In spite of promising projects, telemedicine is still not part of regular care. However, a study which for the first time has proven that telemedicine can extend the lives of heart patients could now put an end to the waiting. Telemedicine is synonymous with technical progress like no other area of health care. Yet in spite of the lack of doctors, e.g. in rural areas, and overworked ER departments, treatments based solely on telemedicine are...

Smart, reliable, and secure networking at all levels is the focus for this year’s edition of the trade fair and conference for electronics, to be held on 13th to 16th November, 2018, in Munich, Germany. This time round, electronica will be going beyond the presentation of relevant components, systems, applications, and solutions.

81% of consumers all around the world would like 'electronic devices of the future' to make their lives easier. However, users have very different views on what artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, and digitalisation should and shouldn’t be allowed to do: 71% of global consumers think that electronic devices should only assist humans. These are the findings of the electronica trend Index 2018.

Smart energy is the umbrella term for a wide range of technologies in this area relating to energy storage, consumption control, and energy conversion. electronica 2018, 13th to 16th November, in Munich, has the motto ‘Connecting everything: Smart, safe & secure’ and will be showcasing products and services from a wide range of sectors.

The digital world depends on data and that data increasingly comes from networked, intelligent sensor technology. As one of the key technologies for the future developments in IoT, autonomous driving, Industry 4.0, smart healthcare, and smart cities, visitors will find sensor technology in many of the sectors and events at electronica, held on 13th to 16th November, 2018.

The motto of electronica 2018 ‘Connecting Everything – smart, safe & secure’ applies particularly to the trade fair focal point ‘Embedded Systems’. As one of the most important interdisciplinary technologies in the 21th century, they are represented in almost all areas of the world's leading trade fair for components, systems and applications of electronics from 13th to 16th November, 2018. 

electronica is staging four conferences this year. The Automotive Conference, Embedded Platforms Conference, the Wireless Congress and the new Medical Electronics Conference, all dealing with developments and trends in electronics, will be staged at electronica in Munich from 13th to 16th November, 2018.

Due to its continued growth, electronica will, for the first time, take up 17 halls at the Messe München exhibition grounds. The new halls C5 and C6, which will be completed in the spring of 2018, will also be integrated into the hall structure. Furthermore, halls C2 and C3 will be used for the first time. electronica will take place from 13th to 16th November, 2018.

The automotive industry is undergoing a dramatic transformation, by 2025, it is reckoned that a quarter of all cars worldwide will be electrically powered. On top of that, manufacturers and suppliers are currently responding to increasing demands for ‘next-generation’ technologies including autonomous and connected vehicles, as well as developing completely new data-generated business models.

Electronica will bring the global electronics industry together in Munich for the World’s largest trade fair dedicated to all aspects of electronics technology. electronica 2018 will offer visitors the chance to see all the major players from key electronics industry sectors including semiconductors, power, interconnection, embedded and test and measurement as well as the chance to learn more about developments that are considered...

The secret ingredients for producing sleek vehicles for years have been common knowledge to only car manufacturers. But now, the wizards from Silicon Valley are eclipsing powerful engines and sleek bodywork with invisible algorithms. Until recently, self-driving cars were no more than pie in the sky. But suddenly, everyone is in a rush. Even legislators, who are generally not known for acting quickly.

  Steve Rogerson found that this year’s electronica saw IoT hype give way to reality.

In keeping with the motto of this year’s electronica - ‘Talent meets Industry’ – the Cosima Award was presented on the student day of the fair, Friday 11th November. The competition for college students in the field of microsystem technology honours applications that improve or simplify interaction between man and technology in various aspects of life.

Last week’s electronica exhibition in Munich saw a total of 2,913 companies from more than 50 countries present their solutions. The event saw approximately 73,000 visitors in attendance over the four days and, according to Falk Senger, Managing Director at Messe München: “This year's electronica did an impressive job of demonstrating how the various aspects of our lives will network with one another in the future and redefine ou...

Some of the programme highlights from the upcoming Embedded Platforms Conference at electronica 2016 include expert technical presentations on NAND Flash reliability, core independent MCU peripherals and speedy development of embedded software. Sally Ward-Foxton investigates.

Automotive security will be a leading topic for the Cyber Security Forum at electronica 2016. Applications will be addressed in the context of securing communication over telematics systems. Connected cars are potentially more vulnerable to attack. Car networks need to be brought up-to-date using a Secure Network Platform, fortifying the car’s connected environment with an inclusive component shell. Speakers from leading semiconductor compa...

  Innovation and quality are the most important cornerstones of electronics. Finding new people who are curious and interested, display a pioneering spirit and can help companies in the industry to move forward is essential.

Electronics is a key technology for medicine—from diagnosis to treatment. Increasing digitalisation of all aspects of life and the patients' wish for more autonomy are driving this development forward more quickly. At electronica, which takes place at the Messe München trade-fair center from November 8 to 11, several exhibitors will present the latest technologies and products for medical electronics.

In the future, mobility will be shaped by developments in automotive electronics - smart lighting, autonomous driving and connected vehicles (to name just a few buzzwords) are closely related to electronic components and software developed around the world now and in the future. electronica, to be held in Munich from 8th-11th November 2016, will shed light on the latest developments. Experts will also discuss the industry's latest challenges and ...
