SAW Sensor Symposium to Integrate Several Wireless Experts

Featuring wireless sensors for harsh and complex environments, the SAW Symposium 2012 will be conducted in Villach, Austria, between September 20 and 21. The symposium will highlight latest technological developments and industrial applications.

The SAW Sensor Symposium is an exchange platform benefiting research and industry, where the advanced recent trends in Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) sensor technology will be presented. It will include a large number of American, European, and Asian experts who will demonstrate innovative applications in sensor technology as well as its recent advances.

SAW technology-based Wireless sensors serve to be a unique technical solution for various process control operations such as identification and measurement tasks in steel production, automotive varnishing industry and medical engineering. SAW sensors include a piezoelectric crystal unaffected by higher temperatures than silizium based RFID-tags. Under extreme temperatures from -200° to 1000° C, these are found to resist shock and radiation. Wireless SAW sensors are found to be effective for temperature and monitoring RFID transponders for tough environments, pressure, and temperature and force sensors. Industrial applications include pressure measurement in baking trays, temperature and ID monitoring of slag vessels, or pressure monitoring for medical telemetry or monitoring of power lines.

The SAW Sensor Symposium will integrate advanced technological developments from academia and industrial applications. Major speakers who delivered presentation at the symposium include Université de Savoie’s Thierry Aubert , Ken-ya Hashimoto of Chiba University, Japan, Peter Schlumpf of Unisensor AG, Switzerland and SMS Concast Italy’s Guido Michelon. The symposium is being conducted twice a year, directed by CTR Carinthian Tech Research.
