A Technology Solutions Webinar Series for e-Mobility Electronics Hardware Reliability

A Technology Solutions Webinar Series for e-Mobility Electronics Hardware Reliability

Date
-

We are delighted to welcome Adrian Harea of Schaeffler and Michael Schleicher of Semikron-Danfoss to lead a discussion on DfM for EV's high-voltage / high-power applications.

The panel will share techniques for addressing the complexity of components, increased integration, 3D assembly and working with heavy assemblies. They will touch on the constraints of final systems that impact size, weight, configuration and shape. Balancing easy to manufacture with cost and quality is a key backdrop for the discussion. Panelists will present board level and final assembly DFM considerations. 

Our "Road to Reliability" series aims to bring industry leaders together to discuss the hurdles in achieving reliability for new e-mobility technology. We will examine reliability drivers, technology applications, and target lifecycles.

Join us for this informative session to better understand technology gaps, broaden your professional connections, and uncover strategies for meeting reliability objectives.

Upper Midwest/Twin Cities EMS Leader Roundtable: Bot or Not? AI, Automation, and Assembling the Workforce of the Future

Upper Midwest/Twin Cities EMS Leader Roundtable: Bot or Not? AI, Automation, and Assembling the Workforce of the Future

Date
-

July 30, 2025 | 4:00 pm – 8:00 pm
Location:
Renaissance Minneapolis Bloomington Hotel
5500 American Blvd W
Bloomington, Minnesota 55437
952.831.8000

Join fellow EMS leaders in the region to share industry pain points and solutions. Participants steer the conversation—resulting in unique takeaways that reflect the priorities in the room.

To start the conversation, we will discuss AI. AI is taking over manufacturing—but who’s teaching the humans? In this lively roundtable, EMS executives will unpack how AI is reshaping production, quality control, and (ironically) the jobs we need to fill. Join us as we decode the best strategies for recruiting and training a workforce that won’t short-circuit in the face of automation. The future is here, and it still needs operators (for now).

Following this presentation, participants will discuss the technologies and impacts of AI and automation on their business and workforce. Discussion will pull from direct experience, questions, and ideas. From there, the conversation goes where you, the leaders, take it. No two roundtables end the same.

Complimentary registration includes: 
•    Peer-led roundtable discussions
•    Updates on relevant EMS industry studies/reports
•    Recap of business resources available
•    Reception and dinner
•    Peer networking, partnership building

Questions? MarkWolfe@ipc.org
