Industry Workshop
Sensing Technologies and Analysis of Sensor Data

6 July 2023, Empa Dübendorf (Akademie)

---

This workshop aims to foster the exchange and collaboration between Swiss research groups and companies that are active in the domain of sensors. Representatives from industry learn about new cutting-edge sensing technologies that can provide them a competitive advantage in the future. On the other side, researchers learn about challenges that Swiss companies are currently facing and for which they seek innovative solutions.

Session Topics

This workshop covers two important aspects of sensors:

SENSING TECHNOLOGIES
This aspect covers all technology building blocks that need to interplay to manufacture sensors: materials, processes and equipment as well as sensing products for specific applications.

ANALYSIS OF SENSOR DATA
This aspect covers the use and the interpretation of sensor data, in particular for the monitoring and control of production processes. This includes machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI).

RESEARCH OFFERINGS (TECHNOLOGY PUSH)
Researchers present the results of technology development projects that are associated with sensing technology and analysis of sensor data in the field of advanced manufacturing. They will demonstrate how their project results can be used in industrial applications.

EXHIBITION
Researchers that presented during the technology push are available at an exhibition booth. Here, they provide more information on posters and show possible demonstrators. They can be approached by interested industry partners and are available for further discussion.

INDUSTRY CHALLENGES (MARKET PULL)
Representatives from industry present a challenge they are currently facing, and requirements for an ideal solution. They may also cover previous and present solutions to facilitate goal-oriented discussions.

MATCHMAKING MEETINGS
Participants have the opportunity to meet other participants for one-on-one discussions. Participants will be provided with a list of all participants and they can indicate who they want to have a chat with. The final matchmaking schedule will be provided by the organizers of the workshop.

Registration Information

If you want to pitch a technology (researcher) or a challenge (industry partner), please contact Dr. Lars Sommerhäuser.

Registration for participants without a presentation opens in May 2023.

Participation in the workshop is free of charge.

Information on NDAs

We refrain from using nondisclosure agreements (NDAs) during this workshop. The purpose of this workshop is to meet potential collaborators and have initial discussions. The matchmaking can be used to create a surface understanding of an issue and whether it is useful to pursue a collaboration. Detailed follow-up discussions that require an NDA can take place after this event.

This workshop is supported by the ENRICH Sensor Group.
