Report price : $ 4 850
Publication date : January 2008

Forecast in this report is the impact of the convergence of artificial intelligence (AI), wireless sensor networks and microsystems to produce a new family of smart and situation-aware control devices-intelligent wireless microsystems (IWM). As the first ever study of IWM technology, emerging demand is examined for what BCC anticipates will become an entirely new sector within the instruments and controls industry, projected to be worth $1.3 billion by 2013.

BCC examines the way in which a series of developments in computer science and components miniaturization are driving the creation of IWM technology. This analysis provides a detailed survey of the organizations involved in pioneering IWM technology, identifying developers in both the academic and business communities. It describes national efforts to both expand and contain the development of dual civilian-military use IWM technology. At the application level, BCC identifies, describes, and provides U.S., global, and regional forecasts for 2007 as well as 2008-2013 demand for IWMs in 10 industries that have begun to pioneer the use of the technology. Those industries are listed below:

Beverage merchandising
Chemical manufacturing
Electrical apparatus manufacturing
Food manufacturing
Special-purpose machinery manufacturing
Metal production
Petroleum refining
Plastics manufacturing
Pulp and paper processing
Transportation

Although nominally a new area of the instruments and controls industry, BCC anticipates that IWM technology will make its presence felt far beyond that specialized area. In this analysis, BCC describes uses for IWMs as varied as smart point-of-purchase displays that communicate with passing customers, to process-adapting pollution control systems that cost-justify their installation based on energy savings.
