Welcome from the Conference Chair
Sensors are vital components of smart manufacturing, artificial Intelligence, Cyber–Physical System (CPS) and Internet of Things (IoT) for industry 4.0. For more advanced creations, biologists, engineers, physicists and chemists are all endeavoring to provide innovative technical sensors. This year, 2018, the well-known journal, Sensors, is going to hold the international conference in Kenting, which is located in the south of Taiwan—taking place in Asia for the first time. I3S embraces all professionals from industry, academia and government to discuss the latest developments and breakthroughs of sensor technology and related subjects. During the conference, attendees, from a range of research areas, will all gather together to share different aspects and establish new mutually beneficial collaborations across different fields.
We sincerely look forward to your participation in I3S2018.

Conference Venue

Kenting
Kenting National Park, Taiwan's first national park, is bounded by the Pacific Ocean on three sides, the Pacific ocean to the east, the Taiwan Strait to the west and Bashi Channel to the south. The Park embraces land both above and below water. Located over an area of significant tectonic activity, this part of Taiwan is home to many unique geological features, including uplifted coral beds, ocean erosion, and fault line rifts. Geography and tropical climate have together created a rich and varied natural canvas, which today helps define Kenting's special place among Taiwan's national parks. In addition to geology, natural attractions of particular interest in the park include rarely seen coastal plants, the annual autumn overflight of migratory birds from northern Asia, and beautiful living coral reefs.
For a complete overview, see Kenting National Park.

PalmSens BV was founded in 2001 by Dr. Kees van Velzen, one of the driving forces in the field of potentiostat digitalization in the late 80’s and 90’s. PalmSens was the first company to reduce a research grade potentiostats to a size that fits in your pocket.
At PalmSens we are committed to make electrochemistry easier, more portable and more accessible for novice and advanced researchers.
We provide a comprehensive range of instruments for most types of electrochemistry with an emphasis on mobility and cost. We manufacture the world’s smallest commercially available potentiostat: the EmStat. While our unique flagship device, the PalmSens4, is one of the most compact frequency response analyzers (FRA) / EIS capable devices in the market.
Embedded solutions (OEM)
We have extensive experience as an OEM partner providing instruments for integration into dedicated electrochemical applications. Our EmStat Starter Kit includes an EmStat potentiostat as a small module and comes with communication protocols and an optional software development kit for .NET.
