YOKOHAMA, Japan, July 13 – Japan Embedded Systems Technology Association (JASA) with the participation of industry leaders in Japan will be holding its annual Embedded Technology Conference and Exhibition (ET2012) in Yokohama, Japan, November 14 through 16, 2012. Last year, approximately 22,000 registered attendees visited ET2011, the largest embedded technology event in the world. The event offers suppliers a cost-effective and efficient exhibition - opening a window to Japan and Asia markets for embedded products and services. Special turnkey booth and support services are offered for emerging ventures and startups.
Featuring a comprehensive technical program, including in-depth tutorials and tomorrow's application themes, ET2012 provides a unique opportunity for design engineers and managers to grasp the advanced techniques that address programming and real-time design challenges. Attendees will be able to test the latest embedded hardware, semiconductors/integrated circuits, design tools, middleware, and many other products from more than 350 exhibitors (750+ booths).
ET2012's 100+ conference sessions will be attended by more than 10,000 registered attendees. The sessions will address today's hottest design topics, including multicore processors, 28nm FPGA, the Android platform, smart energy technologies, dependable systems, formal verification, real-time design and testing strategies and tools for complex embedded systems. The sessions will enable design engineers to obtain the latest embedded know-how needed to create state-of-the-art design solutions.
ET2012 will spotlight hot applications in Japan covering digital consumer, automotive electronics, ubiquitous computing/communication and factory automation/robotics. The emergence of advanced processors, better development tools, and high-speed Internet access has created a plethora of opportunities for consumer electronics products that combine audio and video technologies.
A turnkey booth package is available for both 1-unit (3x3m) booth and 2-unit (3x6m) booth configurations. The cost for a basic 1-booth set up is 90,000 yen plus tax. The cost for a basic 2-booth set up is 130,000 yen plus tax. Turnkey booths includes basic carpet/flooring, lights/furnishings and electrical. The turnkey booth is set up for exhibitors...just have to add your signs, brochures and other items you wish to bring.

Despite reassurances of automation professionals throughout the industry, some experts simply aren't convinced that technological advancements in robotics and automation aren't negatively impacting U.S. employment rates, which is what Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee of the MIT Sloan School of Management have been arguing over the past year and a half.
As far as modeling and simulation are concerned, nautical transportation isn’t one of the first things to come to mind. Still, it presents a unique use case for computer-integrated manufacturing, as the focus of the modeling and simulation is on the construction process itself. By coordinating the insertion of massive hull blocks, it not only streamlines construction, but it improves safety as well.
When it comes to testing a new line of trucks, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that automakers such as Ford aren’t afraid to be tough on their latest models. But separating the pounding the trucks can take from the test driver can get a bit tricky, which is why Ford has recently handed the keys over to robots instead of flesh-and-blood drivers.
Last month’s news of 3D printers entering brick-and-mortar Staples stores may have represented a major step in mainstream commercialization of additive manufacturing tools, but in what is perhaps an even bigger step, online retail giant Amazon recently added a dedicated section of its site to 3D printers and supplies.
In the wake of the economic downturn, reshoring efforts and increased emphasis on STEM, there’s plenty of uncertainty about where global manufacturing is headed in the next several years. Helping to give us a better sense of this trajectory is a group of thought leaders who have come together to try and answer the most pertinent questions about the future.
As the U.S. manufacturing sector fights to stay competitive on a global scale, the issue of improving STEM education has been key. But in a recent study measuring how workers in STEM fields are putting their educations to use it was found that half didn't need a bachelor's degree.
Chevrolet has added digital manufacturing technology to its arsenal. Abandoning clay for their latest Malibu, the automaker has turned to two types of additive manufacturing to meet their rapid prototyping needs.
