First Annual SEMIEXPO Heartland Event to Assemble Leaders in Smart Manufacturing and Smart Mobility
November 7, 2024 | SEMIEstimated reading time: 1 minute
With automotive electronics and Industry 4.0 serving as key semiconductor industry growth drivers, SEMI Americas’ inaugural SEMIEXPO Heartland event will gather key smart manufacturing and smart mobility stakeholders from April 1-2, 2025, at the Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis. Registration is now open.
“The Midwestern U.S. is rising as a key innovation region for both smart mobility and smart manufacturing,” said Joe Stockunas, President of SEMI Americas. “We created SEMIEXPO Heartland in collaboration with our partners, to unite mobility and manufacturing leaders and uncover new business and networking opportunities. The conference program will focus on solving industry challenges and will highlight emerging innovations, as mobility and manufacturing continue to propel the semiconductor market forward.”
The SEMIEXPO Heartland event’s Smart Mobility track will connect professionals in the mobility, semiconductor, and sensor ecosystems to address technical issues and supply chain dynamics. This track will also explore the latest innovations in MEMS, power semiconductors, chiplets, and systems, during the following sessions:
- Electric Vehicles and Power Semiconductors Driving Sustainability
- Chiplets Reshaping the Compute Architecture
- Autonomous Vehicles Powered by AI Technology
- MEMS and Sensors, the Indispensable Source for Smart Vehicles
The Smart Manufacturing track will provide insights into Industry 4.0 methods where artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are improving quality, yield, and reliability at a reduced overall manufacturing cost. As wafer fabs accelerate deployment of technologies like digital twins, data analytics, and AI, companies focused on assembly, packaging, and test (APT) are working to overcome challenges associated with this next phase of digital development. Smart Manufacturing track sessions include:
- Chips and the Future of U.S. Semiconductor APT – Keynote
- APT Innovations Unleashed
- Smart Manufacturing for APT: Data Analytics/AI and Digital Twins
- Robotics and Automation for APT
- Future OSAT and APT Factories
SEMIEXPO Heartland will also feature a Workforce Development Pavilion to create career awareness for students, military veterans, and other job seekers, including those from adjacent manufacturing industries. The pavilion will host resume review sessions, flash mentoring, “day in the life” sessions led by industry professionals, and SEMI University educational classes.

Standard of Excellence: Hiring for Quality Positions in Manufacturing, Engineering, and Management
11/26/2024 | Anaya Vardya -- Column: Standard of ExcellenceIn continuing my series on finding, signing, and keeping good people for your company, this month we discuss hiring good people for your quality department. Even when hiring was easier, hiring for the quality department has always been especially challenging. It takes a special kind of person: someone with attention to detail, someone ready to stand for his or her convictions, and someone who can stand up under pressure when the company needs to ship product and the quality manager refuses to because it is not up to par. The quality department is the very soul of any manufacturing company.
