Symposium: Trends and Future Requirements in Automotive Electronics

The Indian automotive sector is one of the largest growth markets of the next decade. More and more Indians, especially in large urban centers, are profiting from the booming Indian economy and investing in motor vehicles. As a result, traditional Indian automobile and motorcycle manufacturers, their international counterparts and globally active suppliers are expecting sales to continue increasing.

Where is this market headed technologically? Automobiles of all sizes are equipped with more and more electronic systems to deal with the universal need to preserve the environment and reduce fuel consumption. And car owners are always interested in new technologies for enhanced comfort, security, information or communication. This symposium gave insight into automotive electronics from an Indian perspective including the technical and socio-economic trends that are intrinsically linked to the world of modern mobility.

The symposium took place on September 09, 2009 and covered the following topics:

• Components and systems for enhanced safety
• Components and systems relating to comfort
• Infotainment and telematics
  
• Novel drive systems & fuel concepts / hybrid solutions
  
• Engine management / fuel effi ciency / eco-friendliness
  
• Power-train electronics
  
• Bus systems and programming issues
  
• On- and off-board diagnostics
  
• Advanced lighting solutions
  
• Challenges for electronics in future low-cost cars

The Symposium Committee decided on the acceptance of the proposed lectures. The committee members are: A. Dube, ST Microelectronics; V.G. Gujrathi, Tata Motors Ltd.; M. Sabarwal, MMI India Pvt. Ltd.; A. Chandak, NXP; R.K. Shenoy, Robert Bosch India; K.U. Subbaiah, Tyco Electronics; T.P. Tan, Infineon Technologies Asia Pacific; V.

International Conference on Contract Manufacturing

India has already emerged as a hotspot for Contract Manufacturing (Electronics Manufacturing Services - EMS and Original Developer Manufacturing - ODM). The growing Indian economy is fuelling a massive consumer boom. Demand for electronic gadgets, appliances and equipment is growing briskly and companies are increasingly turning to EMS firms to fill the pipeline. The EMS industry in India is buzzing with activity, and Frost & Sullivan estimates that the EMS industry (electronic PCB assembly and ODM services) in India will grow from $900 million in 2005 to $2.5 billion by 2010, at an annual growth rate of about 30 percent. Much of this growth is propelled by the burgeoning demand for telecom equipment and consumer products, including mobile handsets.

This one-day International Conference on Contract Manufacturing: The Indian Perspective took place on September 08, 2009 and covered the following topics:

• Technologies in EMS and ODM businesses
• Opportunities in India
• International cooperation and match-making
• Outsourcing development, production, logisitics, and services
• Semiconductor chip design outsourcing
• Challenges for Indian EMS / ODM companies
• Components and their standardization for EMS / ODM
• Supply chain management for EMS / ODM
• New tools for process optimization
• Quality management issues
• Disaster management in Contract Electronic Manufacturing
