Sensory motion tracking enabled by smart sensors is at the forefront of our fourth industrial age, pushing the boundaries of artificial intelligence and machine learning further than we could have imagined. Already widely used in animation productions, elite athletes now use motion sensors to enhance their performance and sports enthusiasts to improve their tennis serve or golf swing. In healthcare, motion tracking is helping people to monitor their heart rates, sleep patterns and fitness levels. Motion tracking technology is opening the possibilities for entrepreneurs and innovators to transform their own industries. Our physical, biological and technological worlds are merging like never before, and the potential of sensory motion capture is only restricted by the extent of our imagination.
Individualized digital health monitors benefit wearers with chronic illness or those at risk of acute infectious diseases with rapid onsets. As technology leaders are making vital sign sensors convenient and affordable for mobile and fitness applications, US Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services and other healthcare policy makers, have adopted reimbursement policies to encourage remote patient monitoring practices. The global pandemic has only further accelerated these initiatives.
Even with these economic tailwinds, addressing novel use cases can face many hurdles. Conventional medical diagnoses rely, in part, on a few test results taken under sterile clinical settings. Getting ground truth on subjects in natural settings, finding relevant longitudinal clinical studies, collecting large datasets congruent with actual form factors and workflows, and correlating all that back to clinical diagnoses often require innovative solutions.
This presentation illustrates this using two case studies of individualized, continuous health monitoring solutions. It provides an overview of their use cases and hurdles to provide a discussion on how technical communities could help to accelerate more innovation.
2020 has been a challenging year in many aspects and the consequences of the pandemic are expected to further impact the upcoming years, possibly even decade. Also the MEMS industry is experiencing multiple challenges: Firstly, development costs for new generations of MEMS sensors are increasing and hence wider, diverse markets are required to compensate the growing development expenses and to lower the risks. Secondly, a sole focus on hardware is not sufficient anymore. End-device manufacturers more and more frequently want to differentiate themselves by new features and functionalities which have to be enabled by software to remain cost-efficient. Such software competence was traditionally not available in most hardware-focused companies, creating a need to develop new competencies in our organizations. Finally, customers increasingly demand complete solutions instead of single components. Plug-and-play solutions such as development boards and reference designs created with partners are increasingly expected by our customers and partners. All along, digital tools and services need to be offered to reach a growing, increasingly diverse target group to offer a positive user experience.
In his talk, Jens Fabrowsky, Executive Vice President Automotive Electronics at Bosch, will explore the opportunities and challenges of the MEMS industry in the upcoming ten years and provide an outlook on possible solutions based on specific examples. Jens will also give a call to action for the industry on how it can embrace and contribute to the changes.

Ensuring safe social distancing in the workplace is one piece of the puzzle to enable people to work safely in the age of COVID-19. One means of ensuring safe social distancing is via wearables that continuously measure the distance between personnel. While providers of existing tracking technology based on Bluetooth low-energy (BLE) or RFID trackers are attempting to position their solutions for social distancing, finer accuracy requirements narrow down the options to ultrasonic and ultrawideband (UWB), with ultrasonic delivering a greater accuracy of < 1 cm versus < 10 cm for UWB. Relative to UWB, MEMS ultrasonic time-of-flight (ToF) range sensors consume much less power: a Chirp ToF solution can operate at 1% of the power required by UWB chips, enabling a coin-cell tag to operate for an entire workweek. In addition, electromagnetic range sensing solutions such as UWB have a critical failing for social distancing solutions: UWB cannot natively determine whether people are separated by a barrier, such as a door, window, wall, or partition. Because ultrasound propagates through air, only ultrasonic sensing can natively determine whether people are safely separated in the workplace. In this presentation, I will describe how tracking solution-providers are using Chirp’s MEMS ultrasonic ToF range sensors to create social-distancing solutions that respect an individual’s privacy but also permit an automated contact tracing capability to notify affected individuals and their emergency contact or direct management, providing a cost-effective way to minimize workforce disruption and stop chains of infection from propagating.

From the smartphones and cars we daily use, to the airplanes we occasionally take, MEMS’ reach is ever-expanding. Wearables are becoming increasingly sensitive, packing more inertial sensors and microphones. The popularity of voice personal assistants (VPA) like Siri, Alexa, etc have pushed audio technologies into new systems that are adopting VPA as a new human-machine interface and MEMS microphones are playing a vital role in this business. And the list keeps getting longer.
Covid-19 is continuously making headlines on its negative effects on markets and the economy, and of course the MEMS market is no different. However, there are some MEMS devices that have gained a lot of attention and experienced a spike in demand, because they help in the combat against the pandemic.
In this presentation, we will address these key elements. Furthermore, we will show the latest market data and MEMS ecosystem, and we will explore emerging market and technology trends, focusing on how the sensor manufacturers can squeeze out more value, overcoming current challenges.

MEMS & Sensors Market: The Effects of the 2020 Pandemic
Biography
Sensors are found today in a wide range of end applications, spreading from Consumer Electronics & Mobile to Industrial and Automotive, resulting in a sensor market in a good health overall. Even if sensor adoption in Consumer and Mobile applications can quickly skyrocket and then fade, the market is still growing and often reshaping and renewing itself. While Smartphones still represent a huge market, commoditization has left it saturated in value terms and growth is still relevant with the proliferation of multiple image sensors and at the same time it has recently moved to other accessories like smart watches or wireless earbuds from leading suppliers like Apple. Other mainstays like Automotive and Industry on the other hand are subject to longer term trends like Electrification and Robotization of the Car, as well as Smart Manufacturing, Big Data and Condition Monitoring. The presentation looks at the impacts of the major market changes on MEMS and other silicon sensors, focusing on the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on the sensor shipments and end products forecasts. Which are the sensor families most affected by the lockdowns implemented in several countries worldwide? Are the major effects caused by disruptions in the supply chains or by unexpected changes in the end product demand? Insights and examples of resilience and required market changes will be provided, with predictions of the opportunities for the years ahead.
The U.S. Department of Commerce issued a new rule for shipments destined for China, Russia or Venezuela, which enables it to more closely monitor exports, re-exports and in-country transfers of certain items. The rule broadens the scope of export-controlled items to include electronic and telecommunications equipment (i.e. PC’s, mobile devices and similar items), even if there is no military end use. In this webinar, DHL will explain how companies can comply with the new rule and answer questions about international shipping.

In the American economy, connections between learning and work get lost in translation. Employers struggle to find people with the right experience, workers struggle to demonstrate their qualifications, and colleges and universities struggle to communicate value and relevance to the job market. Whether we’re experiencing the full employment of the recent past, or facing today’s unprecedented rates of unemployment, addressing these misalignments is key for the future of workforce development.
In this talk we will discuss how to better connect people, education, and work through the common language of skills. We’ll explore how real-time labor market data focused on skills can improve how people write resumes and profiles, businesses write job postings, and learning providers create training and educational curriculum.
