Thanks to their high gauge factor the digital nano sensors allow to measure very thin deformations. The very low energy consumption of the nano sensors allows to integrate them straight in your objects to make them be smart. Unlike conventional sensors, these nano sensors are also suitable for large networks implementation. The digital nano strain gauges give you the opportunity to design more efficient sensors (weight, force, pressure, torque...) without changing your test body. These sensors provide an ease of use and a rapidity of installation never seen before.
These sensors are particularly suitable for autonomous wireless sensor network, the Internet of Things (IoT), and Structure Health Monitoring (SHM). This solution is particularly adapted for the detection of loading or filling threshold in shelves or tanks. More broadly, these digital strain gauges could be used in a lot of potential application in IoT and Industry 4.0. For example, this type of strain sensing element has also been used to monitor liquid level in tanks, or to measure the weight of dump truck.
