build resilience and agility. Intelligent tags in car manufacturing When car manufacturers embedded intelligent tags into the majority of their components, temperature, vibration, and other essential data can be harvested throughout the life-cycle of a car. The interrogation of fuzzy Bayesian network ontologies would enable the identification and prediction of faulty components that could be replaced and re-engineered to ensure greater reliability. The ontologies could also determine the genres of cars that need to be recalled - given driving history - thus lowering recall costs and enhancing the consumer experience. UK government perspective and industry need There is an industry need for trained engineers in electronics systems as further growth is striven for within the UK, as delineated in the recently published “Electronics Systems: Challenges and Opportunities” (ESCO Report). This report has brought industry leaders and government together to deliver ambitious growth targets that by 2020 will see a further 150,000 people employed in electronic systems, such as those this CDT aims to provide. The report states that the critical shortages in highly trained and skilled employees can be addressed in part by the provision of Centers of Doctoral Training (CDTs) to fund and train PhD students. The Technology Strategy Board's (TSB) High-Value Manufacturing study also identified strategic themes of “Creating innovative products, through the integration of new materials, coatings, and electronics with new manufacturing technologies” and “Increasing the global competitiveness of UK manufacturing technologies by creating more efficient and effective manufacturing systems”. The report identified the need for National Competencies, including “Intelligent systems and embedded electronics”. Additionally through the “Electronics, Photonics and Electrical Systems: Key technology area 2008-2011” report, the TSB are promoting Embedded Systems as a technology that the UK has the high capability and high market potential. Within Europe, there is significant investment being made through the ENIAC, Artemis, and EPoSS programs that are set to continue into Horizon 2020 and will see close to €5Billion invested over 7 years. The recent Strategic Research Agenda in Smart Systems Integration of the European Technology Platform EPoSS also identified Embedded Intelligence as the key enabler in the design and manufacturing of complex products and services. Predicted revenue While it is relatively immature as a technology, the Internet of Things is likely to see the number of connected objects reach 50 billion by 2020. The integration of embedded processors with sensors, intelligence, wireless connectivity and other components with high level
