Changing Markets, Changing Expectations

EDITOR

David Savastano, [email protected]

I

n talking with numerous leaders throughout the supply chain for articles for this issue, one of the interesting observations I heard frequently was how the flexible and printed electronics industry has evolved through the years. These changes were centered on two areas: changing markets and changing expectations. The potential markets have indeed changed in the decade that Printed Electronics Now has covered the industry. In our earliest days, we all heard how organic photovoltaics was going to be the breakthrough app, and lots of investors put significant sums of money into companies that no longer exist. Other markets would also come up, such as displays, but one idea remained a constant: the devices would be completely printed. The second observation was around changing expectations in terms of manufacturing. Many people believed that the product would indeed be entirely printed, eliminating silicon. There were predictions on market size that set the bar so unrealistically high that the industry was destined to underperform, setting in a cycle of disappointment. What we are seeing today is a new reality, and with it, new opportunities.To begin with, sensors, wearables and smart packaging have become realistic applications for commercialization, and are reaching the market. In-mold electronics, or structural electronics, are promising, as are curved displays.What is becoming even clearer is that hybrid electronics, combining traditional silicon with printed elements, is a more feasible way to go; it never was that realistic to think that silicon was going to go away. Further, expectations have finally been brought closer to reality. The hockey stick graph, where the stick’s shaft kept extending into the future, has been put aside. Instead, companies are finding their niches and going from there. The simple truth is that no one really knows what the market size will be. Estimating the market based on what could be if everything eventually is printed is just not a fair starting point.What is really needed is for brand owners, retailers and consumers to see successful products in the market that the customer will use, from glucose sensor strips and conductive inks to temperature loggers and NFC-enabled tags that allow consumers to communicate with the brands themselves, and so much more.That will be the true sign that the industry is hitting its stride, and with products now on the shelf, that day is here.

THINFILM BUILDS FACILITY TO HOUSE NEW HIGH-VOLUME, ROLL-TO-ROLL MANUFACTURING

SUN CHEMICAL, DIC CORPORATION ACQUIRE GWENT ELECTRONIC MATERIALS LTD.

Thin Film Electronics ASA (Thinfilm) has leased a former Qualcomm-owned manufacturing facility in Silicon Valley and will relocate its current US headquarters and NFC Innovation Center in the first quarter of 2017. The new location will house Thinfilm’s new high-volume roll-to-roll manufacturing line. Roll-based production will increase Thinfilm’s front-end production capacity to five billion NFC OpenSense and NFC SpeedTap tags per year – the equivalent of up to $680 million in annual revenue. Thinfilm intends to begin ordering line-related equipment immediately. In the near term, the facility upgrade enables Thinfilm to scale existing sheetbased manufacturing of its NFC (Near Field Communication), EAS (Electronic Article Surveillance), and Sensor Label products. Roll-to-roll production is expected to be operational for EAS by year-end 2017 and for transistor-based products in 2018. The building was formerly an operational display fab run by Qualcomm MEMS Technologies, Inc., and was in production until the spring 2016. More than $80 million has been invested previously in the 93,000 square-foot facility, which sits on 5.4 acres and features a 22,000 square foot, Class 10-10,000 cleanroom. “Given the growing market demand for NFC smart packaging, it was vital that we secure a facility that enables us to ramp capacity to ultra-high volumes through roll-to-roll production,” said Davor Sutija, Thinfilm’s CEO. “As the digital marketing arena becomes more fragmented, brands see NFC as a way to eliminate intermediaries and connect directly with their customers.”

Sun Chemical and its parent company, DIC, have acquired Gwent Electronic Materials Ltd., a leading manufacturer of conductive inks, pastes and powders for the printed electronic market. With the acquisition of the UK-based company, Sun Chemical will expand its leading global position in the printed electronics marketplace by combining Gwent’s complementary portfolio of products with Sun Chemical. Gwent’s European-based production sites will also enhance Sun Chemical’s global conductive ink, paste and powder manufacturing capabilities while allowing further penetration into developing markets. “The addition of Gwent’s diverse advanced electronic materials and tailormade technologies will further expand Sun Chemical and DIC’s solutions portfolio for printed electronics globally,” said Mehran Yazdani, president of Sun Chemical Advanced Materials. “Sun Chemical has experienced tremendous growth in the global printed electronics market and this acquisition will help us expand into this strategic market and enable us to better serve our customers.”

