Automation technologies represent a fundamental aspect of any modern industry. The major types of industrial automation solutions, such as DCS, PLC, SCADA, and MES, are used on a large-scale in process and discrete industries.DCS technologie Awhile ago, I got an email from one of the "gurus" I follow and it shocked me. The gist of it was this person wanted to trade services for a household item.To say it floored me would be an understatement.What was worse was a few days later t
According to Steve Jobs, late CEO of Apple Inc., launch of iPhone 4 was the most successful product launch in the in the history of Apple. Turing point in technology history, the first true handled computer that revolutionised the phone industry, changing it from competition between devices to platform.Apple continued to change the market definition of Smartphone Market by integrating fingerprint authentication in its iPhone 5s and subsequent models, and suddenly Fingerprint Sensor Manufacturing took the centre stage, as even Samsung and others, to compete, started integrating the same functionality with their devices. Google too with its next version of Android claims to make it much easier for app developers and service providers to integrate fingerprint authentication to be integrated with their products, which Apple had already rolled out in the form of iOS 8-Touch ID Fingerprint API.Recently, Fingerprint Cards reported to have received an order value of 268 Million Swedish Kroner (MSEK) - approximately $32 million for its touch fingerprint sensors from Taiwan’s World Peace Industrial Group (WPI), with deliveries planned during the 3rd and 4th quarter of 2015. It is expected that the sensors will be used by the Asian Smartphone Manufacturers, an evidence to the burgeoning interest among Smartphone Manufacturers in integrating touch fingerprint sensors into devices.Apple is again, considered to make the fingerprint sensors market more lucrative, as it has reported to have filed a patent which relates to the use of fingerprint sensor integrated in the actual display of an electronic device, in order to provide more seamless and vibrant biometric authentication, and claims that it can further be enhanced to a full panel fingerprint sensor.One other great revolution that is to come is Integrated Fingerprint Sensor with Navigation Devices, such as pointing devices (e.g., mice, touchpads, trackballs, pointing sticks, etc.), joysticks, and directional pads. They have increasingly become common in use like that of the devices they are attached, as they too have shrunk and expanded in terms of functionality. Synaptics Incorporated already has a patent in the technology and has incorporated it with products like touchpads and keyboards. Another great breakthrough, under the same framework, would be the use of Fingerprint Sensors as navigation device itself. One of the patents granted to Apple Inc. does talk on these aspects, describing the detection of the fingerprint movement to navigate through the first user interface and the second, so on and so forth.As the penetration of smartphones and Tablets continues to grow, along with introduction of apps solution that use fingerprint scanning, the Fingerprint Sensors Market will continue to boost. However, this market is mainly driven by security needs which are according to hacking experts are easy to hack. But, from the history of patent it looks like Apple Inc. will continue to be the lucky charm for this industry with strong growth prospects as new applications continue to add traction to the market.
