Pilot Lines & Photonics Innovation Hubs Breakfast
San Francisco, CA, USA



THE PILOT LINES BREAKFAST & PHOTONICS INNOVATION HUBS BREAKFAST is a networking event addressed to companies interested in participating in the collective effort of Europe to introduce new photonic products into the big markets such as telecommunications, medical and security. A great opportunity to interact with the technology experts and decision makers of companies working in photonics and to learn how the Pilot Lines in Photonics can help your company in scaling up the production of the new photonic devices.

Agenda and Description

 

JePPIX Pilot Line is the EC Manufacturing Pilot Line project for photonic integrated circuits. InPulse is the Indium-Phosphide Pilot Line for up-scaled, low-barrier, self-sustained, PIC ecosystem. InP photonic integrated circuits (PICs) offer game changing performance capabilities across multiple market sectors. InPulse is the EC Manufacturing Pilot Line which puts in place the technological and operational processes to:
1) Accelerate the uptake of PIC technology in new markets
2) Align scalable and inter-locking services and value chains
3) Accelerate time to market with predictive design for fewer and faster design cycles
4) Offer foundry processes at TRL7, sharing process optimization across products

MedPhab is Europe’s first Pilot Line dedicated to manufacturing, testing, validation and up-scaling of new photonics technologies for medical applications ranging from diagnostics to surgical tools and therapeutics. The purpose of MedPhab pilot production line is to accelerate the commercialisation of diagnostic devices and instruments for treatment based on photonics, and to reduce the R&D costs. The chosen areas are devices intended for hospital use (assist doctors), home care devices (monitoring patient) and equipment for chemical diagnostics (based on use of serum, saliva or urine sample). MedPhab will also provide seamless transition from pilot line production to up-scaled production without a need for changing service providers. Use-case companies have been selected for the validation of the pilot line services covering both in-vivo and in-vitro domains.

PHABULOuS is the new European Pilot Line providing highly advanced & robust manufacturing technology for optical free-form ΞΌ-structures. It will unify Europe’s leading Companies and Research & Technology Organizations (RTOs) into a self-sustainable pilot line for the design and manufacturing of free-form micro-optical solutions. These latter components will be integrated into high added-value devices, spanning from micro displays for augmented reality, to innovative systems for professional, automotive, and transportation lighting to optical effects for luxury. The PHABULOuS consortium will synchronize its efforts to translate urgent and high-impact industrial needs into industrially relevant predictive software packages, manufacturing tools and processes, characterization methods for quality inspection and integration schemes, all necessary for the successful demonstration of this technology in pre-commercial production runs.

PhotonHub will establish a single photonics innovation hub which integrates all of the best-in-class photonics technologies, facilities, expertise, and experience of 53 top competence centres across Europe under one roof as a one-stop-shop solution with open access for any company anywhere in Europe that wants to innovate with photonics.

Laser-Based Advanced and Additive Manufacturing (LBAAM) can radically change many industries and provide maximal benefits towards flexible manufacturing and highly digitalized production environments.
PULSATE will support companies with their implementation of LBAAM technologies with a focus on sectors where LBAAM technology is particularly beneficial, like aerospace, automotive, medical devices, industrial machinery, customised electronics, and textile clothing.
