productronica 2009 – Full Programme Of Supporting Events For World’s leading Electronics Production Show

As well as these special focus areas, the events programme at Productronica is driven by knowledge transfer. Experts from all fields of electronics production will be presenting at the ZVEI sponsored Productronica Forum in Hall A1. More than 50 short, but detailed, papers will be presented on topics ranging from New Technologies for Green Manufacturing and The Future for EMS Companies, to Traceability in the Supply Chain and New Packaging Technologies using Chip Embedding Techniques. The full programme is listed in the visitors section of www.productronica.com

Hall B3 will be the venue for SOPRO, a special show highlighting how future production facilities will use the very latest technology. Self-Organising PROduction will make use of a new technology labelled e-grains. These tiny electronic cells permit production machines and systems to communicate with each other allowing a manufacturing plant an unprecedented degree of intelligence and flexibility which will ultimately mean a production facility that can think for itself!

Not open to the public is the new Munich Electronics Summit which is aimed at CEOs and Managing Directors of leading international organisations and large medium-sized enterprises from all parts of the World. During an exclusive discussion in an informal and private atmosphere, the business leaders will meet to talk about strategies, ideas, future trends and general political conditions within the electronics industry. A summary report detailing the findings of the summit will be made generally available.

The Munich Electronics Summit will take place on the first day of productronica, which will open its doors at the New Munich Trade Fair Centre from November 10 to 13, 2009.
