Exhibition Highlights
On the afternoon of November 8, everything at the electronica Forum
will revolve around
wearables and healthcare
. While the panel discus-
sion on “Wearables for Health: Components for Digital Medicine” will
explore the demands that wearables are placing on electronic components,
Prof. Markus Haid from TU Darmstadt will explain how inertial sensors
can help elderly people in assisted living facilities. Lectures on topics such
as “Printed Electronics: Key Enabling Technology for Healthcare and
Wearables” and “Mechatronic Solutions for People with Disabilities and
the Cybathlon” are also on the agenda.
Whether it comes to design, component cleanliness or supply-chain
management, the
PCB & Components Marketplace
is an important
gathering for the PCB, components and EMS industry. ZVEI (Ger-
man Electrical and Electronic Manufacturers’ Association) member
countries will report on their latest solutions and products—from
sensors and microsystem technology to interconnection technology.
The technical information they provide will be rounded out by mar-
ket data and development scenarios. The PCB & Components Mar-
ketplace takes place in Hall B4 on all four days of the fair.
The
Exhibitor Forum
gives companies a chance to present their latest
product news, developments and services in compact, half-hour lec-
tures in Hall B5. From PCBs & EMS on November 8 to sensor tech-
nology and power supplies on November 9 to passive components
on November 11: Each day focuses on a different branch of industry.
Start-ups provide important impetus for economic and employ-
ment growth. But they often face major challenges when it comes
to finding the right partner for their own ideas or securing financ-
ing. Organized in conjunction with “Elektor” magazine, the
elec-
tronica Start-up Platform
gives the fair a new forum that brings
the concentrated innovative strength and solution expertise of
start-ups together with interested industries at a single location.
From electromobility and power electronics to connectivity in the
future: The electronica
Automotive Conference
at the ICM – Inter-
nationales Congress Center München on November 7 will allow par-
ticipants to gather information about future-oriented technologies in
the automotive industry. This year’s conference will focus on topics
such as safety, autonomous driving and interior electronics. It will
include lectures on automotive software updates and 360-degree sur-
round-sensing technologies and their relevance to safety.
The electronica
Automotive Forum
, which takes place in Hall A6
on all four days of the fair, rounds out the conference perfectly. Can
piloted driving become a reality in the next few years, and will laser
light assert itself in motor vehicles? Experts will discuss the latest hot
topics at the Automotive Forum. Whether sales engineers, electron-
ics developers or supply-chain managers: Innovative solutions will be
presented to everyone involved in automotive development process
at the Forum.
IT2Industry
, the International Trade Fair and Open Conference
for Intelligent, Digitally Networked Working Environments, will be
embedded in electronica for the second time in 2016. The program
of this accompanying conference includes current case studies and
innovative solution approaches. IT2Industry is being held in the
West Entrance at the same time as electronica. The perfect comple-
ment to the conference is the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)
Forum, which takes place at the electronica Forum on November
8. It gives experts a chance to examine questions about hardware,
software, security and data transmission in the context of industrial
applications. For example, they will discuss the differences between
currently available microprocessors and explain which wireless
transmission media meet the latest requirements.
