On December 14th, 2021 at 2.00 pm Dr. Daniele De Vito, Electrolux Italy S.p.A, will hold a seminar titled "Automation and Control Industry Seminar".

“It’s just a washing machine! It should just wash my garments: it’s not a big deal! And what about a tumble dryer? Could we ever imagine any challenging control problem related to those trivial machines?” The seminar will try to deal with the topic, giving an overview of the overall workflow that underlies the design and production of an “apparently” simple household appliance. A description of an international working environment together with its targets will also be depicted and the skills required to join the Team will be shown.

The seminar is organized by the Automation and Control Engineering Degree Programme and primarily intended for students enrolled in the 3rd year of the BSc or in the MSc Degree. The seminar will be held in English.

For information you can contact Prof. Lorenzo Fagiano (lorenzo.fagiano@polimi.it).

The event will take place in live streaming on Webex
