Editor’s note: The IoT and the industrial IoT (IIoT) provide the capability for all stakeholders in the electronics supply chain to seamlessly connect and share critical data. Visibility from the moment a component begins production through its end-of-life is possible through these leading-edge applications. But there are also real dangers to the networks that link supply…
Significant change is coming to the manufacturing arena. As artificial intelligence, the industrial IoT and the smart factory begin to transform production, Intel Corp. is gauging the impact such technologies will have on manufacturing and the supply chain — and the humans that oversee these complex operations. The benefits of smart factories are many: autonomous…

The semiconductor forecast for the internet of things (IoT) has been scaled back due to lower revenue projections for connected cities, according to the latest update from IC Insights. However, the total market growth for semiconductors in IoT applications is still projected to grow in the double digits over the forecast period of 2015 to…
The industrial market continues to be a sweet spot for the electronics supply chain. Unlike the volatile consumer market, industrial products tend to have a longer design cycle and a longer lifespan. Still, according to Semico, the industrial sector represents only a small portion of semiconductor sales. According to SIA/WSTS data, semiconductor sales to the…
Sensors are experiencing large-scale deployment in diverse end-user applications across verticals in standalone, integrated, combined, embedded and, more recently, wearable and ingestibles. Sensors are transforming to be highly intelligent with analytical and decision-making capability at the edge. Driven by the Internet of Things (IoT) revolution, sensors form the cornerstone of Industry/Manufacturing 4.0, an integrated approach to remote connectivity…
Semiconductor manufacturers leveraged Electronica 2016 as a launch pad for their new Internet of Things (IoT) platforms, components and solutions. It makes sense considering the trillion dollar forecast for IoT spending over the next five years. Global spending on IoT will reach nearly $1.3 trillion in 2019, up from $698.6 million in 2015, according to…
