As the world moves to PC-based data acquisition systems, the market for global data acquisition systems has grown significantly. Data acquisition or DAQ is a process that measures physical or electrical phenomena like sound, pressure, temperature, voltage, current etc. using a computer. A typical DAQ system consists of sensors, DAQ measurement hardware, and a computer that has programmable software.
Initially, DAQ systems were simply mechanical devices with chart recorders. However, with advancement in technology, powerful microprocessors are now used to perform complex data processing and represent the data as actionable indicators. With the emergence of the industrial internet of things (IIoT), the demand for industrial data acquisition systems has increased. According to analysts at Technavio, the global industrial data acquisition system market, which was valued at at $936.4 million in 2015, is expected to reach $1.28 billion in 2020, with a CAGR of 6.4%.
