Trainings and Workshops

#1 session of our series »Electronic Solutions for Challenging Environments« // SPEAKER: Dr. Martin Hempel // In order to be able to use electronics where they are needed and to achieve maximum performance, the packaging of the individual components into an overall system is crucial. The expert session will give an insight into the technologies available at Fraunhofer IZM and then focus on embedding technology and demonstrate its application using the example of extremely challenging environments in maritime use.

In this series, we highlight innovative technologies for applications that are used in challenging conditions, be it in medical technology, in the oceanic environment, in the automotive sector or even in clothing.

#2 session of our series »Electronic Solutions for Challenging Environments« // SPEAKER: Sigrid Rotzler // Washability is a necessity for most wearable electronic textiles (e-textiles), yet difficult to achieve. For textile circuits, the requirements are particularly high. The expert session will give an insight into how different material and processing parameters (from textile substrates and circuit types to integration and interconnections) and their interactions can impact washability.

In the EU INCREACE project, PHILIPS and PEZY collaboratively developed a tool for designers and engineers to calculate the recyclability rate of a product and point out design improvements. It enables designers to develop recyclable design options only using product data available to the designers. The tool is based on years of experience and collaboration with recyclers, backed with scientific insights.

Fraunhofer IZM offers a radar workshop based on a Texas Instruments (TI)-Ecosystem. The workshop focuses on signal processing of radar systems, especially for the IWR6843. It contains a theoretical and a practical part of 4 hours each.
