The IEEE Industrial Electronics Society (IES) presents an Industry Forum where the South Africa Industry can network and take part in discussions on vital topics for South Africa.
DATE: 27 February 2013
TIME: 10h00 to 17h00
VENUE: Pavilion Clock Tower Conf Centre, V&A Waterfront, Cape Town
International and local speakers will make presentations on the role of industrial electronic technologies in the areas listed below.
Power: Industrial electronic technologies are evolving in the power industry with smart grid, renewable technologies, management and control systems. This session examines the challenges and industry directions in this area.
Mining: The mining industry faces many challenges where industrial electronics technologies can have an impact, including robotics, control systems, safety concerns, and communications. There are similar challenges with off shore drilling and other applications where remote control systems are required. This session examines the challenges and industry directions in these areas.
Service-oriented architecture (SoA) based automation for very large systems-of-systems: Industrial electronics technologies are evolving with application areas being driven from cloud services. This session examines the challenges and industry directions in this area.
The IEEE Industry Forum (IF) can be attended free-of-charge, but limited space is available, and it is recommended to register as soon as possible. IF attendees qualify for 1 CPD point for ECSA registration.
The IEEE Industry Forum is presented in conjunction with one of the annual flagship conferences of the IES, the IEEE International Conference on Industrial Technology (ICIT2013), from 25 to 27 February 2013.
About 330 papers will be presented within the following technical tracks:
- Control systems, robotics and mechatronics
- Electrical machines and drives
- Power electronics and energy conversion
- Renewable energy systems
- Power systems and the smart grid
- Sensors, actuators and systems integration
- Electronic system-on-chip and real-time embedded control
- Signal and image processing and computational intelligence
- Industrial automation, communication and informatics
- Technology management
This will be a unique opportunity to network with academics and industry members from 50 countries across the globe.
Conference delegates qualify for 3 CPD points for ECSA registration.
