6.8. COLOR SENSORS

The Color Detection sensor market is a key to successful industry automation. This market has
been witnessing tremendous growth due to increasing industries and new technological
advancements.

Advanced Economies also maintain a stable growth mainly due to

reimbursements offered for specific equipment and health policies of government and private
entities. Portability, customization, ease of use, and automation are the key factors that Color
Detection sensors market players use to differentiate their products and services.
The various types of sensors in the market include color sensors, color mark sensors,
luminescence sensors and contrast sensors. Color sensors monitor color consistency in
applications such as plastics, textiles and other such constant production processes. Color mark
sensors are effective in detecting colors at high speeds. Luminescence sensors are used in paint,
grease and other such adhesives industries. Contrast sensors are used mainly to detect
registration marks and objects in general. These are the various applications of color detection
sensors.
