There is great enthusiasm for the E&A fair from September 26 to 28! Together with the exhibitors, we also shape the seminar program and the projects of the fair. During the seminars, experts share their experiences and knowledge with visitors, so that they not only come to the fair to visit the exhibitors, but are also updated about the latest themes, possibilities and challenges in our market.
A great way to make targeted contact with visitors to the fair. After all, there is already interest in the theme! There is still room to give a presentation in six seminars.
- E-Mobility
- Industrial Design
- Embedded Software Design
- Design for Circularity
- Supply Chain/ Obsolescence management
- Searching for and retaining technical personnel
E-Mobility
The electrification of vehicles is experiencing enormous growth. Electronics (hardware and software) play an essential role in this. What are the current challenges in the e-mobility market and how can we solve/improve them through hardware (think of batteries/power electronics) and software developments?
Industrial Design
During this seminar we inform interested parties about the possibilities and challenges when designing products, devices or machines that can be concretely applied in industry. Topics that may be discussed include: User Interface Design, HMI and housings. The seminar is interesting for product designers, electronics developers, software and hardware manufacturers/suppliers.
Embedded Software Design
This seminar informs engineers and users of embedded software about the possibilities and challenges in the design of (embedded) software for products, devices or machines. The software largely determines the functionality of products. Important issues may include: How do I keep this software up-to-date remotely and what about traceability, lifespan, reliability and quality management?
Design for Circularity
Partly due to the current scarcity of materials and raw materials, circular design is more relevant than ever. Design for circularity contributes to extending the life cycle of products so that they need to be replaced less quickly. Another important aspect is the reuse and (possible) transformation of the raw materials when the product has reached the end of its lifespan. When designing a product, it is also important to use sustainable materials/raw materials. How we, as an electronics industry, can contribute to the circular economy is the subject of this seminar.
Supply Chain/ Obsolescence management
In the current component shortage, these topics are more crucial than ever. Supply chain management is about strategically coordinating supply chains. Good cooperation with partners, both within and outside the chain, is essential. When the components of a product are no longer available, or have extremely long delivery times, the search begins for a replacement component with the same functionalities and specifications (obsolescence management). In addition to components, obsolescence management also applies to software, materials and processes. Obsolescence management and supply chain management limit risks and increase the profitability of a product.
Finding and retaining technical personnel
It is common knowledge that many companies are looking for technical personnel. Vacancies often remain open for a long time, the influx of technicians from schools and universities is limited and in certain regions the problem is even more urgent due to an increased demand for (high) tech companies. Personnel is extremely important to maintain/improve our competitive position in the Benelux. In this seminar we look at options and tools for companies in the field of internal training, retraining and referral recruitment, and we make a link to schools/universities with the aim of finding and retaining staff.
Are you interested in being involved in the above seminars? Please contact Marc Berkouwer, so that you can be informed about a date for the next meeting.
It is possible to express your interest in Internet of Things, Hardware Design and Electronics Production, but these titles are currently full.
We would like to hear at which seminar you can contribute or would like to think about the content!
