This work addresses the role of optical sensing within the new emerging paradigm Industry 4.0. It starts with some thoughts about complex systems and their inherent need of enlarged sensorial tools. Then, the principles of optical sensing are presented with identification of the two principal types. After summarizing what is meant by Industry 4.0, it is detailed how optical sensing can contribute to the raise up of this new industrial concept, focusing on vision, physical sensing, chemical sensing, and sensor multiplexing. Emphasis is given in fiber optic sensing and, when feasible, in fiber Bragg grating sensing technology. Finally, some final remarks are delivered.

适用于工业 4.0 的光学传感器


这项工作探讨了光学传感在新兴范式工业 4.0 中的作用。它始于对复杂系统及其对扩大感官工具的内在需求的一些思考。然后，介绍了光学传感的原理并识别了两种主要类型。在总结工业 4.0 的含义后，详细介绍了光学传感如何促进这一新工业概念的提出，重点关注视觉、物理传感、化学传感和传感器复用。重点是光纤传感，如果可行的话，重点是光纤布拉格光栅传感技术。最后，发表一些最后的评论。
