IEEE Industrial Electronics Society

The IEEE Industrial Electronics Society (IES) is one of the 39 Society of the IEEE[1]. It is one of the oldest societies within IEEE with its roots going back to the early 1950s[2]. The focuses of this Society are on the theory and application of electronics, controls, communications, instrumentation, and computational intelligence to industrial and manufacturing systems and processes. The society oversees the publication of three scientific periodicals that are consistently listed in the top 500 journals worldwide annually ranked according to their impact factor [3].

History
  • February 21, 1951 - First meeting of the IRE Industrial Electronics Group
  • May 8, 1951 - Name change to IRE Professional Group on Industrial Electronics (PG-IE)
  • August 1953 - Published the first volume of the Transactions on Professional Group on Industrial Electronics
  • August 21, 1963 - IRE merged with AIEE and become IEEE. The PG-IE approved the merger of IRE's PG-IE and AIEE's group on control instrumentation (GCI)
  • August 22, 1963 - The merger of the PG-IE and the GCI into Professional Group on Industrial Electronics and Control Instrumentation (PG-IECI) was approved by the IEEE Executive Committee
  • October 14, 1964 - Name change to Group on Industrial Electronics and Control Instrumentation (PG-IECI)
  • 1975 - First IECON was held in Philadelphia. Until then there had been only a sponsored session at the Industry Applications Society Conference
  • March 20, 1978 - Name change to Industrial Electronics and Control Instrumentation Society (IECIS)
  • June 1982 - Name change to Industrial Electronics Society

Field of Interest
  • microprocessors in the 1970s
  • robotics in the 1980s
  • mechatronics and factory automation in the early 1990s
  • industrial information technology in the late 1990s
  • factory communications and automation in the 2000s
