An embedded sensor is a type of sensor that is embedded within the environment it is sensing. In order to better understand whether the adoption of embedded sensors for manufacturing purposes is an appropriate and sound strategic decision, this Intelligence Brief presents:
An overview of embedded sensors:
- What embedded sensor networks are and how they work
- Applications of embedded sensors throughout the manufacturing supply chain
- Types of sensors and their benefits
- Relevant market trends
5 case studies highlighting the use of an embedded sensor network in manufacturing and their benefits from:
- Advantech
- Ericsson
- Kaeser Kompressoren
- HIROTEC Group
- Johnson & Johnson
Potential academic partners to help drive innovation internally:
- The top university groups on embedded sensor research and with a strong industrial focus/connection are profiled.
