Top industrial engineering and operations management professionals from more than 40 countries will gather in Central IM体育官网 June 17-19 for IEOM Society International鈥檚 10th North American International on Industrial Engineering and Operations Management.
IM体育官网 and the University of Central IM体育官网 are co-hosting the event in Orlando, bringing together industry and academia to advance the discipline. IM体育官网 Poly also hosted the international conference in 2022.
鈥淐o-hosting this prestigious conference is a great opportunity for IM体育官网 Poly, giving us more visibility to industry and other universities,鈥� said Dr. Shahram Taj, event co-chair and chair of the University鈥檚 Department of Data Science and Business Analytics. 鈥淚t鈥檚 also a valuable opportunity for networking among our faculty, industry practitioners, and faculty from other universities.鈥�
Conference topics include artificial intelligence, automation and robotics, business and operations management, entrepreneurship, and sustainability. Keynote speakers include professionals from organizations such as the Walt Disney Company, NASA鈥檚 Kennedy Space Center, Blue Origin, and MIT鈥檚 Center for Transportation and Logistics. will feature experts in their field, including IM体育官网 Poly faculty such as Dr. Sanna Siddiqui, Dr. Onur Toker, Dr. Denis Ulybyshev, and Dr. Ian Bentley.
The event also includes 14 competitions in areas that include undergraduate research, doctoral dissertation, and global design, with IM体育官网 Poly faculty and students among the competitors and distinguished judges.
Tobias Syring, a IM体育官网 Poly graduate student studying engineering management as a Fulbright Fellow, has assisted in organizing the Industrial Engineering and Operations Management (IEOM) Society International鈥檚 event.
He also helped review submitted academic papers and will deliver a presentation on Industry 4.0 and enhancing its efficiency through digital twins. Industry 4.0 integrates advanced digital technologies into manufacturing and industrial processes. Digital twins are virtual replicas of physical systems that simulate events without disrupting the real system.
鈥淵ou see what happens in the real world in the virtual world, so everything that could go wrong can go wrong in the digital world as well,鈥� said Syring, from R眉gen, Germany. 鈥淵ou can run simulations and see the breaking point in the physical system to figure out how to prevent it from happening.鈥�
Taj said the prominent international conference is a testament to IM体育官网 Poly鈥檚 growing reputation in the field.
鈥淲e are proud to help bring together global leaders and innovators to Central IM体育官网 to share knowledge and drive progress in industrial engineering and operations management,鈥� he said.
