2. Meaning: • Sensors are vital for intelligent processing. • All focus areas are subject to monitoring needs, often with competing requirements for time response or location of sensors. Sensors play a critical role in the development and implementation of advanced and new unit processes. • Today many sensors are selected for use in unit processes on the basis of their reliability and low cost, not because they measure parameters that are fundamental to the material being processed.

3. Importance: Sensors are vital for intelligent processing. The requirement for improved sensor systems for process monitoring and control will become increasingly important as more-complex processes are developed for small-quantity production of precise and expensive components made of advanced materials. Because research on process modeling and material characterization cannot remove all uncertainty in the manufacturability of advanced work pieces, sensors will always be necessary for successful production. The adoption of sensor technology can make viable those unit processes that are inherently so complex or unstable that they demand continuous monitoring and control to ensure acceptable yields.

4. Key aspects of sensor technology to be emphasized for R&D include: Sensor systems with digital architectures readily integratable with machine controllers; intelligent sensor systems that employ advanced sensor fusion and feature extraction techniques for reliable process-state determination and diagnostic decision making; process-specific sensor developments that address the need to monitor aspects of all five process components new sensor materials and techniques capable of monitoring nontraditional processes and the processing of nontraditional materials; exploitation of sensor technology that was developed for applications other than unit manufacturing processes
