The sensor market is one of the most promising for flexible and printed electronics. In particular, automotive and healthcare are ideal markets for flexible sensors. A number of companies are already having success in these fields. John Berron, principal business development engineer for Brewer Science, said that flexible and printed sensors are the future. “This is where Brewer Science operates,” added Berron. “Our customers continue to require more and more sophisticated solutions and the actionable data generated by them.” “As devices get smaller and more compact, the need for compression force sensing in limited space is increasing. Flexible, printed sensors are a key towards accomplishing this,” said Ed Haidar, product manager for the Embedded Sensing Division and an applications engineer with Tekscan. Flexible sensors are enjoying opportunities in a wide range of markets, including automotive, health care, environmental and others. &l
