photonics 4 industrial production

On October 29th the workshop Photonics 4 Industrial Production of Photonics Austria took place in Vienna in cooperation with the platform Industrie 4.0. With nearly 40 participants the successful event included 7 lectures on Laser Production Technologies and Simulation, Monitoring and AR as well as two interesting panel discussions. Following the framework programm the participants and speakers harnessed the opportunity to network and also the guided testing of a Microsoft HoloLens was quite popular. The presentations will soon be available online.

"light in action"

international day of light on the 16th of may, 2018

The platform Photonics Austria organized a series of lectures with renowned Austrian Photonics Companies and experts in cooperation with the bmvit on the occasion of the international day of light on the 16th of May 2018 to offer a broad audience insights into the exciting future technology Photonics.

In the event hall of the Bundesamtsgebäude in Vienna interesting findings on different topics were presented. For example:

Lasertechnology in space flight
Quantumtechnology
Qualitymanagement for 3D prints
Colored Photons: a new generation of chips
Optical sensors of our future
Light radio technology and glas fibre technology
Metamaterials
The future of lighting beyond LED

Besides an exciting framework program with experiments and demonstrations there was the possibility to interchange and network with leading experts on this technological area during the breaks.

The bmvit and Photonics Austria are pleased about the huge interest for this event and look back on a well visited and successful event.