NextFlex Names First Four Recipients of Contract Awards

N

extFlex, America’s Flexible Hybrid Electronics (FHE) Manufacturing Innovation Institute, announced the first four recipients out of eight contracts awarded from the institute’s inaugural project call. Each project was selected for its potential to contribute to the goal of the industry-led, collaboration-based NextFlex: advancing the manufacturing ecosystem for FHE in the US. The value of all eight contracts is $14.8 million, with $8.6 million of that being cost-shared by the recipients. This is part of $75 million in funding over the next five years that was from the DoD’s initial award last fall. NextFlex officially opened its San Jose headquarters and manufacturing pilot line on Aug. 31. FHE gives everyday products the power of silicon ICs by combining them with new and unique printing processes and new materials. The result is lightweight, low-cost, flexible, comfortable, stretchable and highly efficient smart products. The first four contracts among this initial wave of eight PC 1.0 awards go to the following: • Purdue University with industrial partner Integra Life Sciences, along with Western Michigan University and Indiana University School of Medicine. • California Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly) together with its industry partners, Jabil Circuit, DuPont and NovaCentrix. • Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) and their partner University of California at San Diego. • Binghamton University (BU), who is partnering with GE Global Research, i3 Electronics, Infinite Corridor Technologies, Rochester Institute of Technology, Analog Devices and Corning Inc. The Purdue project’s goal is to create a printed FHE smart wound dressing that can sense oxygen levels in a wound bed and deliver topical oxygen to arrest further deterioration of the wound. The Cal Poly project proposes development of an assembly method for attaching ultra-thin chips onto printed flexible substrates that can provide better performance and comfort for wearable medical/human monitoring systems. Jointly submitted by PARC and the University of California at San Diego, the third project proposes to create a mouthguard biosensor label that will serve as a platform for chemical biosensing and wireless communications via the Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) standard. For the fourth project selected, BU and GE will work to develop and mature the FHE manufacturing technologies needed to fabricate wireless pervasive/ubiquitous integrated sensor systems. 12

VTT’S FUNCTIONAL INKS BRING ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, ENTERTAINMENT TO PRODUCTS Traceable consumer products and entertaining solutions are about to become part of everyday lives, particularly in food packaging, textiles and household appliances. Through the TagItSmart project, VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland is developing functional inks that can be used to add variable codes to products. For example, using such a code, a mug can notify a consumer of the temperature of a drink, or packaging can notify of the “best before” date and the product origin and country of production. Functional inks are used for the printing of 2D codes on various products. Practical IoT applications are being developed under the TagItSmart project over a period of three years.

NREL DISCOVERS HOW TO MAKE PEROVSKITE SOLAR CELLS OUT OF QUANTUM DOTS Scientists with the Energy Department’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) for the first time discovered how to make perovskite solar cells out of quantum dots and used the new material to convert sunlight to electricity with 10.77% efficiency. The research, Quantum dot-induced phase stabilization of a-CsPbI3 perovskite for high-efficiency photovoltaics, appears in the journal Science.The authors are Abhishek Swarnkar, Ashley Marshall, Erin Sanehira, Boris Chernomordik, David Moore, Jeffrey Christians, and Joseph Luther from NREL. Tamoghna Chakrabarti from the Colorado School of Mines also is a co-author. In addition to developing quantum dot perovskite solar cells, the researchers discovered a method to stabilize a crystal structure in an all-inorganic perovskite material at room temperature that was previously only favorable at high temperatures. The crystal phase of the inorganic material is more stable in quantum dots. Most research into perovskites has centered on a hybrid organic-inorganic structure. Since research into perovskites for photovoltaics began in 2009, their efficiency of converting sunlight into electricity has climbed steadily and now shows greater than 22% power conversion efficiency. However, the organic component hasn’t been durable enough for the longterm use of perovskites as a solar cell. NREL scientists turned to quantum dots, which are essentially nanocrystals of cesium lead iodide (CsPbI3), to remove the unstable organic component and open the door to high-efficiency quantum dot optoelectronics that can be used in LED lights and photovoltaics. n

The Growth of the Flexible Hybrid Electronics Market Led by NextFlex, industry, researchers and universities are teaming up on projects with the potential to change the way we live. BY DAVID SAVASTANO EDITOR [email protected]

