scene. And the "half of the Internet" in the Internet of Things, with a view to creating the industry's first sensor And application of the combination of trends and technological co-discover of the event, through "The Best of the Best Sensor Solution Showcase", the wisdom of the agricultural exhibition area, MSIG (MEMS & Sensors Industry Group ) Pavilion area, things fine display area such as a complete display sensor The industrial ecological chain, with 5 major academicians, more than 50 leading Chinese, American, German and French leading companies and top experts, 1000 sensors and Internet of Things professionals, will take the four dimensions of production, learning, research and use. To perceive the deep insights of the future of IoT.
