ISO 42001 (AI Management System) was released in 2023 and ANSI/TIA-942 rev C was published in 2024 with this purpose. Chad will raise the awareness of these latest standard to help organizations conform to best practices. Equally crucial to these technologies are Cybersecurity standards ISO 27001 and SCS 9001. --- ### MORNING  AI AND DATA CENTERS --- 8:40-9:20 Antony John, VP Operations, Omnex Systems   ![antony-john](https://programs.omnex.com/hs-fs/hubfs/antony-john.png?width=80&height=91&name=antony-john.png) Digitalization and AI Tools for eMobility Standards The rise of EV and AVs led to the emergence of various standards - ISO 26262, ASPICE, ISO21434 and ISO 21448 SOTIF. As companies rushed to achieve conformance, legacy tools became slow and insufficient. An enterprise suite powered by AI will be introduced for unprecedented speed and efficiency. 9:20-9:50 Yuri Mitnick, H/W Engineering Technical Leader, Cisco   ![yuri-mitnick](https://programs.omnex.com/hs-fs/hubfs/yuri-mitnick.png?width=80&height=91&name=yuri-mitnick.png) Data Center Quality and Reliability  Data centers impose stringent quality and reliability and fast time to quality requirements for HPC and networking systems. In this session, we will review challenges in component and system development for data centers and address solutions. 9:50-10:20 Mike Regan,VP Business Performance, Telecom Industry Association   ![mike-regan-1](https://programs.omnex.com/hs-fs/hubfs/mike-regan-1.png?width=80&height=91&name=mike-regan-1.png) An introduction to TIA Quality and Security Management Systems and their application to modern data centers   TIA, the Trusted Industry Association, has a mission of securing global networks.   Through the contributions of our ICT industry subject matter experts, we have developed a catalog of standards for the network operators and their suppliers.  In this session, our standards with use cases and applications for modern data centers will be introduced with an overview of their capabilities and the advantages gained by adopters.  10:20-11:20 Coffee and Networking Break 11:20-12   PANEL DISCUSSION Initiating a Data Center Quality Management System Standard Panel Members: Chad Kymal, Omnex Founder/CTO Mike Regan, VP Business Performance, Telecom Industry Association Yuri Mitnick, H/W Eng Technical Leader, Cisco **Moderator**: Eric Heilmann, Consultant, Omnex (previously at NVIDIA and Dell) 12-1 PM   LUNCH BREAK --- ### AFTERNOON EMOBILITY  --- 1-1:30  Andrew Smagala, Manager, Battery Controls, Lyten    ![andrew-smagala](https://programs.omnex.com/hs-fs/hubfs/andrew-smagala.png?width=80&height=91&name=andrew-smagala.png) Battery Control Methods for Quality and Reliability   Lyten battery process control methods include data infrastructure to ensure end-to-end traceability and real-time feedback from field performance. Methods for high-resolution data acquisition and tight control of key process parameters to ensure product performance, quality, and reliability will be discussed. 1:30-2  Juan Pimentel, Principal Cybersecurity Consultant, Omnex   ![juan-pimentel-1](https://programs.omnex.com/hs-fs/hubfs/juan-pimentel-1.png?width=80&height=91&name=juan-pimentel-1.png) Cybersecurity and SOTIF: Securing the future of transportation   Connected Car Technologies exposes EVs and AVs to Cybersecurity  threats. This session will provide insights into various Cybersecurity standards that must be a key requirement of every EV and AV manufacturer.   2-2:30  Joy Gandhi, Managing Director, Semiconductors, Omnex   ![joy-gandhi](https://programs.omnex.com/hs-fs/hubfs/joy-gandhi.png?width=80&height=91&name=joy-gandhi.png) LiDARS: Solving the Functional Safety, Quality and Reliability Dilemma    LiDARs are now globally recognized as an integral part of the sensor fusion for autonomous vehicles. Diligence in quality, reliability and functional safety is therefore imperative given the complexity and the inherent risk of new technologies that have emerged. Achieving ISO 26262 ASIL D remains a challenge for LiDARs. A viable path to the achievement of this required ASIL will be discussed.  2:30-3:15 Coffee and Networking Break 3:15-3:45  Nikhil Unnikrishnan, Director EV/AV Programs, Omnex    ![nikhil-unnikrishnan](https://programs.omnex.com/hs-fs/hubfs/nikhil-unnikrishnan.png?width=80&height=91&name=nikhil-unnikrishnan.png) Updates to ISO 26262, ASPICE, SOTIF, ISO 21434 This presentation provides latest update on eMobility standards ISO 26262, ASPICE, ISO 21434 and introduces the newest addition to these standards, ISO 21448, SOTIF.  3:45-4:45   PANEL DISCUSSION Security, Quality, Reliability and Functional Safety in EVs and AVs  Panel Members: Andrew Smagala, Battery Control Manager, Lyten  Nirav Dharia, Sr Staff Sensor Architect, Google Waymo  Greg Gruska, Omnex ISO 26262 Champion and ASQ Fellow  Juan Pimentel, Principal Cybersecurity Consultant Omnex Joy Gandhi, Managing Director, Semiconductor and High Tech, Omnex **Moderator**: Eric Heilmann, Consultant, Omnex (previously at NVIDIA and Dell) 4:45-5 PM   Closing Remarks: Chad Kymal  4:45 ADJOURN ![Since-1985-1](https://programs.omnex.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Since-1985-1.png?width=150&height=153&name=Since-1985-1.png "Since-1985-1") ![omnex logo-3](https://programs.omnex.com/hs-fs/hubfs/omnex%20logo-3.jpg?width=200&height=100&name=omnex%20logo-3.jpg "omnex logo-3") ## DRIVING WORLDWIDE EXCELLENCE  [![logo-v2-1](https://programs.omnex.com/hs-fs/hubfs/logo-v2-1.png?width=180&height=42&name=logo-v2-1.png "logo-v2-1")](https://www.omnex.com/) © 2023 Omnex Inc.