T

he field of flexible and printed electronics has been seen as having the potential to change the world we live in, but the challenge has been to actually print the product in its entirety. Industry and researchers realize that flexible hybrid electronics have the ability to be a game changer by using a combination of traditional silicon-based electronics and printed systems. This has opened a door to new processes and projects. The formation of NextFlex has been a benefit to the rapidly expanding field. Formed in 2015 through a cooperative agreement between the US Department of Defense (DoD) and FlexTech Alliance, NextFlex is a consortium of companies, academic institutions, nonprofits and governments with the goal of advancing US manufacturing of flexible hybrid electronics. NextFlex executive director Malcolm Thompson said that the mission of NextFlex is to develop and help make a robust manufacturing supply chain and ecosystem for flexible hybrid electronics (FHE). Since its beginnings last November, NextFlex is growing rapidly. “Our first member signed up in November, and our membership is now up to 58, with approximately 25 more organizations in the pipeline,”Thompson reported.“We have companies that are very interested in a narrow aspect of developing a

Fall 2016

particular material or piece of equipment, as well as manufacturing companies like Flex and Jabil. We have a whole range of different kinds of companies, from big companies from Boeing, Lockheed, GE and DuPont to very small companies and startups.” Dan Gamota,VP of the Hardware Innovation Group at Jabil Circuits, said that unlimited product form factor freedom and the ability to deform (bend, twist, and stretch) the product are key differentiators for flexible hybrid electronics. “Electronics had historically been rigid and put into a rigid housing, but many advanced FHE systems can take infinite shapes by being deformed (twisting and stretching) and ultimately taking the shape of the housing, “ Gamota said. “These FHE systems can conform to the human body or onto 3D structures while providing ancillary functionality, which is a major benefit.” Gamota said that the hybrid nature of FHE opens up many more product design and functionality opportunities. “In the early 1990s, printed electronics came on as a 5-cent solution for RFID, but it was never achieved,” Gamota recalled. “A few years later companies were going to print flexible displays, and it never happened. With FHE, we can take a product that already exists or one that is an idea and design a novel

Flexible hybrid electronics

wearable product that provides unique functionality that previously was not realized.” Gamota discussed the example of feeding tubes that are on the market today that were improved through the use of flexible hybrid electronics. “Objects are being improved because of added functionality by adding FHE,” he said. “One product is a feeding tube, which has been around for 30 years. Its function is to help deliver nutrients into a person’s body more efficiently. It was improved using FHE by integrating a tiny camera at the end of the tube, plus two LEDs that can provide lighting so the healthcare provider can visually inspect the inside of their patient’s stomach.

A flexible substrate is needed because it must pass through the patients nose during insertion. That is a product that is commercial today that was realized with the advancement in FHE.” Stan Farnsworth, VP of marketing for NovaCentrix, said that hybrid printing combines the positive attributes of each technology type. “For the flexible/printed technologies, which have been in development for decades and are now at a fairly advanced state, direct benefits often include simplified manufacturing methods, more efficient use of materials and allowance for novel form factors,” Farnsworth said. “Benefits achieved by utilizing elements of more traditional electronics technologies include higher electrical performance, reduced cost of components and ability to utilize existing industrial know-how and infrastructure. By combining the right attributes of each technology set, business value can be created through novel product concepts as well as through next-step product iterations.”

PROJECTS FOR NEXTFLEX Recently, NextFlex announced its first round of projects utilizing flexible hybrid electronics. “We put out project calls, which ask for people to address these issues, and the working groups use a selection process,” 14

13-15 Flexible Printed Electronics 1016.indd 14

Thompson added. “Our first range of project calls was fairly broadly based, and we received 71 responses, which was pretty impressive. These projects are really good.” “Our second project call was narrowed to eight different disciplines and we got very good, specific responses,” Thompson noted. “We are in the process of signing development agreements with the organizations involved.” PARC, a Xerox Company, and University of California at San Diego have a project ongoing for NextFlex that is creating a mouth-guard biosensor label that can be worn by members of the military and others in high-stress positions. This project, which began under the NanoBio Manufacturing Consortium, monitors lactate concentration, a key indicator of fatigue. The sensors will be printed, and can be adapted to other biomarkers such as sweat. “We are developing electrochemical enzyme-based sensors using saliva to monitor glucose and lactate, and this is also relevant to other biomarkers like sweat,” Janos Veres, the leader of PARC’s Novel and Printed Electronics Program, said. “There are 180-plus biomarkers in sweat. UC-San Diego is very strong in this field, as they understand the physiology behind biomarkers, and we can make these sensors more amenable to production. We want to make it look like a plastic mouthguard.” Purdue University, Integra Life Sciences, Western Michigan University and Indiana University School of Medicine are collaborating on a project that can deliver topical oxygen to chronic/non-healing wounds such as diabetic foot and bed sores through a patch. It can be loosely described as a Band-Aid that would be able to convert hydrogen peroxide to oxygen and deliver it specifically to the wound. “Our project is designed for oxygen-deprived wounds,” said Babak Ziaie, professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Biomedical Engineering at Purdue University.“It is a smart wound dressing that delivers oxygen in situ. We are working with Integra to see if we can integrate this into their collagenbased system to improve the healing process. This would provide more functionality if these could be married together.” Ziaie noted that the project’s focus is on the delivery side. “We convert hydrogen peroxide to oxygen, which would be good for chronic wound care such as diabetes wounds,” he said. “It is low cost, very accurate and delivers to a very specific location. The challenges are manufacturing to scale and to integrate biomaterial with paper and other sensing materials, and how to go all the way to market with FDA approval.” Ziaie noted that Integra’s expertise in artificial skin is a key to this project. “Integra is prominent in the artificial skin market,” said Ziaie. “We have a lot of experience in sensors and delivery systems, and we are working on delivering oxygen for chronic wounds using paper and flexible platforms. We have done a lot of work on small scale. Western Michigan is helping us to develop the processes to scale this up, and Indiana University is working on the bio-compatibility of the materials and functionality.”

