Commercialization of P/F/S&FF Sensors & Systems – Part 2 | Sensors Magazine
In our article, Trillion Sensors Initiative [2], Dr. Janusz Bryzek and I stated that reducing the average cost of a sensor is a necessary requirement for achieving the trillion-sensor goal, i.e., for the worldwide annual volume of sensors shipped to reach the trillion-unit level. The opportunity to collaborate with Janusz on his Trillion Sensor Initiative was a catalyst to my involvement in P/F/S and FF technologies and the undertaking of my major market study where I have interviewed to date over 65 industry leaders in these technologies. The success of the Trillion Sensors Initiative will be accomplished to a great deal by the widespread adoption of ultra-low-cost sensors, many being fabricated from paper, plastic or threads/fabrics. Sensors using low-cost substrates are the key to this.
