What innovations will shape supply chains a decade from now? It is impossible to know for sure, but given the frenetic pace of technological development, companies need to be on the lookout for breakthroughs that could radically alter the way supply chains are designed, built, and managed. Key to priming organizations for such transformative change is being aware of germane technologies that are emerging today. Even early-stage concepts that might not seem directly relevant may evolve rapidly and have a profound impact on future operations and hence competitiveness.
CTL is publishing a series of white papers on innovations that have the potential to transform future supply chains. In this paper, we take a look at ultra-low-power sensing. Under the leadership of Professor Anantha Chandrakasan, MIT professor of electrical engineering and computer science and director of MIT’s Microsystems Technology Laboratories (MTL), researchers are developing a new generation of sensors and radio transmitters with groundbreaking capabilities.
