Sensor and Sensor Network

• Sensor: Device that observes and measures a physical property of a natural phenomenon or man-made process and converts that measurement into a signal. (ISO/IEC 29182-2)

• Sensor Network: System of spatially distributed sensor nodes interacting with each other and, depending on application, possibly with other infrastructure in order to acquire, process, transfer, and provide information extracted from its environment with primary function of information gathering and possible control capability. (ISO/IEC 29182-2)

Application of Sensors

The Trillion Sensor Prediction

• The sensor development cycle has shrunk from 27 years down to 10

years, from conception to commercialization. And with professional

3-D printers, like IBM's capable of 10-nanometer resolution, that 10

years could shrink to months.

• Likewise cars have about 200 sensors, smart homes have about

100, smartphones have about 15. And with the Internet of Things

(IoT) on the rise, we can expect up to 130 new sensors per person

per year, also contributing to the trillion sensor prediction.

• by 2025 60-to-90 percent of the profits in the global economy will come from data analytic drawing on those trillion sensors.

The European Union's Wize Mirror is under development by 11 EU research centers using embedded sensors in mirror plus five hyper-spectral cameras, gas sensors and 3D scanners to extract heart rate, hemoglobin, cholesterol, sugar level, weight gain/loss, O2, stress/anxiety and breath gases, resulting in a daily health score just by using your mirror to groom each morning.

Smart Nation

Definition:

"A smart sustainable city (nation) is an innovative city (nation) that

uses information and communication technologies

(ICTs) and other means to improve quality of life, efficiency of urban operation and services,

and competitiveness, while ensuring that it meets the needs

of present and future generations with respect to economic, social

and environmental aspects." (Machina Research)

Industry 4.0: The Fourth Industry Revolution

Definition:

is a collective term embracing a number

of contemporary automation, data

exchange and manufacturing

technologies. It had been defined as 'a collective term for technologies and concepts of value

chain organization' which draws together

Cyber-Physical Systems, the Internet

of Things and the Internet of Services.

Industry 4.0 facilitates the vision and execution of a "Smart Factory". Within the modular structured Smart Factories of Industry 4.0, cyber-physical systems monitor physical processes, create a virtual copy of the physical world and make decentralized decisions. Over the Internet of Things, cyber-physical systems communicate and cooperate with each other and with humans in real time, and via the Internet of Services, both internal and cross-organizational services are offered and utilized by participants of the value chain
