When I was still at NIST (claiming no credit, I was in a different line of work than the manufacturing engineering guys), major sensor-technology themes included detection of tool breakage and other faults, predictive maintenance, as well as active compensation for toolwear, differential thermal expansion, machine characteristics, etc. Google is your friend. And, I agree, the resulting tools are very cool. They contribute directly to quality and productivity.
