Chip-scale sensor integration has brought us to the edge of new market opportunities that are poised to transform business practices and consumer lifestyles. The ability to incorporate miniaturized sensors into small devices and broad networks means that actionable data can be collected anywhere, anytime — either on demand or on a continuous basis. This new capability enables consumers and businesses to monitor goods, conditions and operations in real time and to make changes and adjustments on the fly to optimize safety, health, quality control and production, and even care for the environment.
