Description: A rugged sensor is a device designed to operate in adverse environmental conditions, such as extreme temperatures, humidity, dust, vibrations, and other factors that could compromise its functioning. These sensors are built with materials and technologies that allow them to withstand wear and corrosion, ensuring their durability and reliability in challenging environments. Their design includes features such as hermetic seals, protective coatings, and resilient electronic components, enabling them to continue functioning effectively where conventional sensors might fail. The importance of rugged sensors lies in their ability to provide accurate and continuous data in critical applications, such as infrastructure monitoring, precision agriculture, and environmental monitoring. In the context of the Internet of Things (IoT), these sensors are essential for real-time data collection, allowing informed decision-making and process optimization across various industries.
