The foremost challenge for every packaging machine manufacturer is to help customers improve their production
efficiency. The manufacturing process is typically highly complex, due to the diverse nature of each product which varies
according to colour, shape, size, raw material (e.g. PET, fibre glass, paper), texture and pattern.
To manufacture such products, many customers lay separate packaging lines side-by-side. These become cumbersome
to operate and manage. In addition, running multiple processes in parallel increases the risk of errors and stoppage with
workers required to manually monitor their performance
Packaging machine manufacturers have looked to address these challenges by embedding sensors in their solutions.
Historically, their impact has been limited by the lack of an effective communication platform but automation vendors
have developed “smart” sensors built with Ethernet protocols such as CAN, Profibus and IO-Link.
Digital platforms such as this enable communication at any time from any place, thereby creating opportunities for
analysing minute details of the packaging process and paving the way for performance enhancement. End-users have
greater control over quality, flexibility and therefore wastage.
The benefits of greater flexibility and improved communication can be illustrated by vertical Form Fill Seal Machines.
When EtherCAT is deployed in input/output devices and servo & cable motors, the production uptime can be increased
by 20-30%, wastage can be reduced by nearly 15%, and architecture costs can be lowered by ~50%.

Context and Opportunity Call to Action
• Modular instrumentation has made
significant inroads in T&M over the
past decade, especially PXI-based
test equipment, which reached
$702 million in 2016.
• Since 2012, PXI penetration in the RF
T&M market for production test is
impressive; the greater complexity and
multi-channel nature of products will
further increase demand for modular
instrumentation over the next 5-7 years.
• In semiconductor ATE, demand for modular
instrumentation is also increasing in
evaluation and low volume manufacturing.
• With strong penetration in manufacturing,
modular instrumentation vendors must
expand beyond this space and capture
more of the R&D portion of the market.
• Although modular instrumentation yields
a lower cost of test than traditional
instrumentation, acquisition costs are
still a challenge and vendors must
innovate to increase performance,
while controlling costs.
• Many customers have a high level of RF
expertise but others lack resources and/or
time; vendors must devise strategies to
cater to all to ensure maximum success.

In the Home & Building segment, smart sensors are being deployed in HVAC
units to improve energy efficiency and air quality
54
Source: Frost & Sullivan
Home & Building
In building automation infrastructures, HVAC units can run inefficiently, and may provide more
ventilation than necessary based on the number of occupants, resulting in high energy costs that
indirectly affects the building’s financial performance. Moreover, this high cost of energy incurs higher costs of products and services, which makes a
business less competitive. There are some strategic energy optimization methods that lower the
operational costs. Smart sensors can turn some of these solutions even smarter. Infrared thermal
sensors can offer high accuracy in low-light conditions. They also require very little energy and are flexible in capturing, integrating, and delivering
data to any number of building automation systems. Smart, Internet-enabled indoor air quality monitors
can detect such parameters as temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and send alerts to one’s smartphone about environmental conditions.
Key Challenges
Adoption of building automation and control in large
commercial buildings and enterprises promotes
high building energy efficiency. Through
implementing building automation, operating costs
can be lowered, saving energy resources, and
pollutants can be reduced Smart CO2 sensors

Enabling Technologies for Smart Sensing in Automotive Sensor Smart Sensor Demand in the Automotive Market
Automotive applications are hostile environments where sensors need to endure high temperatures, vibration, and
extreme shock. Achieving high reliability and peak performance is a critical task. Smart contactless sensing technologies
are becoming the preferred choice of original equipment manufacturers and vehicle designers.
Smart sensors with enhanced signal conditioning, processing, and
communication capabilities have been and continue to be very
appropriate for automotive applications, where the investment in
developing and manufacturing sensors with smart capabilities is
justified by the high-volume demand.
LiDAR and CMOS image sensors are some of the new types of
sensors that will increasingly be used in emerging automotive
applications, including self-driving vehicles. Moreover, smart MEMS
accelerometers and gyros are widely used in vehicles for
applications such as stability control or rollover detection.
Anisotropic magnetoresistive (AMR) magnetic sensors and giant
magnetoresistance (GMR) have opportunities to erode more
conventional sensor technologies, such as potentiometers or Hall
Effect sensors, owing to such issues as durability, packaging
flexibility, and cost. Systems, such as ACC (automatic cruise
control), park/reverse assist, and night vision use advanced sensors,
such as radar, ultrasonic sensors, image sensors, infrared sensors,
or laser sensors. Installation of these systems in light vehicles is
forecast to increase rapidly throughout the decade. Other systems
are also finding opportunities, such as camera-based driver
assistance (including lane departure warning and intelligent adaptive
cruise control), and infrared and image sensors for driver fatigue
monitoring.

