To achieve this goal, sensors will play a critical role in pro- viding the data needed to help create models that can then predict when a potential failure is possible and likely. Predictive models will process and analyze real-time data from sensors and output information that factories use to create an action plan to cut in production line downtime and to reduce maintenance costs. Micro-electro-Mechanical-Systems (MEMS)-technology provides the sensor suppliers with a platform to deliver solu- tions with powerful embedded intelligence to assist indus- trial machine suppliers in achieving their objectives. These embedded advanced features will help increase reliability and profitability by enabling applications for structure, condition, vibration monitoring, etc. Cost-effective MEMS sensors equipped with new processing capabilities will be among some of the major drivers for higher productivity. There are exciting times ahead with many leading-edge solutions on the horizon. In addition to sensors discussed in the publication, there are state-of-the-art developments underway to offer new sensors to meet the increasing demand for emerging applications that will deal with all the critical aspects of a modern factory. Some of these new sensors will address the needs for detecting differ- ent gases that are considered hazardous and harmful to humans and machines. Efforts are underway to develop a single sensor that may get employed for multiple various applications. For example, a sensor that can be applied to recognize gestures to turn on or shut down a machine.
