Hari Polu, President, OKOS, examines Increasing electro mechanical sensor reliability.

Electromechanical sensors, such as pressure, flow, and vacuum switches, composed of electrical and mechanical parts, interact, and transmit information or commands to other components of a larger, more complex system.
