  Supply Chain Risk Management in Scanfil Poland
  Anna Toruńska - Supplier Quality Manager - Scanfil Polska Sp. z o.o.
  The years 2021-2022 were years of great difficulties on the electronic components market. This required electronics manufacturers such as Scanfil to change the their way of working in the supply chain. The questions mark were: - which components to focus on? - which components are critical for us? - what do we mean by that? - can we measure the risk for them? These challenges were the signal to carry out the "Risk Management in the Supply Chain" project, and its goal was to develop a tool that would present the risk for individual components using numbers, data and facts. During the presentation, we will go through the next steps of the project, where: - I will present the risks defined in the supply chain, - I will discuss their measures and the method of evaluation, - I will present an interface with which we visualize and manage risks. I would like to invite you to listen to an example of how the immeasurable became measurable...

  Competition law for entrepreneurs.
  Maria Kanak - legal advisor / owner of - Legal Counsel's Office, specialist in the field of competition protection law
  In 2009. European Commission fined Intel €1.1 billion, in 2014. Infineon Technologies AG was fined more than €82 million and in 2019 a fine of €1.49 billion was imposed on Google. In all cases, the penalties related to prohibited anti-competitive practices. What are anti-competitive practices and what are the legal risks of their use on our, national ground? Can anti-competitive practices be committed accidentally or are they always intentional? What is the legal liability for such practices and does this liability always apply only to the trader and never to his manager? And finally, is the entrepreneur liable for the intentional acts of his employee? During the presentation, we will try to answer the above questions, pointing out the issues that should be taken into account by the trader in the process of defining the trader's policy of action on the market, in order to correctly identify and limit possible legal and competitive risks.
• 10:45 - 11:15
  Commercialization of R&D research results at Łukasiewicz IMIF - challenges and opportunities
  PhD Eng. Piotr J. Cywiński - Head of Commercialization - Łukasiewicz - Institute of Microelectronics and Photonics

  Even despite their high commercial potential, many potentially disruptive technologies are not commercialized due to various obstacles such as low economic levels, insufficient technological maturity, or a lack of dialogue between industry and academia. Therefore, the commercialization of R+D research is a difficult task that requires careful planning for its efficient implementation. In this approach, this contribution sums up the opportunities for industry, in particular small and medium-sized enterprises, to carry out research and development works to commercialize semiconductor technologies devoted to integrated circuits, gallium nitride and silicon carbide-based systems or quantum cascade lasers.

• 11:20 - 11:50
  Automation of the soldering process of THT through-hole components for micro, small and medium-sized companies
  Karol Sowa - Company Owner / Process Specialist - Sowa Electronics, in cooperation with Pillarhouse International Ltd
  Rising costs of energy, employment, materials and components have a negative impact on the profitability of Polish Electronics Companies and OEMs. During the lecture, we will try to answer the following questions: how much does the purchase and implementation of a selective soldering machine cost and after what time such an investment would pay off.
• 11:55 - 12:25

The second project is the use of a modular Mars rover to conduct analogue planetary missions. We will show the realisation of scientific missions, terrain reconnaissance and autonomous navigation, as well as work support and assistance for the astronaut. We will also discuss experiments carried out in the stratosphere using balloons and research payload nacelles.
• 12:35 - 13:05
  Practical Application of AI Algorithms in Business
  Dr. Piotr Wiśniewski, - CEO - DBR 77 Robotics sp. z o.o.
  Rapid technological progress is forcing businesses to make changes not only in the field of digitalization, but also in the way they view methods and tools used in conducting business activities. It's time to take a closer look at traditional schemes in a new light! In this presentation, Dr. Piotr Wiśniewski, CEO of Platforma DBR77, will discuss: ✔️ how to execute a process 50% faster, 20% more efficiently, and 30% cheaper, as well as make optimal real-time decisions, ✔️ new technologies used in business, ✔️ benefits of implementing supporting algorithms, ✔️ and Lean 4.0 methodology.
• 13:10 - 13:40
  How to increase PCB depaneling efficiency with Laser Technology
  Thorne Lietz - Senior Sales Manager - InnoLas Solutions GmbH

  Laser depaneling is becoming more widely used since the demand for excellent cutting quality and increasing cost pressure require one to reevaluate the use of traditional production methods. For example, laser depaneling provides the highest technical cleanliness that improves the durability of electronics, increase yield and reduces manufacturing costs. Furthermore, laser technology provides a new path to increase panel efficiency and therefore reduce material waste and costs.

• 13:45 - 14:15
