Piezoelectric sensors play a fundamental role in smart factories because they provide real-time information about machine and process operating conditions. They are enablers for data-driven decision-making, predictive maintenance, and optimization of industrial processes. Manufacturers who want to benefit from piezoelectric sensors in industrial environments need robust measuring chains that include smart factory ready charge amplifiers – such as the ICAM-B charge amplifier and signal conditioner from Kistler.
