“Biometric” implies the identification or authentication of humans by their traits such as face, fingerprint, voice, iris, palm, DNA, and signature. Biometric authentication has become the most important part of security due to increase in unauthorized immigration, visa frauds, border intrusion, etc. It has increasingly getting deployed at all the security checkpoints of airports, stations, commercial complex, retail malls, etc. Biometric technology provides accurate authentication and negligible margin of duplicity or error.

The 2002 film Minority Report features extensive use of casual Iris/Retina scanning techniques for both personal Identification and Point Of Sale transaction purposes. The main character changes his official Identity by having his eyes transplanted, and later accesses a security system using one of the removed eyes.

The movie Gattaca portrays a society wherein there are two classes of people: those genetically engineered to be superior (termed "Valid") and the inferior natural humans ("Invalid"). People considered "Valid" have greater privileges, and access to areas restricted to such persons is controlled by automated biometric scanners similar in appearance to fingerprint scanners, but which prick the finger and sample DNA from the resulting blood droplet.

This report describes the various types of biometric technology such as face recognition, fingerprint recognition, iris recognition, voice recognition, signature recognition, vein recognition and DNA recognition that are being used for different applications. Out of all the above types, face recognition, fingerprint recognition and iris recognition are commonly used in most of the applications. Fingerprint recognition is the oldest type of biometric authentication and can be seen at banks, ATMs and various government offices.

The report also throws light on the various application areas of biometric technology such as government, banking and finance, travel and immigration, defense, consumer electronics, home security, commercial security, and healthcare. Biometric technology is slowly spreading across all the industries wherever security is of the prime concern. Biometric technology is largely deployed in the application areas like government, travel and immigration, banking and finance, and defense. Government applications cover voting, personal ID, license, building access, etc.; whereas travel and immigration use biometric authentication for border access control, immigration, detection of explosives at the airports, etc. Banking and finance sector use biometric authentication for account access, ATM security, etc.

Global biometric technology-type and applications market is expected to reach $13.89 billion by 2017, at an estimated CAGR of 18.7%. North America is the biometric technology market; followed by Europe and APAC. In ROW, Middle East and Africa are the largest contributors.

Over the last 50 years, industrial robotics’ applications have evolved from simple tasks like “pick and place” to complex functions like welding, glass & metal precision cutting, and assembling & dissembling. In terms of structure, industrial robots progressed from cylindrical co-ordinate frame to flexible multi axis arms, which can function in dynamic environment. Their dependence on human operators still needs innovations to function independently. As the automation of manufacturing processes evolved, so did the industrial robots.

Post 2000, due to increased globalization, drive of modernizing and automating the manufacturing units began in almost all the major industries across the world. The growing demand, competition, and pressure to increase productivity have forced the other non-automotive industries to integrate industrial robotics into their manufacturing facilities. Industrial robotics, being the next step of automation, had a smooth ride during this period, and the global industrial robotics market touched new highs in yearly shipments of robots.

Industrial robotics started its journey with automotive applications; but off late, it has made its way into non-automotive industries’ manufacturing facilities as well. As the employers struggle to find skilled people to fill positions, robots can help to shift the human resources out of jobs that do not use their ability to the fullest. Industrial robots have proven to deliver a host of benefits in a wide variety of applications like welding & soldering, handling of materials and processing, assembling & disassembling, dispensing and painting, cutting, milling and other processing, and the other functions. The most articulated robots perform by storing a series of positions in memory, and moving to them at various times in their programming sequence. Vision guidance (aka machine vision) is bringing a lot of flexibility to robotic cells.

The misconception among employee unions of increasing unemployment with the installation of industrial robotics in manufacturing facility is due to lack of awareness, inaccurate cost justification given by management of companies, and constant additional training costs.

Outside of Japan, Western Europe and North America, the robotics industry is at fruitful ground for growth from 2012 onwards, led by growing economies like South Korea, China, India, and Brazil.

The Industrial Wireless Sensor Networks (IWSN) Market for Manufacturing & Process Control Automation market is expected to grow from $1.610 billion in 2011 to $3.795 billion in 2017, at a CAGR of 15.58% from 2012 to 2017. The key companies with respect to Industrial Wireless Sensor Networks (IWSN) Market for Manufacturing & Process Control Automation include Emerson (U.S.), GE Energy (U.S.), Honeywell (U.S.), ABB (Switzerland), Endress+Hauser (Switzerland), Siemens (Germany), Yokogawa (Japan), Yamatake (Japan), Invensys (U.K.), Mitsubishi (Japan), and others.

Due to the rise in demand for wireless sensor networks in recent times, significant shift is observed from traditional, wired technologies to upcoming wireless technologies. Asia-Pacific is expected to grow at the highest rate due to increase in production activities in APAC, huge population base, and lucrative government policies. China is, in fact, the growth engine for automation in Asia-Pacific; in spite of lower levels of plant automation. India is also gaining market shares worldwide.

The WSN consists of "nodes" – from a few to several hundreds or even thousands, where each node is connected to one (or sometimes several) sensor. Each such sensor network node has typically several parts: a radio transceiver with an internal antenna or connection to an external antenna, a microcontroller, an electronic circuit for interfacing with the sensors and an energy source, usually a battery or an embedded form of energy harvesting. A sensor node might vary in size from that of a shoebox down to the size of a grain of dust, although functioning "motes" of genuine microscopic dimensions are yet to be created. The cost of sensor nodes is similarly variable, ranging from a few to hundreds of dollars, depending on the complexity of the individual sensor nodes. Size and cost constraints on sensor nodes result in corresponding constraints on resources such as energy, memory, computational speed, and communications bandwidth. The topology of the WSNs can vary from a simple star network to an advanced multi-hop wireless mesh network. The propagation technique between the hops of the network can be routing or flooding.

The major technologies used in IWSN market are WirelessHART, ISA100.11a, 6loWPAN, Proprietary, other technologies such as IEEE 802.11, ZigBee, Bluetooth, GPRS, GSM, and CDMA. The WirelessHART standard is widely spread in the industrial sector. Nearly 70% of process control automation installed globally uses WirelessHART standard. The IWSN market has developed rapidly in Americas (till date), particularly in the U.S. than in Asia-Pacific, Europe, and Rest of the World due to the heavy funding available there in U.S.
