Abstract
The market for continuous monitoring equipment is growing rapidly, and is presently deployed by the automotive, cement/building material, chemical, dairy, food
and beverage, paper, and petrochemical industries. Large-scale automation in these
sectors has become imperative in order to meet customer demands for improved
products as well as to survive in the face of competition. These industries have
seen rapid advances in the sensors and integrating equipment used for continuous
monitoring, thus improving the efficiency of production lines through the reduction
or complete elimination of rejects.
Additionally, the introduction of new Government regulations regarding safety
and traceability has forced industry players to look for more sophisticated methods
of processing, production, packaging and distribution. All these activities are increasing
the demand for continuous monitoring equipment.
This timely BCC Research report examines the existing technologies and emerging trends in new technologies. It delves into the advantages and disadvantages of each technology, their applications and major suppliers, and also forecasts market growth
through 2010.
