Printed and organic electronics is an innovative technology for producing sensors based on conductive inks and functional materials.These sensors deliver data into the cloud and are a relevant cornerstone for the application areas Industry 4.0 and the internet of things. Compared to conventional microelectronics, printed electronics are characterised by simpler more flexible and above all, more cost effective production, can be designed on a large scale and are less than one millimeter thin, Further advantage are the energy-efficient production method, due to the resource-saving use of materials. This aspect and industrial series production stand for consistent quality in large quantities at relatively low costs and are important preconditions for success in international competition. Printed electronics are already in use in many industries such as the automotive industry, consumer electronics , household appliances, pharmaceuticals and health care.
