IEEE Industrial Electronics Society (IES)

What IEEE Industrial Electronics Society (IES) does

IEEE Industrial Electronics Society (IES) is a technical society within IEEE, founded in 1950 and currently celebrating its 75th anniversary in 2026. Headquartered in Piscataway, New Jersey, with 99 employees, IES focuses on the application of electronics, controls, communications, instrumentation, and computational intelligence to industrial and manufacturing systems. It serves a global membership of students, young professionals, academics, researchers, and industry practitioners across more than 60 countries and all 10 IEEE regions, supported by over 100 local chapters.

IES operates a portfolio of six publications distributed through IEEE Xplore: IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics (TIE), IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics (TII), IEEE Transactions on Industrial Cyber-Physical Systems (TICPS, which received its first JCR Impact Factor of 7.4 in June 2026), IEEE Journal of Emerging and Selected Topics in Industrial Electronics (JESTIE), IEEE Open Journal of the Industrial Electronics Society (OJIES), and Industrial Electronics Magazine. It organizes major conferences including IECON (its flagship annual conference), INDIN, ICIT, ISIE, ONCON (the online conference), and the Student and Young Professionals Congress, with conference bids scheduled through 2030. Technical committees cover areas such as Responsible AI and Transportation Electrification, and the Hubs and Nodes Initiative connects industry and academia through regional events (e.g., the E-Mobility Industry-Academia Conclave in Surat, India, June 2026).

Revenue is generated primarily through IEEE membership fees, conference registrations (e.g., INDIN 2026 priced at 1,200-1,500 AUD for regular attendees, with tiered IEEE member and student rates), and publication subscriptions distributed via IEEE Xplore. Distribution relies on IEEE's global infrastructure: the IEEE Xplore marketplace, IEEE membership acquisition, direct conference registration, and the chapter network. The society is governed by an Administrative Committee under elected officers and is supported by IEEE as its parent nonprofit. Geographic footprint spans North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America.

Direct peers

• IFAC (International Federation of Automatic Control): Global non-profit federation for automatic control, organizing the triennial World Congress and numerous symposia. Closest international peer to IES outside the IEEE umbrella, with comparable scholarly publishing, conference portfolio, and membership society structure spanning industrial and applied control.
• IEEE Power Electronics Society (PELS): Sibling IEEE society focused on power electronics, which is a core sub-discipline of industrial electronics. Operates a similar portfolio of journals (IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics), flagship conferences (ECCE, APEC), and chapters, and competes directly with IES for authors and conference papers in overlapping power conversion topics.
• IEEE Industry Applications Society (IAS): IEEE society covering the application of electrical and electronic systems in industry. Publishes IEEE Transactions on Industry Applications and runs annual conferences (IEEE IAS Annual Meeting) with overlapping scope in industrial drives, automation, and manufacturing systems — the most direct competitor to IES's industrial electronics charter.
• IEEE Communications Society (ComSoc): IEEE society for communications engineering with a large journal and conference portfolio. Industrial communications and factory networking (e.g., INDIN topics) overlap with ComSoc's portfolio, making it a peer in conference sponsorship and in industrial-IoT publication competition.
• IEEE Control Systems Society (CSS): IEEE society focused on control theory, systems, and applications. Publishes IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control and runs CDC, ACC, and MSC — premier venues that overlap heavily with IES's intelligent control and industrial systems scope and compete for the same academic authors.
• IEEE Industrial Electronics Society Senior Members & Members of the AdCom: Internal IEEE comparator: many IEEE societies (e.g., PELS, IAS, RAS, CSS, ComSoc) share the same author pool, IEEE Xplore distribution, and conference sponsorship model as IES, making them the most direct benchmarking set for IES on submissions, impact factor, and revenue.
• IEEE Robotics and Automation Society (RAS): IEEE society advancing robotics and automation research, with journals (IEEE Transactions on Robotics, IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters) and major conferences (ICRA, IROS). Robotics and factory automation are central themes of IES conferences, making RAS a peer in content, author base, and conference sponsorship competition.

Broad incumbents

• ACM (Association for Computing Machinery): World's largest international computing society, publishing the ACM Digital Library across all computing disciplines. As AI, cyber-physical systems, and industrial informatics increasingly intersect with mainstream computing, ACM is a broad incumbent that competes with IES for high-impact papers and conference contributions in compute-adjacent industrial topics.
• Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET): UK-based international professional engineering body publishing journals (IET Control Theory & Applications, IET Power Electronics) and organizing conferences across electrical, electronic, and manufacturing engineering. Comparable to IES as a multi-disciplinary scholarly society serving overlapping author and subscriber audiences.

Others

• ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers): Large US engineering society with manufacturing and automation programs that intersect with industrial electronics at the mechatronics and smart manufacturing boundary. An adjacent, thematically related society rather than a direct competitor, but a frequent co-organizer and cross-publisher for industrial automation events.
