Session 1 - Internet of Things: Challenges and Opportunities
13h00 - 13h30 Designing connected systems for the IoT
Avner Goren, Texas Instruments
The Internet of Things (IoT) is increasing the need for cloud connected nodes and gateways. However,
there are several things that need to be considered when developing nodes and gateways including
sensing technology, connectivity options, power management, security and selecting a cloud service
provider. This presentation will discuss these considerations and how technology innovations are mak-
ing it easier to develop applications for the IoT spanning industrial, automotive, home and building
automation and more.
Session 2 - ARM-based Microcontrollers, FPGAs & SoCs
15h00 - 15h30 Intelligent system solutions with flexible microcontroller system
Harald Friedrich, EBV
The combination of Cortex-A9 Micro-Processors together with the scalable FPGA area in Altera’s SoC
devices enable the design of powerful and cost efficient system solutions.
15h30 - 16h00 Connectivity in the Industrial world
Arnon Friedmann, Texas Instruments
Factory automation is increasingly moving to Fieldbus protocols to enable more robust communication
and control throughout modern manufacturing plants. These new networks allow increased function-
ality while providing higher reliability, safety, and ease-of-use. One challenge to this paradigm switch
is the large number of different network protocols currently in use throughout the industry. In this talk
we will discuss these challenges and show how Texas Instruments’ embedded processors are ready to
enable the connected factory.

Session 3 - Starter-Kits and Reference Designs
This Session is presented by Mouser Electronics
11h00 - 11h05 Introduction
Mark Burr-Lonnon, Mouser
11h05 - 11h30 MultiSIM Blue
Raymond Yin, Mouser
MultiSIM BLUE is a powerful circuit design platform from Mouser Electronics, in partnership with
National Instruments, that integrates schematic capture, simulation, PCB layout, and innovative „BOM
to cart“ features. This session will introduce attendees to MultiSIM BLUE as well as showing how it
works together with other areas of the Mouser website to help reduce an engineer‘s time to market.
11h30 - 12h00 Architecting System Solutions to Solve Customer Problems - TI Designs
Ajinder Singh, Texas Instruments
In this talk I will present examples of TI Designs covering wide variety of areas within Industrial Seg-
ment that are helping our customers evaluate TI Products. TI Designs is a great tool and resource that
combines differentiated TI products - from embedded processors to analog signal chain to power man-
agement to logic and connectivity and provides a subsystem solution which can help in the R&D efforts
of our customers.
