Automatica Focuses on Human-Robot


third option in addition to full automation and manual work. In such a team, the robot handles monotonous, dangerous or physically stressful work while its human coun- terpart handles demanding assembly as well as any creative troubleshoot- ing. The quick conversion of a human-robot team to a new produc- tion process also makes it possible to produce devices in small quantities more inexpensively. Alongside stationary robots,


mobile and autonomous transport systems are proving themselves to be reliable helpers as well, especially when handling heavy or bulky com- ponents. By sensing their environ- ment, they detect people and objects to avoid running into potential obsta- cles. These types of robots are able to replenish stock, move flow racks, transport unfinished products between work steps, and transport the finished goods to a warehouse. The automation of the process elimi- nates human errors, makes workflow more efficient, and ensures stability and reliability. Contact: Messe Munchen

vision 2020. Other key programs include:


"Bulls and Bears," moderated by Applied Materials' Robert Halliday, which will contain a panel of Wall Street analysts discussing the evolu- tion of the electronics market; SEMI & Gartner Market Symposium, which will be presented by SEMI and Gartner and review market forecasts and analysis for the semiconductor, capital equipment, materials, and adjacent industries; and the Women in Technology Forum, which is pre- sented in partnership with Women in Technology International (WITI) and provides perspective on women con- tributing at both the executive and young technologist levels. Innovation Village and interna-


tional pavilions and theaters will be used for presentations that focus on key industry topics including 3D manufacturing, secondary equip- ment and compound semiconductors. SEMICON West attracts indus-


try thought leaders, analysts, engi- neers, designers, and business execu- tives and allows them to gather and exchange ideas. Keeping up to date on business trends and making and renewing connections with customers and partners across the entire supply chain is as important as ever. Contact: SEMI, 3081 Zanker

SMTAI 2015 Papers Now in SMTA Knowledge Base


Eden Prairie, MN — The Technical Conference Proceedings from the SMTA International Conference and Exhibition (SMTAI) 2015 are now available for download from the SMTA Knowledge base. More than 130 papers that were presented last Fall at SMTAI have been posted, including papers from the AIMS/ Harsh Environments Sympo sium, the Lead-Free Soldering Technology Sym - posium, and the Evolving Technol - ogies Summit. The knowledge base is a search-


able collection of industry information on a range of topics, including assem- bly, lead-free, SMT, PoP, process con- trol, embedded actives/passives, 3D/ TSV, and printed electronics. The database contains thou-


sands of full-length technical articles and is searchable by all visitors. SMTA members may download PDFs, while non-members may purchase them. The proceedings can be viewed at www.smta.org under the publica- tions tab. The SMTA International Confer -


ence and Exhibition 2016 will be held September 25-29 at the Donald Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Illinois. The SMTA is an international network of professionals who build skills, share practical expe- rience and develop solutions in elec- tronic assembly technologies, includ- ing microsystems, emerging technolo- gies and related business operations.
