IES Standards Committee

Overview

This is the information site for the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society (IES) standards technical committee. Standards include formal standards such as IEEE 802.11 (WiFi) and industry standards such as the high definition media Blu-ray. Our society includes standards in communication, computing, and other industry technologies infrastructure areas.

Standards impact both industry and research. Businesses must decide if they choose to utilize a standard in a product development such as using IEEE 802.11 for radio communication. This decision may impact the acceptance of the product in industry. Research may alter their focus with changes in standards. For example, a factory automation project requiring high definition media could alter their technology of choice with the recent acceptance of Blu-ray as the single industry standard in this area.

The objectives of technical committee on standards are:

Formulate, maintain and grow committee participation with key industry membership along with interested researchers.

Enumerate and follow standards activity potentially of interest to the industry electronics society membership focused on the IES subject areas.

Identify and distinguish activities in these standards that may impact the work (academic and industry) directions of society membership.
