Exergen Global's Sensoranics: Custom made IRT/C Solutions for specific industrial manufacturing problems

What is Sensoranics?

This is a unique methodology developed by Exergen to augment the performance of our non-contact IR sensor technology using the smart mechanics approach that is the hallmark of Exergen Global’s competitive difference combined with implementing in depth knowledge of thermal management processes.

Sensoranics requires three building blocks.

1. Innovative sensor technology is the basis for the Sensoranics approach, and our non-contact IR sensors that measure temperature, are the foundational building blocks. The working of a sensor can be compared with a human eye: it converts electromagnetic radiation into an electrical signal. Whereas the human eye sees visible light and colors, our sensor detects infrared radiation, which is a measure for temperature. The sensor can do this in a very accurate and reliable way because of its elegant design.

2. Adding mechanical features to sensor technology is the next ingredient for Sensoranics. Although the sensors are capable of reaching very high performance levels, they can be limited in doing so because of environmental constraints. The mechanical add-ons to the sensor are designed to remove the constraints. This is not a trivial task: the added mechanics can influence the trajectory of the IR waves, the surface properties of the used materials, and the thermal properties of the assembly. These must all be understood and accounted for to help increase the sensors performance. It is an approach that requires multidisciplinary knowledge.

3. A thorough understanding of thermal management. The sensor’s performance can only be augmented properly if there is an in-depth understanding of how IR waves interact with materials and surfaces, how heat is absorbed and reflected, how thermal energy is convected or conducted through materials, and how all these factors combined affect the sensor performance in its working environment. The term “working environment” is highlighted because the sensor’s environment has a profound impact on how it works. This must be understood in detail to provide a solution based on Sensoranics.
