& nbsp; value of the sensor is turning function (activityction) from the product, that is, from components to software. MEMS technology uses a sensor element unit price has been reduced to dozens of cents. For sensor manufacturers, profits on the element has been very difficult. Thus, sensor manufacturers tend to develop in conjunction with the sensor and MCU to achieve a specific function software, and supplies it to vendors as solutions. FTO together multiple sensors and other products is the best example of such a proposal. For product manufacturers, software sound sensors easier to use, no longer own separate development software.

Business structure

sensor manufacturers is also changing. Sensor consists of a sensor element, Aassapast, packaging and module. Sensor manufacturers original feature is that the package be completed from the manufacturer of the sensor element by themselves, and the various sensors are integrated in a single package, the situation is purchasing a particular sensor element from other companies will increase. Therefore, there will be professional sensor component manufacturers, packaging manufacturers and module manufacturers and the like. Engage in wholesale business of sensor elements and modules manufacturers, purchasing some kind of sensor element from another company's situation will increase. Has the advantage in terms of vendor specific sensor element will be more and more available for other manufacturers, thereby expanding the manufacturing scale sensor element, even if the companies focus on the sensor element manufacturing profits can be obtained.
