The Missing Piece of Smart Things Manufacturing

Remember our vision of 3D printing smart shipping boxes and supply chain sensors at any corner store earlier this week? One underlying technology that can make it possible are new chips that think like the human brain.
Neuromorphic edge chips are now so small and efficient they can be embedded anywhere. We're talking tiny 1-milliwatt processors that work like our brains do—100x faster processing and 500x lower energy consumption.
Companies like BrainChip and SynSense are developing these today. While not ready for any old box yet, they're rapidly approaching the point where intelligence becomes as standard as plastic in manufacturing.
What becomes possible when 1-milliwatt intelligence gets embedded anywhere?

Smart packaging on pallets that knows when something's wrong

Product-level monitoring with chips smart enough to detect issues

Equipment sensors that understand their environment and alert you instantly

Connected intelligence in boxes, products, even intelligent documents
Here's the breakthrough:

These chips literally work like our brains do—they only activate when something happens. Smart enough to understand when something's wrong, connected enough to let you know instantly.

Brain-inspired processing that mimics human neurons

1-milliwatt power - operates for months on minimal energy

Microscopic size - getting small enough for embedding anywhere

Incredible economics - intelligence approaching the cost of a sticker
Imagine designing things by specifying not just shape and material, but exactly where to place micro-intelligence during printing. Every object emerges already smart, already connected.
What becomes possible when intelligence is built into the manufacturing process?

The answer is reshaping entire industries—and we're just getting started.
