Smarter Systems with Sensors: Better Together
ABSTRACT
Advanced sensors are necessary to ensure efficiencies and positive results – we would not be at this conference if MEMS and sensors were not so essential! But sensors cannot do it all, they need additional support to make sense of all the data that is being collected. That is where smart and connected processors come into play. These processors, aided by built-in features such as AI, fast and reliable connectivity, power-saving capabilities, and more, can unlock opportunities that previously were not possible.
This presentation will discuss how smart, connected processors complement sensors to optimize systems, whether it be factories, supply chains, retail, enterprise, asset management, and more. This will also cover form factors such as AMRs, drones, industrial automation, and asset trackers to name a few. Finally, we will discuss the new business models and opportunities that these systems can offer.
