AUTOMATION DAYS 2023, CALL FOR PAPERS

Automation and machine learning as  enablers for the green transition

28.–29.3.2023 Crowne Plaza Helsinki, Finland

Automation Days 2023 is the Finnish Automation Society’s most important seminar on automation and digitization. In 2023, special attention will be paid to the green transition and machine learning. However, presentations are widely sought in the areas of automation. The seminar is a great networking platform between the education, research and business sectors.

The green transition applies to all application areas of automation, from factories and industrial processes to decentralized energy production and energy-efficient building automation. Smart grids, demand response, bioprocesses, and energy storage and conversion processes will require new control, optimization, time series forecasting, fault diagnosis, and condition monitoring solutions.Advanced automation technologies are available for these purposes, and they are being complemented or even disrupted by machine learning technologies. In particular, companies are challenged to present industrial-scale solutions against which the potential of machine learning can be assessed.

Topics include

• Internet of Things (IoT), edge computing and cloud services
• Artificial intelligence and machine learning
• Education and lifelong learning
• Control theory and systems engineering
• Modeling and simulation
• Human-centered automation
• Digital Twins
• Environmental applications
• Energy solutions
• Process automation and control
• Robotics and machine automation
• Building automation
• Automation and robotics in healthcare
