2017 MEMS & Sensors Technical Congress
Wednesday, May 10, 2017 - 8:00am to Friday, May 12, 2017 - 4:55pm
Venue:
Bechtel Conference Center, Stanford University
Abstract / Description:
MEMS & Sensors Industry Group has been hosting its annual technical conference since 2001, and it was our pleasure to co-sponsor the event this year. The 2017 MEMS & Sensors Technical Congress (MSTC) took a close look at how companies in the MEMS and sensors supply chain can thrive in a challenging environment. Among the key challenges facing the industry today are:
- Creating higher integration devices with lower power
- Cybersecurity/security at the sensor node
- Energy and power management
- Ever-expanding Internet of Things (IoT) applications requiring optimized solutions
- Smaller and flexible form factors (including testing and packaging)
- Cloud/fog/edge computing
- A tsunami of data on the near horizon that will require machine learning
- Migrating from component provider to systems solution provider
