Industry Forum is an IEEE Industrial Electronics Society (IES) program where industry speakers address technology directions, products, and challenges to IES conference attendees. This exposes technology and product perspectives that need to be faced by companies every day. The program opens the opportunity for industry leaders to interact with the conference attendees and to find common interests in areas that are mutually beneficial such as technical solutions, benchmarks, and standards. The Industry Forum series is organized by the IEEE IES Industry Activities Committee (IAC) http://www.ieee-ies.org/industry-forum

Session 1: Lifelong Learning

As individuals progress in their career, they need to continue to grow their skills in technology and leadership. This session focuses on training technologies to assist employees and entrepreneurs in keeping up with current technologies.  This includes specialized training for leadership as well as continuous learning in technology. One particular interest is to utilize AI technologies to design training techniques that focus the content on the needs and knowledge of the target individual.  Strategies from successful training companies as well as new research will be addressed.

Speakers:

António Teixeira, Universidade Aberta, Portugal
Title: Learning as a life-long and life-wide experience: opening up, scaling up and personalizing education

Bruno Iafelice, PhD, Ceo | TVLP Institute Silicon Valley Menlo Park, California, USA
Title: Acquiring an Entrepreneurial Mindset for Technology Leaders and Scientists

Etelberto Costa, Lifelong Learning Ativist, Lisbon, Portugal
Title: Why Lifelong learning is the savior of your organization?

Session 2: Implementing the Vision of Industry 4.0

Industry 4.0 (I4.0) envisions key architectural and technological fusion of concepts in order to realize the next generation of industrial automation. Industrial Cyber-Physical Systems, Industrial Internet of Things, Artificial Intelligence, Cloud & Fog Computing, Digital Twins Robotics, and Autonomous Systems, etc. are some of the elements utilized to implement the vision. This session will focus on the effective application of key concepts and technologies of I4.0, as this has been realized in industry and discuss the lessons learned, and best practices.

Speakers:

Gisela Garcia, Volkswagen Autoeuropa, Lda., Portugal
Title: The Future of Automotive Industry

Peter Waher, Trust Anchor Group AB, Stockholm, Sweden
Title: Federated and Legal Identities in Industrial and Financial applications, with IEEE 1451.99

Sílvia Garcia, Portuguese Mint and Official Printing Office, Portugal
Title: ATLAS Project – Autonomous Transport for Logistic Automatic System

Session 3: Transportation Electrification

Ever since the introduction of the electric car, electric vehicles are moving quickly into the mainstream, creating disruptive innovations in the automotive industry and the transportation industry, with connected and autonomous vehicles in the forefront, but not taking away of innovations in the rail, air or shipping industries. Here it has brought about the confluence of the transportation industry with the IT/communications industries to provide the autonomous and connectivity aspects in the coming age of autonomous/self-driving vehicles and transportation. In recent years, we see relentless efforts from both industry and academia on such systems ranging from electric vehicles (cars, planes, and ships) and its infrastructure (charging stations, roadside infrastructure), spreading to driverless cars, unmanned aviation vehicles (UAV), automated guided vehicles (AGV), and autonomous ships.

In this session, the invited speakers will address state-of-the-art, research and business challenges, and use cases of electric transportation. Topics under this session include (but not limited to):

  • Applications and business cases in electric transportation – land, air, sea
  • Transportation infrastructure for electric transportation – charging stations, power grids, etc.
  • V2X communications infrastructure related to autonomous vehicles and transportation
  • EV Charging networks and infrastructure
  • New emerging technologies for connected and autonomous vehicles
  • Legal and ethical implications and standards for the industry

Speakers:

André Ribeiro Lourenço, CardioID Technologies/Instituto Superior de Engenharia de Lisboa, Portugal
Title: Human Factors in Transport Safety – Enabling Safer Vehicles & Driving

Jan Paul Long, JCLSP Fellow, Japan Cluster of Security Professionals
Title: Low Cost Technologies and Methods for Manufacturers to Protect Current and Future Automotive Supply Chains and Legacy CANbus Systems

Dr. Pietro Perlo, General Director Interactive Fully Electrical Vehicles, I-FEVS
Title: Designing and Manufacturing Affordable Urban Electric Vehicles
