Florida Poly and UCF are co-hosts of a distinguished worldwide industrial engineering convention coming to Central Florida.
Prime industrial engineering and operations administration professionals from greater than 40 international locations will collect in Central Florida June Seventeenth-Nineteenth for IEOM Society Worldwide’s tenth North American Worldwide Convention on Industrial Engineering and Operations Administration.
Florida Polytechnic College and the College of Central Florida are co-hosting the occasion in Orlando, bringing collectively business and academia to advance the self-discipline. Florida Poly additionally hosted the worldwide convention in 2022.
“Co-hosting this prestigious convention is a superb alternative for Florida Poly, giving us extra visibility to business and different universities,” mentioned Dr. Shahram Taj, occasion co-chair and chair of the College’s Division of Knowledge Science and Enterprise Analytics. “It’s additionally a useful alternative for networking amongst our school, business practitioners, and school from different universities.”
Convention matters embrace synthetic intelligence, automation and robotics, enterprise and operations administration, entrepreneurship, and sustainability. Keynote audio system embrace professionals from organizations such because the Walt Disney Firm, NASA’s Kennedy Area Middle, Blue Origin, and MIT’s Middle for Transportation and Logistics. Panel discussions will function consultants of their area, together with Florida Poly school similar to Dr. Sanna Siddiqui, Dr. Onur Toker, Dr. Denis Ulybyshev, and Dr. Ian Bentley.
The occasion additionally contains 14 competitions in areas that embrace undergraduate analysis, doctoral dissertation, and world design, with Florida Poly school and college students among the many rivals and distinguished judges.
Tobias Syring, a Florida Poly graduate pupil learning engineering administration as a Fulbright Fellow, has assisted in organizing the Industrial Engineering and Operations Administration (IEOM) Society Worldwide’s occasion.
He additionally helped evaluate submitted educational papers and can ship a presentation on Trade 4.0 and enhancing its effectivity by means of digital twins. Trade 4.0 integrates superior digital applied sciences into manufacturing and industrial processes. Digital twins are digital replicas of bodily methods that simulate occasions with out disrupting the actual system.
“You see what occurs in the actual world within the digital world, so every little thing that might go incorrect can go incorrect within the digital world as nicely,” mentioned Syring, from Rügen, Germany. “You’ll be able to run simulations and see the breaking level within the bodily system to determine easy methods to stop it from occurring.”
Taj mentioned the distinguished worldwide convention is a testomony to Florida Poly’s rising repute within the area.
“We’re proud to assist carry collectively world leaders and innovators to Central Florida to share information and drive progress in industrial engineering and operations administration,” he mentioned.
