Apple styrer MEMS og sensorindustrien
MEMS Journal har netop udgivet en 204-siders powerpoint rapport, der analyserer Apples store betydning for det samlede MEMS- og sensormarked (in english).
Apple's influence on the MEMS and sensors industry is huge. A supplier's financial situation is usually dramatically affected by winning or losing an Apple design win. While many companies try to play 'catch up' and win Apple's business once there is a 'socket' to be won, smarter companies anticipate where Apple is headed next and augment their own product development roadmaps accordingly. As such, additional market intelligence about Apple's sensor related activities can improve a company's overall chances of success and, in particular, with winning Apple's business in the future.A new detailed 204-slide report from MEMS Journal provides a comprehensive overview of Apple's smart sensor technology and addresses several key questions:
● How do sensors fit into Apple's product development roadmap?
● How has Apple used sensors in the past and current products?
● Which sensor related projects does Apple currently have in development?
● Who are the specific individuals at Apple working on sensors and MEMS projects?
The report contains the following sections:
● Consumer electronics smart sensor landscape - overview of smart sensor use in consumer electronics, including types of sensors, industry size and growth, and industry trends
● Apple's smart sensor use - comprehensive review of Apple's use of sensors historically and currently, including how sensor developments have fit into the product development roadmap over time, sensor suppliers and related dynamics, and details on current sensor hardware and software
● Apple's emerging smart sensor technologies - perspective on where Apple may be headed in the future with smart sensors, including details of sensor technologies that is being explored and how they may fit into Apple's product development roadmap
● Apple smart sensor ecosystem - details on the Internet of Things (IoT) platforms that Apple is developing and the role they play in Apple's product portfolio
● Third-party accessories - examples of sensor based products that have been developed by other companies for use with Apple devices
● Competitor smart sensor use - comprehensive review of how smart sensors are being used by Apple's key competitors across various product categories and how their sensor use compares to Apple
● Apple's sensor project details - listing of ~65 relevant sensors projects at Apple, as well as the 110+ individuals at Apple working on these projects.
