A type of light sensor called a photodiode turns light into electrical energy (current or voltage). The p-side of the photodiode and the n-side of the photodiode are linked to the negative and positive terminals of the battery, respectively, making it a PN junction semi-conducting device. Between the p (positive) and n (negative) layers, there lies a natural layer. For the purpose of producing an electric current, the photodiode absorbs light energy as an input. Based on the method of operation of a device, a photodiode sensor is a semiconductor device that converts light energy into electrical current. It is also known as a light detector, photo-sensor, or photo-detector. It may manage tiny or big surfaces and may include optical filters and built-in sensors.
The market for Photodiode Sensors is anticipated to reach US$ 689.3 Mn in value in 2022 and to expand at a CAGR of 7.6% during the following five years (2022-2030).

4. Harting Technology
HARTING has been a leader in the connection market since 1945, making it one of the most well-known brands. But more recently, HARTING has increased its focus on edge computing for IoT and Industrial 4.0 applications. Early in February, while touring the HARTING Technology Group's headquarters and almost finished new European Distribution Center (EDC) logistics facility, I had the chance to hear about these recent advances. HARTING manufactures retail checkout systems, electromagnetic actuators for automotive and industrial series use, charging technology and cabling for electric vehicles, as well as hardware and software for clients and applications in automation technology, robotics, and transportation engineering. HARTING has 13 production facilities and branches in 43 countries.These conversations have made it evident that HARTING will increase its focus on digitization, education, and edge computing in 2018.