Flexible hybrid electronics

“We have been working in the field of flexible hybrid electronics for the past three or four years,” Ali Shakouri, Mary Jo and Robert L. Kirk Director, professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue University, noted. “The effort at Purdue is focused on applications related to healthcare, ag, food and pharmacy. With the advent of flexible and large area electronics and low cost sensors, it is possible to bring some of the functionality of electronics for applications in food sensors, precision agriculture and smart pharmaceuticals.” California Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly), together with Jabil Circuit, DuPont and NovaCentrix, are developing digital tattoos. Dr. Jianbiao John Pan, professor and graduate coordinator in the Department of Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering at Cal Poly, noted that the university has worked extensively on printed electronics. “We are leading a project about developing assembly process and reliability evaluation for attaching ultra-thin silicon ICs onto printed flexible substrates for human monitoring systems,” said Dr. Pan. “One objective is to develop and quantify assembly processes for integrating flexible ICs and sensors onto textiles.We are developing processes that can be transitioned to volume manufacturing quickly. “We hope to complete our project by the third quarter of 2017, and we believe our assembly process could make many more application-oriented flexible hybrid electronics projects feasible,” Dr. Pan concluded. “These products could change people’s lives, and make human life much better from infants to elderly people.” “I’m enjoying working with the team at Cal Poly for their creativity and their ability to just get things done, plus I really think the students play a crucial role in the near-term and long-term success of these efforts in a big-picture kind of way,” said Farnsworth. “Jabil brings an incredibly deep history of electronics innovation and manufacturing, and certainly provides an essential voice of reason and pragmatism to the project. DuPont is well-known for materials innovation. At NovaCentrix, we have been focused on developing enabling manufacturing tooling, especially around our PulseForge photonic curing tools, as well as with innovative materials. We’ve also worked hard to develop an integration competency, for how the involved technologies can come together and be made to form a product solution.” “Our NextFlex project will lead to the design and assembly of FHE-based digital tattoos,” Gamota said. “These tattoos could monitor a variety of biophysical markers, each tattoo having a different sensor for a specific physiological marker. Our partners have come together to establish processes, designs and equipment platforms to develop novel digital tattoos. DuPont is providing the substrate and NovaCentrix the conductive materials, equipment and processing equipment. Cal Poly is conducting the theoretical work and characterization studies, and Jabil is providing the design for manufacturing discipline necessary for industrialization of the product.” Fall 2016

