From July 1st to July 20th, the 2020 Sunrain Group Managers Mid-year Summit of "Riding the Wind and Breaking the Waves, Huachun" was held in Lianyungang Headquarters Base of Sunrain Group. The 6-day meeting agenda covers work summary, experience sharing, learning and training, honors and team development. The interesting and predictable content of the meeting has made all the online and offline participants a full harvest, which is a good job for the first half of the year. The successful conclusion also marks the second half of 2020 when Sunrain Group officially set sail.

  The processing of the data captured by the sensor is done on the sensor IC with embedded DMP. Then, the processed data is shared to the rest of the device through the serial interface.
At the very least, smart sensors consist of sensors, microprocessors and some kind of communication technology. Computing resources are provided by low-power mobile microprocessors. Computing resources must be an integral part of the physical design-sensors that only send their data together for remote processing are not considered smart sensors.
 
Smart sensors can include many other components in addition to the main sensors. These components can include transducers, amplifiers, excitation controls, analog filters and compensation. Smart sensors also contain software-defined elements that provide functions such as data conversion, digital processing, and communication with external devices.
 
Since the smart sensor has an embedded DMP, calculations can be performed on the sensor, saving the space normally used for routing from the sensor to the MCU for processing. The embedded DMP calculates the sensor input into usable data, so the device's MCU does not need to spend energy to process the sensor data, thus saving the power normally reserved for basic sensors.
 
Smart sensors can achieve more accurate and automated environmental data collection from accurately recorded information, while reducing false noise. These devices are used in surveillance and control mechanisms in a variety of environments, including smart grids, battlefield reconnaissance, exploration, and numerous scientific applications.
 
Smart sensors are also an increasingly important part of the Internet of Things (IoT). The Internet of Things is an increasingly common environment in which almost anything imaginable can be equipped with a unique identifier (UID) and transmitted via the Internet or similar devices Data capability network. One way to realize smart sensors is as a component of the Wireless Sensor and Actuator Network (WSAN). The number of nodes can reach thousands. Each node is connected to one or more other sensors and sensor hubs and individual actuators.
