Transfer of know-how – Added value for your company

One of three pillars in the automotive sector at electronica – the automotive Forum in Hall A6
 
To round out the exhibition and the conference, the Forum featured exciting panel discussions on all 4 days of the fair. Under the heading "How do cars get their electricity?", topics such as plug systems for charging batteries, inductive charging and battery-changing systems were on the agenda. When it comes to "Key components for the electric automobile", the forum also focused on power electronics, batteries, drive systems/motors and high-voltage connectors.

The program of events was rounded out by the "AUTOSAR Autumn Release News"  as well as lectures on "Robustness Validation", "Traceability" and "ISO 6201". The forum was organized again in conjunction with the ZVEI.

Showcasing key technologies and applications

The response in 2010 proved it again: the embedded Forum, which examined the latest hot topics, met with a great deal of interest. Together with our partner ICC Media, the Forum – located in the middle of Hall A6 – was currently full of life.






Highlights of the embedded forum 2010:

• Windows Embedded Standard and Windows Embedded Compact 7: Microsoft and its partners showed how systems based on Windows Embedded 7 are being developed and present solutions for vertical markets

• Motor control: key factors for improved energy efficiency and lower system costs

•  Small form factor boards: significant trends and key factors—a look at how embedded boards with smaller dimensions can be developed using smaller ICs that use less energy

• Other presentations: RTOS, software development and embedded connectivity

While other forums generally focus on specific themes, the electronica Forum  covered a selection of the most important development and technology fields such as MEMS, medical electronics, wireless, organic electronics and photovoltaics. 


Highlights in the electronica Forum 2010:

• CEO Roundtable - Topic: “What have companies learned from the crisis?”

• “MEMS in Consumer Electronics” - Panel discussion and participant presentations
  Discussion leader: Jérémie Bouchaud, iSuppli Deutschland GmbH
  

• Working World Electronics 2020 - Opportunity or Risk? - Roundtable discussion (Moderator: Ms. Demmer, “Süddeutsche Zeitung”)

• Future Professionals Day for high-school seniors

• Organic Electronics

Once again, the ZVEI Forum featured a wide range of interesting topics.

Experts in the sectors for

• connectors
• passive/active components
• PCBs and semiconductors.

 
The Traceability Working Group, which released the "Traceability and Identification in the Electrical Engineering and Electronics Industry" Guide at productronica 2009, reported on its experiences working with this established process in actual practice.
 
The topic of energy efficiency was also a main theme. The use of existing electrical-engineering technology, the latest electronic components and modern lighting technology in the private and industrial sectors can already be used to make massive reductions in CO2 emissions.
 
There was be a "Market Session" to present market figures and statistics for electrical engineering and electronics and to take a look into the future.
 
The ZVEI's "Superstudium.de" initiative is now an established part of the fair. As always, it gave young German students a chance to gather information about careers in electrical engineering and electronics.


Further Highlights in the ZVEI Forum 2010:

• Passive components
• PCBs/electronic components (market overview and EMS services)
• Environmental topics
• Market access (UL, TÜV, VDE)