OPPORTUNITIES FOR FLEXIBLE HYBRID ELECTRONICS The hybrid flexible and printed electronics field has evolved through the years as markets have emerged. “For a while, the industry was very excited about making flexible displays, but it is not happening as there is an established infrastructure is in place,” said Veres. “A bunch of companies were excited about printable RFID, but it was against an incumbent technology and people realized the limitations of organic semiconductor materials. It didn’t make sense to compete with silicon to make microchips. “This led to initiatives in simpler areas like touch displays and smart labels, and with the rise or wearables, we are realizing that you can bring silicon into the infrastructure,” Veres added. “We are very interested in the smart label space due to its simplicity. Printing gives the ability to configure different variations. These smart labels can be simple, with one communication chip, one sensor and an antenna.Wearables are coming, and we will grow our understanding and develop more and more dedicated chips and high quality inks and material sets and choose the form factor of the wearables. “The future deployment of IoT will be very much changing, with intelligence built all around you, from surfaces of cars to the coffee mug in your kitchen,”Veres concluded. “We will need lots of different deployments, some short-lived like smart labels, which may only be needed for a couple of hours.” Dr. Pan of Cal Poly noted that the flexible electronics industry is still at an early stage. “We have a lot of knowledge and skills from microelectronics packaging to learn from,” Dr. Pan added. “There are a lot of promising markets, such as human performance monitoring systems, in which we can monitor a patient’s health from a young baby to a patient who has suffered a heart attack. We can eliminate many wires with traces printed on fabric, which allows the patient to be more comfortable. Another big market is athletics, as the coach can monitor athletes for dehydration or exhaustion.” “Materials science is now spurring growth into brand new categories of products,” said Gamota. “These might be digital tattoos, where we can make a product that is intimately in contact with your skin using truly stretchable materials.This material allows you to have electronic sensors that maintain contact with your body during deformation and motion to measure physiological conditions. “I’m most excited about the stretchable part,” Gamota added. “Our imagination can go wild. Sensors on your body could monitor electrolytes, and you can have a specially formulated drink to replenish your electrolytes. Individuals requiring medical oversight can receive point of care service continually with a FHE-based product that provides real-time monitoring.” For more information on flexible hybrid, see the online version at www. printedelectronicsnow.com. n

traditional means of manufacturing in many markets,” XENON Corporation CEO Lou Panico said. “At this time, we have a better understanding the path for successful commercialization will extend longer.” TactoTek specializes in the field of 3D injection molded structural electronics, integrating printed electronics and discrete electronic components such as LEDs and ICs into a 3D injection molded structure while adding functionalities like lighting, printed sensors and antennas. “Brands and OEMs are constantly seeking differentiation,” said Dave Rice, SVP marketing for TactoTek. “3D smart surfaces enable form factor and functional innovation.”

PROMISING MARKETS FOR FLEXIBLE AND PRINTED ELECTRONICS New applications are being developed daily for flexible and printed electronics. Panico pointed to sensors in automotive and aerospace industries as growing markets, while Kolbusch noted that sensors, energy harvesting, flexible display electrochromic films and wearables are promising markets. “At Sun Chemical, we believe the drive towards the consumer at the item level, particularly when it comes to smart packaging and smart labels, will become increasingly evident over the next few years,” said Bjorlin. “Much of our focus in R&D is geared towards the development of advanced materials able to be processed in high speed and that can be processed equally in the non-traditional convertor space that supports the consumer brands.” Britton said that unique form factors are helping to drive new business. “Long term, those markets where the new form factor enables a product which can’t be met by traditional electronics or non-electronics solutions are growing,” Britton said. “Obvious examples are IoE logistics (supply chain monitoring and management from producer to end consumer) and wearable technology, mainly health and fitness. “Short term, the growth markets are where the new form factor offers a significant advantage in terms of performance over traditional technologies,” Britton added. “Most examples for us at the moment are for advanced temperature sensing in the traditional IoT – manufacturing, process and instrument monitoring, but we are getting some traction in healthcare, logistics, and environmental monitoring.” “TactoTek’s strongest market pull is from automotive, home appliances and wearable technology,” Rice said. “We also have strong interest for home automation, industrial controls, medical devices and other markets.”

INTERESTING APPLICATIONS There are numerous products being developed, although many are covered by non-disclosure agreements (NDAs).Throughout the supply chain, manufacturers are seeing interesting projects. Panico said that XENON is developing low cost, benchtop R&D photonic sintering equipment. “Driving this work is the Fall 2016

requirement for improved tools to assist researchers, scientists and engineers in determining the precise parameters to control sintering of new copper nano inks,” Panico said. Bjorlin said that Sun Chemical is working on several strategic projects, including in mold electronics, 3D antennas and sensors. “Our focus is in supporting a range of materials and process technologies that are driven towards enabling next generation applications,” said Bjorlin. “For example, we believe a robust nano materials portfolio will be an enabling materials technology and open pathways to producing material alternatives to a range of applications including display, switch technology, EMI/RFI shielding and lighting.” Britton said that almost all of PST Sensors’ work these days is under NDA, but the most interesting projects are those that use temperature sensing to do something else. “One project is with a consumer goods company to develop a high frequency temperature logger to monitor and control the manufacturing process in one of their major products produced internationally,” Britton added. “The demands for this tag are very unusual, but it is based around a credit card format generic passive UHF tag, which we now call the Kushushu Card. It has no battery, a large area temperature sensor for sensitivity, and early versions have a read range of 3m, which compares favorably with an NFC tag. It is also the base of a system we are developing with a Scandinavian partner for fish and other fresh produce monitoring.” n For more information, see the online version of this story at www. printedelectronicsnow.com.

