SAL Team Wins Best Paper Award at WFCS 2026

At WFCS 2026, the SAL team received the Best Paper Award and, together with its part­ners, demon­strated how strong collab­o­ra­tion drives inno­va­tion in indus­trial commu­ni­ca­tion.

On the WFCS Conference 2026 Silicon Austria Labs (SAL), together with its partners AGILOX and Johannes Kepler University Linz, impressively demonstrated the potential of cooperative research in the field of industrial communication technologies.

A major high­light of the confer­ence was the Best Paper Award, presented to Tim Johansson, Fjolla Ademaj-Berisha, Roya Khan­zadeh, Andreas Springer, Damir Hami­dović, Bern­hard Etzlinger, Leon Horn and Hans-Peter Bern­hard. The award recog­nizes outstanding scien­tific contri­bu­tion and inno­va­tion in the field.

In addi­tion to this achieve­ment, SAL contributed to the confer­ence with:

• Three peer-reviewed paper presen­ta­tions
• A live demon­stra­tion devel­oped in collab­o­ra­tion with Infi­neon Tech­nolo­gies and AGILOX, show­casing applied re­search in action
• An industry session fostering exchange between acad­emia and industry
• A tech­nical tuto­rial deliv­ered in collab­o­ra­tion with Univer­sity of Stuttgart

These activ­i­ties under­line SAL’s commit­ment to bridging cutting-edge re­search and real-world indus­trial appli­ca­tions.

WFCS 2026 once again high­lighted the impor­tance of strong part­ner­ships in driving inno­va­tion and shaping the future of indus­trial commu­ni­ca­tion systems.
