This project is targeting on the development of a system on flexible substrate by utilizing inkjet printing, screen printing and mixed design procedures. Sensing of parameters such as humidity, leakages, temperature, pressure and gas – liquid flow on challenging spots of interest such as pipelines that rigid electronics cannot be installed onto, will drastically improve the monitoring resolution of machines’ operating circles that depend on such parameters. The proposed system will provide data to the machines’ actuators, insights to the user and profiles directly back to R&D in order to further optimize efficiency both on operating and on design – engineering level. Major tasks of this project include experimental evaluation of substrates, printable materials and sintering techniques, modes and methods of sensing, implementation of readout electronics to provide compatibility with existing interfaces and study of packaging – installation.
