MEMS Industry Group lists speakers for Copenhagen event
The industry body has chosen the theme of the role of MEMS and sensors in the Internet of Things, Internet of Everything (IoT/E) for this year’s congress. With forecasts of tens of billions of Internet-connected devices within a few years and with most of these being platforms for multiple sensors there is great market opportunity.
“From accelerometers, gyroscopes, microphones, pressure sensors and magnetometers to temperature, humidity and optical sensors, MEMS and sensors proliferate in IoT/E devices,” said Karen Lightman, executive director of the MEMS Industry Group, in a statement. "European companies and research organizations are at the forefront of developing the MEMS and sensors used in the IoT/E. At the same time, they are leveraging the vast data collected by IoT/E devices to improve the user experience with mobile phones, health and fitness devices, cars, smart factories and more."
Keynote talks are scheduled from Franz Laermer, vice president of corporate sector research and advanced engineering for microsystems technologies at Robert Bosch GmbH and Claus Nielsen, business development manager for health and care technologies at Delta Electronics. Laermer will talk on Deep Reactive Ion Etching (DRIE), a process he co-invented and which has been a foundation of the MEMS industry. Nielsen will talk about mobile health or mHealth and new business models.
Other speakers include John Fitzpatrick, engineering manager with Autoliv; Roland Helm, segment head for sensors at Infineon Technologies AG; Simone Severi, R&D team leader at IMEC, Jaako Sormunen, European sales manager at Okmetic Oyj and Jean Marc Yannou, senior director of technology strategies for ASE Europe.
The program includes two panels and market research presentations from Jeremie Bouchaud, senior principal analyst for MEMS and sensors at IHS and Jean-Christoph Eloy, CEO of Yole Developpement.
