GaN Systems’ CEO Delivering PCIM Europe Keynote About GaN Hardware Innovations
GaN Systems announced that its CEO Jim Witham will give a keynote address at PCIM Europe in Nuremberg, Germany May 7-9, 2019. Witham's presentation, "GaN and Industry 4.0 - A Small Change that is Revolutionizing the Industry," will be on Thursday, May 9, 2019 at 8:45 am. at Room Brüssel 1.
He will also host a Q&A session following the keynote from 12:20pm. - 12:50pm. at Room Mailand.
Hardware innovation with GaN advances Industry 4.0
During the keynote, Witham will share his unique perspective on Industry 4.0 and discuss how power electronics is helping to break down the many technological challenges affecting this sector, especially the hardware innovation that needs to happen for the hundreds of millions of motors, motor drives, robots, and robotics systems needed in today's industrial spaces.
GaN Systems points out that industrial use accounts for more than 40% of the world's electricity use with two-thirds of that alone consumed by industrial motors.
In the midst of what some refer to as the fourth Industrial Revolution new technology and energy requirements demand innovation in motor drives and robotics and in the data centers that support smart factories and facilities. GaN Systems points out that GaN technology is advancing this revolution by enabling smaller, higher efficiency motors and motor drives as well as smaller and higher precision robotics. Robots, as they move to the new levels of autonomy and precision needed to support industry 4.0, will significantly benefit from advancements in motors and wireless charging.
Several GaN Systems' experts will also participate in the following speaker sessions
