Why Are Automakers Deploying Ultrasonic Sensors in their Offerings?

In recent years, ultrasonic sensor manufacturers such as Pepperl+Fuchs AG, Baumer Holding AG, KEYENCE CORPORATION, Siemens AG, SICK AG, Honeywell International Inc., Balluff GmbH, OMRON Corporation, ifm electronic gmbh, Rockwell Automation Inc., and Banner Engineering Corporation are focusing on partnerships, product launches, and mergers and acquisitions to meet the mushrooming need for such sensors in the automotive, healthcare, food and beverage, industrial, and agriculture sectors. 

For instance, in July 2019, Pepperl+Fuchs AG introduced low temperature sensors for cold storage and mobile equipment in outdoor applications. Such sensors can operate at -25° Celsius. Currently, these companies are majorly involved in the production of ultrasonic proximity detection sensors, due to the high-volume usage of these sensors in the food and beverage industries. Additionally, the manufacturers are also offering through beam and retro-reflective range measurement sensors. 



Such sensors are used for distance measurement, level measurement, diameter measurement, loop control, and object and pallet detection. In the coming years, the flourishing packaging industry, burgeoning need for pellet detection in the food and beverage industry, and soaring adoption of driverless cars will accelerate their usage in object and pallet detection applications at the highest rate.

According to P&S Intelligence, Asia-Pacific (APAC) dominated the ultrasonic sensors market in the recent past and it is projected to advance at the fastest rate in the foreseeable future. This can be attributed to the mounting vehicle production and flourishing manufacturing sector in Thailand, India, and China. Moreover, the burgeoning demand for smart farming equipment, especially in India, owing to the presence of large tracts of arable land in the country will amplify the need for ultrasonic sensors in the region. Such smart farming instruments are equipped with ultrasonic sensors, as these sensors ensure their proper functioning.

Thus, the mounting vehicle production and escalating use of AMRs in the agriculture sector will fuel the need for ultrasonic sensors in the coming years.
