San Jose, CA — SEMICON West 2016's program agenda focuses on today's issues facing the future of semiconductor manufacturing. The exhibition, held from July 12 to 14, brings together an industry that has undergone enormous changes in recent years. In the last 18 months, there were over $100 billion in merg- ers and acquisitions, fragmentation of demand, and increasing vertical integration of the entire electronics supply chain. In response to this upheaval, the
exhibition has been retooled. In addi- tion to the 700 exhibitors, SEMICON West will include over 250 hours of programs and events, covering every segment of the industry. This year, the new Business and Technology Conference focuses on eight forums
addressing the key issues driving the future of semiconductor manufactur- ing and markets. The Extended Supply Chain Forum will discuss IC design, analog and new frontiers, and smart manufacturing. An Advanced Manufacturing Forum includes these topics: lithography, beyond 5 nm, scaling, compound semiconductors, MEMS and sensors, materials, power electronics, 200 mm, interconnect, 3D printing, IEEE/EDS tutorials, and the Best of West Showcase. An Internet of Things (IoT) forum will include topics such as markets and opportunities, technology, and prod- ucts and applications. The exhibition includes a Silicon
Innovation Forum on startups and new ventures, as well as research and industry. An Advanced Packaging
Automatica Focuses on
Human-Robot Collaboration Munich, Germany — Collaborative robots, a new generation of robots without protective enclosures, are to be the focus of robotics trade show Automatica in Munich from June 21- 24. The German economy is one of the most heavily dependent on automation in the world, and based on the precedent set by the country's large manufacturers, smaller compa- nies now face a wave of automation. This is due in part to the grow-
ing accessibility of robotic systems that can perform multiple tasks, work side-by-side with humans, and be quickly trained for new jobs. The current generation's robots are find- ing applications in small- and medi- um-sized companies because they are easily controlled by people. Workers show the robots new tasks by moving their hands for a required
process, and the robots measure, record, and automatically program the movement. Intuitive interface with technology has proven itself in the use of smartphones, and develop- ers of robotic systems are relying on a similar type of working relation- ship.
Machine vision systems and
sensors enable these new robotic col- leagues to communicate easily and safely with nearby workers, and to help them avoid dangers in the workplace. For SMEs (small- and medium-sized enterprises), the flexi- ble skills of collaborative robots and their ability to communicate are moving manufacturers closer to the Industry 4.0 strategy of networked, automatic processes. Human-robot teams are now a
