Application/Market Trends Where will we see the largest growth in MEMS & sensors? ► IoT Applications  mHealth  AgTech  Smart global infrastructure  Clean environment and clean energy  Emerging energy harvesting

Sensor-to-Cloud Processing Pipelines End-to-end sensor-to-cloud systems sensing processing comms cloud analytics Example: large-scale distributed anomaly detection Apps Processing Analytics Gateway Connectivity 11

Where’s the $$ in MEMS?

And now for something a bit different……. 13

What’s the matter with tomatoes sold in Boston? Other than not being local ?

What’s the matter with tomatoes sold in Boston? They taste like chalk …

What’s the matter with tomatoes sold in Boston? …because they’re grown industrially as little green golf balls …

What’s the matter with tomatoes sold in Boston? … and low-tech ethylene gas is applied on the way to Boston.

Tomatoes are imported from weird places. California has no water

Tomatoes are imported from weird places. Florida has no soil

Tomatoes are imported from weird places. Other tomato regions of the world have dubious labor and environmental practices

There are 7,755 farms in Massachusetts 523,000 acres produce $492 million in agricultural products Average farm produces $63,470 of agricultural products on just 68 acres. Unfortunately for local Tomato producers, that’s a lot of Ketchup!

We want more locally-produced tomatoes! Brian M. Donohue The goal: Associate Professor of American Environmental Studies produce Brandeis University 50% of our tomatoes within New England by 2060

We want more locally-produced tomatoes! This requires supporting the success and growth of local tomato farmers

Welcome to the Internet of Tomatoes Project! Goal: Reconcile Productivity and Taste PRODUCTIVITY  No disease TASTE  Maximum yield  Sweet  Right water  Acid  Right heat  Low water content  Right soil  Salt  Right light  When to harvest HEALTHY SAFE  Lycopene  Minimize chemicals
