Unattended bags are often cause for much concern, with railways and airports on high alert for abandoned luggage. This luggage proves a significant problem for the emergency services, who have to assume that they may contain explosive materials. Now, a remote-controlled robot is set to scan abandoned baggage in order to make this job easier.

Smart Systems Integration 2016 will take place at the Holiday Inn Munich – City Centre in Munich, Germany from 9th – 10th March 2016. SSI focuses on complex systems up to their components. The presented contents are user- and industry-oriented and show the research and development potential worldwide.

In Germany the concept of energiewende (the country’s transition to an energy portfolio dominated by renewable energy, energy efficiency and sustainable development), inherently includes smart energy use. However, there is not yet any storage system that could be used by industry to efficiently recover braking energy of the many machines in Germany.

Celebrating its 40thanniversary, productronica continued to attract good crowds with 38,000 visitors from nearly 80 countries. Visitors from Asia increased while travel issues affected some European countries.

The winners of the productronica innovation award were announced earlier this week on the first day of the show. An independent panel of judges selected the most innovative products and solutions from nearly 70 submissions

The Full Service Foundry division of ams has announced its fast and cost-efficient IC prototyping service, known as Multi-Project Wafer (MPW) or shuttle run, with an updated schedule for 2016. The prototyping service, which combines several designs from different customers onto a single wafer, offers significant cost advantages for foundry customers as the costs for wafers and masks are shared among a number of different shuttle participants.

An Over-The-Air (OTA) wave field synthesis system for test and certification of GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) receivers was presented by Fraunhofer Gesellschaft at it’s IIS Facility for Over the Air Research and Testing (FORTE) in Ilmenau. The innovative and complex OTA test system is mainly based on Hardware and Software solutions from IZT, including powerful RF receivers and high performance signal generators.

productronica's opening event, a CEO Roundtable, highlights one of the most urgent topics related to Industry 4.0 - cyber security in companies. Productronica will also focus on another aspect of Industry 4.0 with a special show titled Electronics.Production.Augmented. These and several other supporting events will make productronica 2015 more than just a show.

Two years after the launch of the PICS project (funded by the FP7 funding instrument dedicated to research for the benefit of SMEs), three European SMEs, IPDiA, Picosun and SENTECH Instruments along with CEA-Leti and Fraunhofer IPMS-CNT announce the major technological results achieved during this programme.

Under which conditions are EVs less expensive than diesel vehicles? What are the positive environmental effects? And what about their acceptance by users and reliability in practice? The RheinMobil project, co-ordinated by KIT, answers these questions in a study of a fleet test covering two and a half years of operation with 300,000 electrically driven kilometers. The results were presented at the International Motor Show (IAA) in Frankfurt.
