1 min read
A specialist in the design and manufacture of printed electronics has been awarded contracts for the development of printed sensors.
With continuous, roll to roll production, Soligie says it can manufacture extremely high volumes of sensors and plans to expand its equipment set to target low to mid volume production orders.
Matt Timm, the firm's president says that prototypes are currently under evaluation by multiple customers and will be considered for volume production in 2011 and 2012.
Multiple, integrated and printed components on a single substrate remains a goal for the printed electronics industry and Timm described the company as the market leader. It is currently engaged in development programs for printed pressure and temperature sensors as well as strain gauges, biomedical sensors and electrodes.
Soligie says printed electronics can provide significant value to sensor based products. "The sensor market continues to see significant growth and the availability of sensors in new form factors creates opportunities for our customers. These new form factors are made possible by printed electronics and Soligie is well positioned as a design and manufacturing services provider for those companies who are looking to introduce new products."
