Exhibition Highlights
The
Wireless Congress
: Systems & Applica-
tions revolves around wireless technologies
for industrial use. The congress addresses
developers, system designers and those
responsible for wireless systems and focuses
on technology trends, security aspects
and certification and licensing issues. The
conference takes place at the ICM – Inter-
nationales Congress Center München on
November 10 and 11.
They could be the electronics professionals
or corporations of the future:
High-school
and college students, potential founders
and successful start-ups
. To encourage them,
electronica’s supporting program has events
such as Student Day and the electronica Fast
Forward start-up platform that are tailored
specifically to young people’s and new com-
panies’ needs. They give start-ups and aspir-
ing founders a chance to present their ideas
and projects, and experts will be on hand at
the fair to support them. For example, other
founders will share their experiences, and
business angels and investors will give them
valuable tips. And it all culminates in the elec-
tronica Fast Forward Award.

Silicon Labs: smart home connectivity
and wireless sensing
Silicon Labs will demonstrate its latest embed-
ded and wireless sensing innovations for the
Internet of Things. Silicon Labs will show-
case a comprehensive home automation
mesh network, enabling smart home con-
nectivity without complexity and will also
unveil a Bluetooth-enabled biometric sens-
ing wearable design based on its latest Blue-
tooth low energy system-in-package module.
Discover how to create Bluetooth-enabled
wearable heart rate measurement devices, fea-
turing Silicon Labs’ best-in-class optical sen-
sors, advanced HRM algorithm, Bluetooth
low-energy wireless stack, and the company’s
latest Blue Gecko module providing a com-
plete Bluetooth connectivity solution includ-
ing the antenna in an ultra-small form factor.
Sensirion exhibits sensor portfolio
Sensirion will exhibit new and refined sensor
solutions for measurement of humidity and
temperature, differential pressure, as well as
gas and liquid flow. Sensirion is expanding its
environmental sensors portfolio and focusing
on key environmental indicators for measure-
ment of indoor air quality. The monitoring of
indoor air quality improves people’s health
and comfort, while simultaneously enabling
optimal energy efficiency – and thus new
possibilities in the development of smart air
quality devices. The new SHTW2 humidity
sensor comes in a flip chip package – an estab-
lished technology that represents one of the
simplest and smallest methods of packaging
a semiconductor chip, resulting in a tiny foot-
print of 1.3 x 0.7 x 0.5 mm3. The SHTW2 also
pioneers a new category of ultra-small humid-
ity sensors suitable for applications with the
tightest space constraints.
Würth: components and services for
electronics of the future
Würth Elektronik eiSos is appearing at elec-
tronica 2016 together with its subsidiaries
Würth Elektronik iBE and Wurth Electronics
Midcom. With a Formula E racing car and the
motto “WE speed up the future“, the manu-
facturer of electronic and electromechanical
components showcases its broad spectrum
of products on twelve themed islands. On
twelve Design & Solutions Islands, experts
unveil innovative product and system solu-
tions, reference designs and the REDEXPERT
simulation software, with which engineers
in electronic companies can quickly and
easily find the suitable component for their
application. The component selection assis-
tant from the REDEXPERT tool is not only
based on simulations, but also on extensive
measurement series in typical applications
and therefore delivers more accurate results.
Other themed islands are devoted to EMC
and inductive automotive products from
Würth Elektronik iBE, the custom capabili-
ties of Wurth Electronics Midcom, electro-
mechanical components, LED solutions and
the themes of Internet of Things & Wireless
Communication. Furthermore, important
future themes like E-Mobility, Wireless Power,
Energy Harvesting, as well as Power Manage-
ment Solutions will be presented.
Avnet Silica: advanced solutions for the
IoT and automotive development
Avnet Silica will showcase its advanced solu-
tions for the Internet of Things and auto-
motive development. Three demonstrations
highlight the power and flexibility of its Vis-
ible Things IoT platform, which delivers rich
functionality from edge to enterprise with
outstanding cost, power and size specifica-
tions. Leading-edge features of Visible Things
include embedded vision, security, cognitive
analytics and application-specific elements
aimed at industrial markets. On show for the
first time will be a brand new gateway product
focused on the industrial space, and a unique
security architecture that delivers true enter-
prise-grade security from the IP network core
all the way to smart sensor configurations at
the network edge – including low-power non-
IP-based sensors. The third demonstration,
an embedded vision system, combines image
capture from low-cost non-intelligent sensors
with high-end cognitive analytics in the cloud,
to deliver a unique combination of real-time
analysis and long-term business intelligence.
Featured in the automotive area, Avnet Sili-
ca’s automotive offering encompasses a broad
range of solutions from both established
market leaders and technology pioneers –
including gesture control, embedded vision,
in-vehicle networking, and gateway products.
The company’s uniquely comprehensive line-
card made for an unrivalled capability to sup-
port customers in the increasingly complex
automotive landscape.
