BRINGING THE LATEST NEWS FROM AROUND THE GLOBE


SMSI Conference and SENSOR+TEST 2020 join together to create a very special symbiosis


The success story of scientifi c conferences in the area of sensor and measuring technology in conjunction with the SENSOR+TEST goes back over thirty years. From the 22 to the 25 of June, 2020, the next step is being taken with the SMSI 2020 – Sensor and Measurement Science International. Researchers, developers, and specialists from all over the world especially appreciate the symbiosis with the parallel trade fair at which they can continue the innovation dialogue.


The worldwide leading forum for sensor, measuring, and testing technology, SENSOR+TEST has been accompanied for many years by diverse, fi rst-rate conferences. Examples are the AMA Conferences SENSOR and IRS2, the Fachtagung Sensoren und Messsysteme-, as well as the ettc, the European Test and Telemetry Conference. Besides the exciting talks on research and development, what the many participants appreciate is the proximity to the parallel trade fair. This is where they can see and experience important novelties and developments at live demonstrations, have an innovation dialog with the experts, and initiate new partnerships.


2020 is a very special year for the SENSOR+TEST (23 – 25 June


2020), as it is accompanied by a new fi rst-rate congress: the SMSI, the Sensor and Measurement Science International Conference.


It celebrates its premiere on the day before the fair (22 June 2020), commencing with tutorials, the opening ceremony with the presentation of the AMA Innovation Award, and the initial networking of the participants. Subsequently (23 – 25 June 2020) there will be three blocks of topics: “Sensors and Instrumentation”, “Measurement Science”, “System of Units, and Metrological Infrastructure”.


The new format packs quite a punch: It links national and international representatives from research, science, industry, and governmental institutions. The SMSI Conference provides a platform for the exchange of the latest research results. Suppliers and users can obtain well-founded insights which they can subsequently discuss at the SENSOR+TEST only a few steps away in Halls 1, 2, and 3C with exhibitors.


“With the SMSI Conference, SENSOR+TEST event will not only continue its success alongside its conferences, together with partners from industry and science as well as national and international

measurement institutes, it will rise to one of the world’s most scientifi c and leading events,” according to Prof. Dr. Gerald Gerlach, chairman of the Conference Committee.

FLIR Systems and Providence Photonics, LLC have announced that FLIR has made a strategic investment in Providence Photonics, developers of advanced software used to quantify invisible gas emissions using FLIR Optical Gas Imaging (OGI) cameras.


Providence Photonics specialises in the development and utilisation of advanced technology in the fi eld of optical gas imaging while tackling some of the industry’s most challenging environmental and safety problems. Using patented technology, advanced computer vision techniques, and state-of-the-art infrared imagers, they create solutions for several applications, including leak quantifi cation, leak survey validation, autonomous remote leak detection, and fl are combustion effi ciency monitoring.


As part of the strategic investment, FLIR will gain exclusive access to certain elements of Providence Photonics’ intellectual property, while helping to expand FLIR Systems’ set of offerings to its oil and gas industry customers. The companies will work to deploy Providence Photonics’ quantifi cation algorithms in current and future FLIR OGI cameras and digital services.


“Our investment in Providence Photonics represents another example of our evolution from solely being a leading sensor company to one that adds decision support to create intelligent sensing solutions,” said Frank Pennisi, President of the Industrial Business Unit at FLIR. “This investment enables to us to better serve our existing oil and gas industry customers who rely on our optical gas imaging technology to improve effi ciency and safety, while ensuring compliance with methane mitigation regulations.”
