SEMICON West 2016

World of IoT: From Sensors to Automation—IoT Enbabled Smart Manufacturing (Room North Hall, Innovation and IoT Theater)

2:00–3:00pm  MEMS and Sensors  

Industry consensus is that the Internet of Things (IoT) will require billions of microelectromechanical system (MEMS) devices and sensors to achieve the ubiquitous implementation of the smart and connected infrastructures necessary to create smart cities, smart homes, smart health, smart manufacturing, and more. In this session product and technology experts from MEMS and sensor companies will present their solutions and perspectives to achieve IoT enabled Smart Manufacturing and the Connected Enterprise for the semiconductor and electronics industries.

3:00–4:00pm  Robotics and Automation

According to a 2015 survey of about 200 automation executives conducted by Morgan Stanley and Automation World magazine, improving operational efficiency and productivity are the most critical business drivers among manufacturers adopting the Industrial IoT. New advances in sensors, autonomous actuators, sophisticated software, communication gateways, security, and ‘big data platforms’ is raising the factory’s overall ‘intelligence’ providing for next generation robotics and automation to deliver IoT enhanced ‘smart manufacturing’. In this segment, leading Robotics and Automation product and automation experts will present their solutions and perspectives to achieve the IoT enabled Smart Manufacturing and the Connected Enterprise for the semiconductor and electronics industries.
