The first edition of the Industrial Print Integration conference marks the long-awaited return of physical industry meetings. Organised by the European Specialist Printing Manufacturers Association (ESMA), the event takes place on 18-19 May 2022 at Crowne Plaza Düsseldorf-Neuss. Representatives of all industry sectors are welcome to learn and discuss what screen, inkjet and other printing technologies can mean for the production processes of today and tomorrow.
IPI 2022 features a total of 50 presentations during two days on parallel tracks. Each morning the conference opens with inspiring keynote speeches which show the potential of printing in modern market applications. Stijn Gillissen of Henkel will present the latest smart solutions enabled by printed electronics. Dr Yinghuan Kuang from the research centre Imec will talk about the perovskite coating design for solar cells and its upscaling in the industry. Two keynotes, delivered by Kuka and FPT Robotik, will highlight the integration between robotics, printing and additive manufacturing.
Special conference track is dedicated to the Paperonics project. Between 2019 and 2021, 40 European research centres and companies investigated the future of efficient, affordable and sustainable printing of electronic components directly on paper and plastics. During IPI, they will present the project’s results and demonstrate the first samples including RFID tags for e-logistics, sensors for tamper-proof packaging and temperature threshold indicators.
Next to the high-level technical talks, IPI houses a networking arena of 50 tabletop stands, including 3M, Adphos, Agfa, Arcolor, BASF, Cadis, ChemStream, Covestro, CST, Dataphysics, DICO Electronic, Encres Dubuit, Dr. Hönle, Epta, Fraunhofer IFAM, Fraunhofer IPA, Fujifilm Ink Solutions, Fujifilm Integrated Inkjet Solutions, Global Graphics, Global Inkjet Systems, Grünig, Hasselt University, Heraeus, i4inkjet, ImageXpert, Industrial Print Solutions, Integration Technology, Kao Chimigraf, KNF, Kronos, Lambda, Marabu, Meteor Inkjet, Momentive, Notion Systems, Nur Ink, Pall, Phoseon, Quantica, RISE, Saati, Sefar, Seiko, Siegwerk, SignTronic, SPS Technoscreen, Stuttgart Media University, Sun Chemical, Thieme and Trijet.
