Perspectives

Welcome to Perspectives

Our engineers have found ways to instrument the most exacting environments, and the most powerful turbines in the world with sensors. We call that, sensory intelligence. We're proud that our relentless pursuit of innovation enables us to deliver custom solutions to our clients - and we're delighted to share our perspectives here, on the industry, technology and future of engineering.

Where are sensors used? Pinch Force Sensors for Automotive

The automotive industry uses Pinch Force Sensors to measure and record the force of a closing power-assisted window or sunroof.

George Low on the new look HITEC

George Low, Managing Director of HITEC, welcomes the new look for HITEC and reflects on his 19 year journey with the Humanetics Group.

The Sensors Used In Fly-By-Wire And All-Electric Aircraft

A growing interest in finding ways either to replace heavily polluting hydrocarbon-based fuels or to increase their efficiency.

Sensors for industrial quality control

For automated assembly line processes, consistency and quality control are key. We use built-in sensors in automated manufacturing processes to ensure standards are met.

The Benefit of Custom-Made Force Sensors in the Medical Industry

The function of many drug-delivery, therapeutic, and medical device systems often relies on a change in force. Learn about how this change can be initiated by either the patient or can be automatically changed by the device itself.

The Wheatstone Bridge

Learn more about the Wheatstone bridge - two simple voltage dividers connected to a common voltage source.

Temperature Effects on Transducers

How to minimize thermal effects on transducers which degrade the accuracy of their system and could damage the transducer.

CASE STUDY: Overload Protection in Electronic Weighing Systems

There are several ways to prevent overloading in electronic weighing systems. Learn more about them.

Frequency Response of Sensors

If a mechanical input is applied at a rapid rate, a sensor may distort the conversion. We explore the sources of these distortions and how to apply corrections.

Cross-Talk Compensation Using Matrix Methods

Learn how force sensors measure forces and torques along defined axes.

Automation comes to calibration

Find out more about how the automatic calibration of sensors to signal conditioners ensures calibration is low cost, fast and has no data loss.
