Glossar

Sensor technology refers to the totality of all sensors and measurement systems that detect physical properties such as distance, weight, position, motion, or surface characteristics. In logistics, sensor technology forms the basis for automated processes by providing precise data in real time.

Practical example:

An automated measurement system uses laser and weight sensors to record the dimensions and weight of a pallet without manual intervention.
