STMicroelectronics (ST), a global semiconductor supplier serving customers across the entire spectrum of electronics applications, will host its 2022 Industrial Summit at the Futian Shangri-La Hotel in Shenzhen, China, on November 3.
ST presents a broad and innovative portfolio with more than 20,000 products aimed at around 40 sub-segments. In its fourth year, under the theme “Powering Your Sustainable Innovation”, the annual Industrial Summit will include a full range of demonstrations, along with enlightening technical sessions presented by ST and its technical partners, sharing the complete ecosystem to drive participants' upcoming projects. . and innovations.
Sustainable technologies
Highlighting its more than 30-year commitment to sustainability, ST's main attraction for this year's Summit are four spotlight areas covering Green Energy Generation and Storage, Smart School, Smart Healthcare and Smart Agriculture. These areas feature more than 20 different sustainable technologies.
Green energy generation and storage: Supported by government mandates and investment programs, key infrastructure, including power grids, clean public transport and the transition to renewable energy, are attracting increasing attention. China is investing heavily to support this energy transition and the global commitment to carbon neutrality.
ST's green energy technologies help customers increase energy efficiency and system reliability for all types of equipment in homes and buildings and across different industrial sectors.
At the Summit, ST and its customers will demonstrate energy generation and storage solutions that include microinverters, single-phase inverters, three-phase inverters, energy storage, smart meters and charging piles. Here, ST's advanced technologies include a full range of microcontrollers (MCUs), silicon carbide (SiC) devices packaged as power discretes and power modules, galvanic isolation gate drivers, and power measurement and communication controllers. power line (PLC).
Having developed many of these demonstrations, ST Industrial Competence Centers are also showing how they provide customers with system-level solutions.
Smart school: China is promoting smart education and encouraging universities to actively explore the construction of smart campuses. At the Summit, visitors will be able to experience a smart school equipped with smart, connected devices from ST customers and partners. This includes a KNX connectivity platform, smart lighting, smart curtain, window pusher, room detector and thermostat.
These solutions are based on ST's product portfolio that includes STM32 MCUs, power management components, a full range of optical, environmental and motion sensors, as well as wired and wireless connectivity technologies. ST's competence brings all this together in optimized products and solutions for customers.
Visitors can explore state-of-the-art robots. Examples include a Chinese chess AI robot and two robot dogs based on STSPIN motor drivers. They show how robots can accompany children and interact with them.
Smart healthcare: Medical equipment for therapy and diagnosis are often complex computer-controlled electromechanical systems. They rely on advanced semiconductor technologies and components to help provide healthcare in hospitals and doctors' offices, as well as in homes.
Capable of measuring vital signs and performing other readings, some of today's medical and healthcare devices must also be capable of delivering the high power needed to deliver MRI images or generate precise high-voltage, high-frequency pulses found in ultrasound equipment.
With an emphasis on quality and reliability, ST's broad device portfolio, including discrete devices, low-power MCUs, motor drivers, image sensors, memories, MEMS sensors, thin-film batteries, and analog, digital and mixed signals, are suitable for addressing healthcare applications.
ST and customers will demonstrate a variety of medical and healthcare devices, including a ventilator, a high-flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy device, a patient monitor, a portable ultrasound device, a continuous positive airway pressure device (CPAP) and an AED. between others.
Smart farming : Smart farming is the future of modern agriculture and is crucial to achieving sustainability. Bringing a full suite of connectivity options to drones, robots and unmanned vehicles supports the addition of artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things to the world of agricultural production. Whether on the ground, in the air or under water, connectivity makes agriculture smarter to make work easier, increase yields, avoid disasters, minimize human labor and reduce risky activities by humans.
ST's broad product portfolio, including MCUs, wired and wireless connectivity products, full range of sensors and actuators, as well as power management, motor drivers and IPM, especially the STM32WL's LoRa networking technology, facilitates development .
At the Summit, ST and customers will showcase professional smart agriculture applications. For example, an agricultural drone and an unmanned ground vehicle are smart partners in digitalized agriculture. And the industrial underwater ROV/drone is a professional and reliable partner for underwater emergency rescue, fish farming and environmental protection inspection.
ST Statements
To provide industrial customers in Asia with strong and efficient support for their development activities, ST operates three dedicated Industrial Competence Centers. They focus on motor control, automation, and power and energy. The expertise of the competence centers, highlighted in many of the demonstrations, will also be on display.
