Asset Monitoring TWG NextFlex Public Roadmap

Asset Monitoring System (AMS) devices enable monitoring of performance, status, and health of any item of interest for a user. AMS devices can provide functional capabilities such as condition-based maintenance, time critical monitoring, monitoring for compliance actions, anti-counterfeit, cyber security, active feedback for closed loop control to maximize performance, efficiency, life, remaining useful life and environmental status, as well as improvements in manufacturing quality, and throughput.

Automotive TWG NextFlex Public Roadmap

The scope of the Automotive TWG includes Human Machine Interfacing (HMI), Antennas/Communications, Sensors, In-Mold Electronics (IME), Testing/Standards. Future scope of the automotive TWG may include Shape-Morphing and Adaptive Surfaces. Automotive platforms increasingly use electronics for several function-critical and safety critical functions including touch surfaces, acquisition of signals from sensors and systems, guidance, navigation, control, charging, sensing and operator interaction. The use of FHE and additive technologies creates an opportunity to reduce the weight of the automobile through the use of printed electronics on structural plastic and flexible hybrid electronics.
