Purpose and goal
Provide a survey with the most promising sensor technologies and research results in robust sensors for harsh environments, and so increase the awarness, and prepare for implementation of new sensors for the processindustry. To create interaction betseen Swedish process industry and representants for new sensor technologies. This has been done by compilation of a report with novel sensor technoloiges for harsh Environments, and by a performed workshop in the same subject.
Results and expected effects
The direct result is the report that compiles the most promising new sensor technologies for harsh envrionments, and the performed workshop. The indirect result of this is that process industry and representants for sensor Technologies have obtained a higher mutual knowledge of each other. This is a good base for sucessful implementation of new technolies and to direct the development of new sensor technologies in the right direction. The long term effect of this cannot be seen now, but at least the pre-requisites for obtaining the goals of improved process control exist.
Approach and implementation
To meet a number of processindustries, seeing their processes in reality and interwiewing them on where they have most needs of new working sensors have been a good base for identifiyng new sensing Technologies among companies and reserach Groups. A final mach between problems and solutions where done in a workshop , that created a fruitful mutual understanding between the process industry and sensor technology representants.
