Internet of Moving Things (IoMT)
• IoT using motion sensors
– Virtually anything that moves can take advantage of a motion sensor, creating a huge market opportunity for
MEMS
– Ability to connect anything that moves and monitor, analyze and deliver real-time insights from the resulting data
• Customers need motion sensors that are:
– Extremely small (tinier than a grain of sand)
– Low cost, disposable
– Very low power enabling months or years of battery life
– Easily integrated with other electronics
– Not bulky so it can be attached to almost anything
