BRIDG the Gap

B创新与开发之间的探讨,推动新技术经济

建立重要的东西. Something meaningful. Something transformative. These are the dreams that started most engineers down the path toward their chosen careers. And it is exactly the thing that’s drawing the eyes of the world to Central Florida and the International Consortium for Advanced Manufacturing Research (ICAMR), now known as BRIDG, as smart sensor technology begins to drive a significant part of the world’s economy.

ICAMR正在建立一个Bridg

Let me explain. In development of industry, there is a traditional gap between the people who research and create the technology that makes something possible and the industrial vision for using that technology in products that need to be manufactured.

先进的制造 - 使用新兴技术的设计和建筑产品,需要高科技,受过教育的专家制造人才生产。

Traditionally, there is a design, develop, sell progression. Take the fashion industry as an example. First, you design the dress, then you manufacture the dress, and finally, you take the dress to market in your store, throughout your chain, on your website. And you make the economic choices that make the most sense along the way. This is one of the reasons so much of the American manufacturing base has been drawn overseas in some industries in the past generation. In some cases, manufacturing and shipping costs are far lower than the cost of producing things in America.

High technology, however, has several very different challenges. Often, as in the case of smart sensor technology, the cost of developing specific tools and technology that operate on silicon wafers is excessively high. And much of the work developing that technology is being done in university lab settings, often without specific industry application in mind.

另一方面,行业对某些技术具有非常具体的需求,但往往不能或不想员工在内部的研发团队解决行业的技术问题。

这是Bridg进来的地方。Bridg,或弥合发展差距的创新,是联盟抢劫的使命。它是他们合作链接的使命与制造那些制造研究的人的人,这些使命与自动驾驶汽车,衡量农业活动的无人机以及控制家庭或办公环境远程或自动控制的系统。这是事情的互联网和一切都改变了人类与世界互动的方式。Bridg是一款独特的创新交流,旨在加快新兴技术的制造业发展,以燃料促进明天的新兴技术。

很容易将这种声明视为夸张,但事实是技术开发正在击中危重质量的点,而且说不断发展的传感器技术 - 以及先进的制造能力将该技术转化为日常使用 -从根本上改变人类在未来几年内与世界各个方面互动的方式。

Sensors are those tiny technological devices that allow you to interact naturally with things like the touch screen on your phone or tablet. From self-driving cars, to buildings that optimize their environments automatically based on the position of the sun, to wearable devices that monitor heart rate, blood chemistry, temperature and more to smart parking, smart traffic management, smart waste management, smart roads and cities; the capability of applying smart sensors to human living is already transforming the world we live in and the way we live in it. The technology in development now is on track to become a disruptive force in virtually every industry value chain that delivers a product or service to anyone, anywhere.

BRIDG CEO Chester Kennedy says the speed of change in the sensors industry is fast approaching a tipping point. “Advanced smart sensors are going to fundamentally change everything we do in our lives in the next five to seven years,” Kennedy said. “And we are at the center of it all.”

BRIDG is an industry-led consortium for advanced sensors, optics and photonics, and other advanced device manufacturing opportunities such as 2.5/3D heterogeneous packaging. It focuses on the development of innovative manufactural processes, materials, and equipment for advanced smart sensors and other future high-tech products. BRIDG is initially targeting the mega-growth technologies that will lead to over 50 billion smart sensors and imagers that will be connected by the beginning of the next decade transforming the way humans interact with the world every day.

World employees, the most obvious question Kennedy gets is “why here?” Why look to build a high-technology advanced manufacturing facility out in the middle of the old Judge Farm property, now known as Neo City.

For Kennedy, it’s a one-word answer: jobs.

“Our measure of success is enabling businesses to create large numbers of jobs in the region,” he says, simply.

“Our objective is to have businesses make money off of our infrastructure,” Kennedy says. “That’s how they create jobs. I don’t want businesses to be shy about the fact that they’re trying to make money on the technology.”

While BRIDG itself is expected to account for more than 100 high-paying, high-technology jobs ($82,000/year average), as the consortium attracts industry members and partners to the area such as current member Melbourne-based Harris Corporation, the impact on high-tech jobs is expected to number between 10,000 and 20,000 with a multiplier effect of up to 80,000 or more total jobs across the region.

In Osceola, BRIDG is uniquely poised to identify Central Florida as a global advanced manufacturing hub that will play a significant role in the way the entire world develops into the coming decades.