CONNECTING to the INTERNET of THINGS Printed electronics, RFID are providing solutions for the IoT. BY DAVID SAVASTANO EDITOR [email protected]

T

here is tremendous interest in the Internet of Things (IoT). The potential to connect to literally trillions of items could provide consumers, retailers and brand owners alike with vast amounts of information. The ability to connect to the item level is one of the challenges that manufacturers are facing, and printed electronics, RFID and near field communication (NFC) enabled devices provide a solution that is already being implemented in the marketplace. Bill Cummings, SVP, corporate communications for Thin Film Electronics (Thinfilm), said that the IoT market really has unlimited potential. “Certainly it’s a matter of execution, but it’s also about making people’s lives easier … as opposed to implementing technology for technology’s sake,” Cummings added. “We see Thinfilm’s role as being a key IoT enabler by bringing intelligence to everyday items, extending the traditional machine-to-machine boundaries, to include those traditionally unconnected items like wine, spirits, food, medicine, cosmetics, apparel, packaged goods, etc. The smartphone serves as the intermediary or ‘smart agent.’ It turns the Internet of Things into the Internet of Everything.”

18-19 RFID 1016.indd 18

RFID is a key enabler of the IoT. Craig Cotton, Impinj’s VP of marketing and product management, said that according to IDTechEx, RAIN tag IC volumes reached 5.3 billion in 2015 and are expected to grow to over 20 billion in 2020. “If you’ve purchased apparel from a major retailer like Macy’s or Zara, run a race like the New York City Marathon, enjoyed a drink from a Coca-Cola Freestyle soda fountain, hit a ball at Topgolf or checked bags at airports worldwide like Las Vegas McCarran, then you’ve probably interacted with the Impinj platform,” said Cotton. “We’ve seen several exciting developments this year driving growth across verticals. One great example of the technology’s impact was seen in Delta’s announced use of RAIN RFID for baggage tagging resulting in improved service, substantial cost reductions or savings, and increased customer satisfaction.” Michael Fein, senior product manager, RFID at Zebra Technologies, said that Zebra has seen great growth in passive RFID during the past year, particularly in the retail space. “There is further penetration in retail applications,” Fein said. “We are seeing major retailers like Macy’s, Decathlon, Target and Kohl’s developing new ways to implement RFID technology.”

Connecting to the Internet of Things

Carl Rysdon, VP of inventory control solutions for Checkpoint Systems, reported that RFID adoption is gaining significant momentum, particularly in retail and apparel. “At the June GS1Connect conference in Washington DC, GS1 US CEO Bob Carpenter mentioned that over 40% of US apparel brands are now source tagging with RFID,” Rysdon noted. “As retailers adopt RFID, they are asking their brands to do the same, to provide greater inventory visibility in store and in fulfillment nodes in the supply chain.” Rysdon said that RFID is the cost effective means with which to place a sensor at item level that provides meaningful, actionable data to enhance the retail experience and drive sales. “We’re seeing more and more retailers leverage RFID and other IoT sensors to connect multiple touch points in the shopping journey, from providing real-time inventory status in mobile apps, streamlining omnichannel fulfillment and personalizing promotions in loyalty apps and for digital signage,” Rysdon added. “Today, RFID sensors provide the majority of inventory management and logistics data in the IoT ecosystem, which is essential for omnichannel retailing.” “The RFID market has continued to grow to our satisfaction,” said Ted Danhauser, VP of sales, head of pharma and healthcare, SMARTRAC Technology Group. “Though we do not disclose detailed business figures, we can say that 2015 exceeded our outlook and was one of the strongest years in our history. That trend has fortunately continued in 2016 to date.” “It is obvious that the IoT market offers vast potential for great opportunities, value creation and virtually unlimited use cases for companies, governments and consumers,” Danhauser added. “Market experts predict that the economic impact created by the Industrial Internet alone (aka “Industry 4.0”) will increase to between US$1 trillion to US$4 trillion per year by 2025.That is only one example, and other vertical markets such as healthcare, pharma, retail and fashion are equally promising. RFID technology is a key to tapping into these markets due to its pivotal role as the most functional and economical solution to connect simple objects to the digital world.”

OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE IOT The ability to connect the consumer to the items they buy and use is one of the major advantages of the IoT. “We believe using NFC to help connect everyday items via a smartphone or device is an ideal scenario,” Cummings noted. “We’re manufacturing NFC chips using a non-conventional form of silicon, and we’re able to produce the chips in high volumes and at relatively low cost points. This scale enables us to diffuse this intelligence at the disposables level. As a communications protocol, we also feel NFC will continue to rise in popularity. It’s fast and seamless. It’s much less invasive than Bluetooth or beacons, and requires that the end-user or consumer opt in and make a conscious decision to engage with a particular product.” “Today, the IoT comprises billions of connected machines Fall 2016

18-19 RFID 1016.indd 19

and devices. However, there are still trillions of simple, everyday things, which are not yet connected.There’s significant value in providing these things with a digital identity by using RFID,” said Danhauser. “Once these things have a digital identity, they can provide brand owners and retailers with information regarding post-sales use, opening up totally new perspectives in terms of customer loyalty. If you think that marketing expenditures reach US$500 billion annually, that alone is a huge market.This also holds true in regard to product authentication and counterfeit protection.” “The IoT will impact almost all industries, as the need to track items and monitor things like temperature remotely continue to grow,” Cotton said.“The Impinj platform and products are deployed across many industries, including retail, healthcare, logistics/supply chain, food service, and hospitality.” Rysdon said that the low cost and small form factor of passive RFID labels makes them ideal for high-volume, high velocity applications, such as shipping, receiving, inventory management and order fulfillment. RFID as EAS hardware and Dual RF-RFID EAS tags are also well-suited for loss prevention in retail stores “Retailers already use EAS tags in store to protect highrisk and high-value items; dual RFID-EAS tags enable them to leverage existing processes and budgets to improve inventory management for these items as well,” Rysdon said. While RFID is ideally suited for inventory, it is also gaining traction in manufacturing. “RFID allows retailers to gain tremendous insights into their inventory levels,” Fein noted. “There is a lot more appreciation among manufacturers about how RFID can create productivity gains as well. “Passive RFID tags have the ability to be the last node of visibility into everyday items, whether it is in a retail store or a critical component of your car, or for food safety or a skier at Vail,” Fein added. “In healthcare, we are seeing lots of inventory challenges, such as high-value items like medicines, patient ID and asset ID.” Adebayo Onigbanjo, director of marketing for Zebra Technologies, cited healthcare as an area where RFID is making a difference. “In the IoT space, one use case uses RFID to enable asset tracking,” said Onigbanjo. “RFID provides visibility. It helps the hospital to understand how its assets move through the hospital, where they are and how they are being used. It tracks the time in use, idle time and transition times. IoT allows them to analyze the data and find the bottlenecks. “Hospitals are a chaotic environment,” Onigbanjo added. “IoT and RFID give the healthcare provider an accurate system and accurate timing. Without RFID, the hospital would never be able to track that data manually.” For more information on PE, RFID and the IoT, see the online version at www.printedelectronicsnow.com. n

Research Institutions in Flexible and Printed Electronics Researchers are developing new capabilities, which are leading to new applications. BY DAVID SAVASTANO EDITOR [email protected]

n emerging high-technology industries, research institutions often play an important role in coming up new developments. Researchers worldwide are coming up with new approaches for flexible and printed electronics. Dr. Giovanni Nisato, senior manager, business and technology development for CSEM, noted that printing has been a part of the electronics industry for a long time, but fully printed electronics have not become mainstream yet. “In the past five years, a number of different things happened in printed electronics and organic electronics,” Dr. Nisato said. “People came to terms with a lot of reality checks. Very high expectations were raised and not always met, but there has been a tremendous amount of work and a maturing of the industry. “There are now several companies that learned from those experiences, and we are now at the point where a lot of devices are now technologically possible,” Dr. Nisato added. “OLED became very clearly a mainstream technology. We see movement toward flexible OLEDs, which are not printed in the beginning, and devices for human machine interfaces in general. Touch screens and wearables are human-centric and are important areas for printed electronics.” “If we look to the field of flexible and printed electronics, a lot of start-ups vanished from the market, but there are also other companies that really established themselves in this market,” said Dr. Andreas Willert of the Fraunhofer Institute for Electronic Nano Systems ENAS.“There has been some interest 20

