TRILLION SENSORS | ARTICLE
The TSensors Roadmap will represent a set of white papers (updated after each TSensors Summit) including the following:
• Definition of sub-applications and validation of their ultrahigh volume potential.
• Definition of sensor specifications necessary to enable given TApp. e.g. accuracy, spectral resolution, sensitivity, etc.
• Reviews of sensor technology platforms from the perspective of:
• Delivering required performance/specs… • In expected volumes… • At expected selling price… • With applicability to other TApps.
Current schedule includes:
• 30 July 2014: Internal alpha version of the Roadmap. • 31 October 2014: Internal beta version of the Roadmap. • 31 December 2014: Availability to Sponsors of the unedited version of the Roadmap.
• 31 March 2015: Global availability of the edited version of the Roadmap.
Summary We believe that the growth of the sensor market to trillions of units is not unrealistic and it will result from multiple global applications using sensors as their basis to provide a link to physical and biological worlds. Funding of deployment of these applications is expected to be strongly incentivised by expected benefits including, e.g. a 35% savings of medical care costs and a 35% savings in energy creation, distribution and consumption cost for sensor rich based systems implementations. The byproduct of this explosive growth will be Abundance in two decades, a dream that slowly becomes a reality.
In parallel, these global transformations will bring us longer and healthier life, enable all of us to live in less polluted and more energy-efficient world, and have more fun than ever.
Due to the sheer size of forthcoming changes driven by global tides (growth by $19 trillion in six years), multiple business opportunities will be created. The byproduct of these opportunities was the emergence of the first MEMS Billionaires (resulting from the acquisition of sensor-based Nest by Google).
If you’d like to learn more or become involved, please come and see us at one of the following events:
TSensors Summits in Munich, Germany, 15-17 September 2014; San Diego, California, USA, 12-13 November 2014; Tokyo (currently in the planning stage for December 2014); China (currenty in the planning stage for April 2015).
