Joint Panel: Precision Versus Price-Point: Core Driver of the Sensing Domain

Thursday, 24 July 08:00 - 09:30

International I, II

Domain experts from AIS, Sensors, and QSM topicals discuss the major metrics in the sensing domain and what trends are to follow. They will discuss the deployability and practicality of some of these advanced sensing approaches. Some questions that will be addresses may include:

  1. Will the pricey, but highly precise quantum or plasmonic sensors dominate the industry in the future?
  2. Will the cheaper and compact fiber sensors, or traditional means like Raman, fluorescence etc. proliferate faster?
  3. Will lateral techniques, such as, fusion sensing, cross-correlation or AI/ML data analytics become the game changer?