20-22 Researchers 1016.indd 20

from printing shops, but most of them, especially settled in the graphics arts industry, are not aware that besides new inks, a new workflow is also needed. I think it’s easy to add conductive traces to a printing product, but that isn’t the whole story. This gap some start-ups and other companies are filling in, bringing a whole set of competencies like electronics, circuit design and device design. It seems to be easier for them to add the printing competence than the other way round. Additionally we see new material being developed to enable OLED or other functionalities. Looking at printed electronics, the lack of materials that is the real barrier for further adoption.” Paul Heremans, director of imec’s large area electronics department, said that flexible electronics products have already made considerable headway in the market, thanks to mobile phones. “The Galaxy Smartphone series displays are the first products where we see electronics made on plastic that have come out,” said Heremans. “We realize that this is really manufacturable. The display is not printed nor is it flexible, but it is fabricated on a plastic substrate. It announces the field, if you wish, and it is a high end product. This shows that low cost and low margins should not be emphasized.” Dr. Stephan Kirchmeyer, COPT Center, University of Koln, noted that the field has become more mature. “‘Flexible’ displays have appeared on the market. Unfortunately the term ‘flexible’ at present is used in a

National Research Council of Canada (NRC), observed that printed electronics area a good supplement but not an alternative to traditional electronics devices. “In the past few years, the field is becoming much more realistic,” said Dr.Tao.“We went through the hype a few years ago where everyone thought PE could do everything, and now we realize the limitations and advantages and have become more realistic. Now there is more emphasis on hybrid electronics, combining printed and silicon electronics.” “Printable electronics is, of course, not an end in itself, but an enabling technology that compliments traditional siliconbased electronics,” said Steven Bagshaw, business development manager, CPI. “Over the last five years the printed electronics landscape has changed significantly in terms of where demand for the application of the technology is coming from. Whereas previously the emphasis was very much on flexible displays, at CPI we have noticed that market traction is now geared toward the Internet of Things (IoT) and the development of the printed sensors and antennas, which are required to realize this.”

PROMISING MARKETS FOR FLEXIBLE AND PRINTED ELECTRONICS Interestingly, these institutions are finding opportunities in many different fields. “The IoT promises to be one of the most revolutionary technological transformations since the beginning of the Internet, with predictions indicating that more than 50 billion objects will be connected by 2020. This opens up an almost endless list of potential markets,” said Bagshaw. “Printable electronics will help make the IoT a reality and facilitate the 22

20-22 Researchers 1016.indd 22

addition of electronics to everyday items such as packaging, wall paper, flooring and buildings, to name just a few examples. “Here at CPI we are also receiving a lot of enquiries from end users to develop printed electronics applications in the healthcare and pharmaceutical sector by embedding low cost printed sensors, or NFC antennas into the box or packet,” Bagshaw added. “Smart packaging can provide important information about and monitor the conditions a product has been exposed to during its journey through the supply chain. It is also possible to use smart packaging to identify and guard against counterfeiting and third party interference. CPI is working in a project alongside GSK, AstraZeneca and the University of Cambridge to bring smart packaging technologies to market that have the potential to improve medicine manufacturing and supply, offer more personalized, faster and cheaper drug delivery, and drive advances in product quality, affordability and volume flexibility.” “Our research at the Raytheon-UMass Lowell Research Institute (RURI) and PERC is directed at embedding RF/microwave electronics into 3-D objects or on flexible, nonplanar substrates,” Prof. Armiento said. “We integrate printed, wireless components such as antennas with active ICs.” Dr. Willert noted that advertising is a promising market, as are the commodity chains in general. “Having some further functionalities in counterfeiting, detecting products and aspects of the IoT are very promising,” Dr. Willert added, “We think good markets are large area devices like printed solar cells or photodetector arrays for sensors,” Dr. Tao said. “The energy you can harvest is proportional to the surface area. Sensor arrays can help avoid false alarms, as sensitivity is proportional to the surface area.” Dr. Nisato added that there are unique opportunities in organic and printed photovoltaics that are device-based. “At CSEM, we have a varied pipeline of projects,” said Dr. Nisato. “We are working on hybrid electronics, and were recently recognized by ESA for technical work. We are developing printed sensors for consumer health applications, such as monitoring sweat and pH. We have been working on printed PV with the Sunflower EU project.” Researchers believe that the best is yet to come for flexible and printed electronics. “The future of flexible and printed electronics is the multimillion (or billion) dollar question,” Dr. Nisato concluded. “One of the things that I am seeing is that there is an increasing number of industries outside of printed electronics that are waiting to see what products will be available, such as in automotive or consumer electronics, and then they begin to integrate printed electronics into their products. What we can do today is more that what we could do in the past, but we also have to manage expectations to succeed.” n For more information on research institutions, see the online version at www.printedelectronicsnow.com.