Bosch and Siemens are leading a consortium developing self-powered smart sensors for
machine condition monitoring
61
• A consortium of 7 organizations, led by Bosch and including Siemens AG and Fraunhofer Institute
for Production Systems and Design Technology IPK, is developing a sensor system to detect
anomalies in machines and avoid unplanned downtime.
• The researchers will develop a self-sufficient sensor system based on MEMS acoustic emission
sensors and MEMS microphones. The project, which received €3.84 million (about $4.5 million at
the current exchange rate) from the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMF),
started in December 2015 and is slated to conclude at the end of 2018.
• The sensor system will measure structure-borne sound (vibrations within a machine) and acoustic
sound noise form a machine). A malfunctioning machine will emit different vibrations and sounds
than a healthy machine. The system compares measured signals with stored profiles; and
continues learning so it will take action only when signals indicate a defect or wear and tear.
• The MEMS (Microelectromechanical systems) sensor system will use power generated from kinetic
energy harvesters and adaptive, self-learning algorithms. The system will provide self-diagnostics
and self-configuration capabilities, along with energy-efficient signal pre-processing at the sensor
level and high robustness. An integrated gateway ensures a secure connection to Industry 4.0
topologies.

Industry 4.0 (2/3)
Celtic-Plus, an ICT cluster (Germany), and Netas (Turkey) are behind a wearable IoT network
solution for worker safety
62
• In areas where no mobile communication such as GSM (Global System for Mobile
Communications/UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System),the Celtic-Plus WINS@HI,
Wearable IoT Network Solution for Work Safety in Hazardous Industrial Environments project, from
October 2016-September 2019, aims to create an ad-hoc, agile and reliable communications solution
for condition monitoring of worker safety in hazardous Industry 4.0 work environments to prevent
unpredictable failures and work accidents.
• Different types of IoT sensors, such as wearable devices that are able to capture data from the work
environment and vital parameters related to work safety will be exploited to extract the optimal amount
of information from hazardous production sites.
• The solution will focus on underground coal mines and tunnel or underground construction sites, which
exemplify hostile Industry 4.0 production sites that present challenges to radio communication. A key
aspect of the solution will be the ability to locate and track workers or monitored objects in hostile
environments such as coal mines and tunnels or underground construction sites using ad hoc
communications.
• The safety and operation management in mines will be improved and mine accidents will be more
accurately understood using wearable sensors that collect information such as vibration and heat from
mining equipment and detect gases such as methane and carbon monoxide from mine galleries. The
sensors will also track the health status and location of workers and allow prediction of failure for
continuous operation.

Industry 4.0 (3/3)
Zeiss and Fraunhofer are participating in the RoMulus Multi-Sensor Systems project for
measuring mechanical parameters
63
• 11 organizations are participating in the RoMulus (robust multi-sensor technology for status
monitoring in Industry 4.0) project to accelerate development of multi-sensor systems. The
collaborators include Zeiss, Fraunhofer Institute IIS/EAS, Reutlingen University, microsensys,
Robert Bosch, Technical University of Munich, TETRA, University of Bremen, University of
Freiburg, X-FAB Semiconductor Foundries.
• Multi-sensor systems, which record, process and transmit data about key parameters such as
pressure, temperature, and acceleration are vital for Industry 4.0 applications. Intelligent sensor
systems fitted on machines and work pieces can increase production by monitoring the
manufacturing status of the machine or product. The RoMulus project was launched in October
2015 and is slated to run for three years.
• The researchers face the challenge of combining MEMS technology for measuring mechanical
parameters and microelectronic components for determining variables such as light intensity or
chemical concentration in a compact area.
• The intelligent MEMS sensor systems will be designed to process vast quantities of data in a highly
energy-efficient manner. Such sensors need to be sufficiently robust to operate in an industrial
environment.
