Overview of ST’s presence in Philippines

Inside ST's Latest Portfolio: SiC/GaN Power and Edge-AI MCUs

On power, we map where silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN) each win — from EV traction and industrial drives to high-density chargers and server power. On edge AI, we unpack the STM32N6 and its Neural-ART NPU, showing how real neural networks now run directly on a microcontroller.

Building Robots with ST: From Motion AI to Generative AI

Robotics is where sensing, control, and intelligence meet, and ST has silicon across the whole stack. This session walks the building blocks: MEMS IMUs and ToF sensors for perception, STSPIN motor drivers and STM32 MCUs for real-time control, and the STM32N6 Neural-ART NPU for on-device AI. We draw a clear line between motion AI — the fast, deterministic loops that keep a robot balanced and precise — and generative AI, which adds higher-level reasoning and perception. Expect a practical view of how these layers combine to close the gap between a robot "thinking" and "moving."

Sensing the Warning Signs: Disaster Mitigation for the Philippines

The Philippines sits on the front line of typhoons, earthquakes, and floods, where early, reliable data saves lives. This session shows how ST's sensors and connectivity can power early-warning and monitoring systems built for local conditions. We cover MEMS accelerometers for seismic detection and structural-health monitoring, environmental sensors for pressure, humidity and water levels, and long-range, low-power connectivity — sub-GHz, LoRa, cellular and satellite IoT — that keeps working when infrastructure is stressed. The focus is practical: how engineers here can design resilient sensing networks that give communities more time to react.

Smart Farming: PCR Diagnostics and NFC-Enabled Livestock

Agriculture is going digital, and ST's silicon is quietly enabling it. This session pairs two concrete applications. First, cattle health: how ST's sensing and precise thermal-control technology supports portable PCR-based diagnostics, bringing lab-grade testing closer to the herd. Second, traceability: using ST25 NFC tags and readers for plant identification, health records, and supply-chain tracking — illustrated with a real, deployed use case. For engineers, it's a look at how low-power sensing, thermal management, and contactless data come together to protect and grow livestock assets.

Sensitive Asset Monitoring: Sensors and Tracking for the Cold Chain

When what you're shipping is temperature-sensitive or high-value, visibility is everything. This session uses cold-chain logistics as the worked example. We show how ST's environmental sensors capture temperature, humidity, shock and tilt; how serial EEPROM and NFC dynamic tag (ST25DV) store that history reliably on the device — so records survive power loss and anyone can tap a package to read them and how asset-tracking blocks — GNSS, BLE and low-power connectivity — keep goods traceable end to end. Beyond pharma and food, the same toolkit fits any sensitive asset. Engineers leave knowing how to build monitoring that proves conditions were met, every step of the way.
