To coincide with this and make best opportunity to bring local stakeholders from industry and academia together, a workshop in the Starhotels Excelsior (Viale Pietro Pietramellara 51, 40121, Bologna Italy) will be held on 14th January to discuss energy harvesting, power management, related technologies and the value proposition of retrofitting long life wireless sensors. In addition, the workshop will include dedicated sessions on machine learning for predictive analytics and on virtual simulations, showcasing innovative approaches to optimise design and engineering processes. 

We are excited to confirm the following speaker line-up. 

  • “Multidisciplinary research at the Advanced Research Center on Electronic Systems of UNIBO”
    Prof. Elena Gnani,
  • “Wireless Power Transfer & RF research"
    Prof. Alessandra Costanzo, prof. Diego Masotti
  • “Edge processing for Condition and Structural Health Monitoring"
    Prof. Luca De Marchi
  • "Optimization-Based Generative Design: An Application to Mechanism Synthesis"
    Eng. Mario Sboarina
  • "Kinematic Analysis for Automated Machinery Systems: A Practical Overview"
    Eng. Giovanni Piccoli,

This will be followed by opportunities for networking and discussing future collaborations. Registration is free and open to all.

About LoLiPoP-IoT:
In LoLiPoP-IoT innovative Long Life Power Platforms are being developed to enable retrofitting of wireless sensor network (WSN) modules in IoT applications. It comprises energy harvesting (light, heat, vibrations, RF) and micro-power management platforms as well as application optimised WSN modules. The partners work on minimizing power consumption and maximising use of the ambient energies to assure long battery life of the WSN modules, in many cases full power autonomy. The APPLICATION (industry 4.0, smart mobility and energy efficient buildings) Use Cases drive the development of algorithms to perform FUNCTIONALITIES like asset tracking, condition monitoring (for predictive maintenance) and energy/comfort optimization in buildings.

LoLiPoP-IoT creates an ecosystem of 40 developers, integrators and users from 10 European countries to develop these platforms thinking about power/battery life, ease of installation and maintenance. The project is driven by 10 laboratory- and field-based use cases to initially demonstrate their technical viability and then potential impact.
