Embedded Computing Design

Cloud-to-edge development for real-time applications and compute-intensive tasks requires a suite of solutions encompassing modularity and scalability, high-performance capability, various I/O interfaces, as well as customization opportunities.

As all forms of manufacturing become ever more automated, and creep closer to zero-touch, dark factory floors with little or no human intervention needed, those industrial enterprises are going to need sophisticated compute able to handle machine learning, AI and command and control at the Intelligent Edge. Enter the ASMB-831.

On this episode of Embedded Insiders, Matthias Thoma, Robotics System Manager at Texas Instruments, discusses the current and future impact of robotics in factory and industrial settings, and in the real world. He also highlights the technologies from TI that can help.

Today’s manufacturing facilities are far smarter than those of just a few years ago. The reasons behind that are many:

Arduino microcontroller development boards are one of the most popular solutions among DIY developers, students, and hobbyists/maker pros who are dabbling in and/or seriously pursuing electronics and programming projects like prototyping, IoT, embedded systems, DIY electronics, and simple learning and education pursuits.

Edge computing solutions are designed to bridge the gap between artificial intelligence (AI) and devices at the edge of the network, providing low latency, high-performance AI, real-time processing, security, privacy, and much more.

Self-service technologies are a category of technological solutions designed to perform tasks and transactions independently, without the direct assistance of a human. These technologies have become increasingly prevalent across various industries, ranging from retail and hospitality to healthcare and finance.

Welcome to the fifth installment of Engineering Heroes, sponsored by Wind River, where we take a closer look at the lives of unsung heroes in the world of engineering whose work impacts uncountable lives across the globe.

Infineon extends microcontroller portfolio with PSoC™ Edge family of products, bringing high-performance power-efficient machine learning to the edge.

Here are the nominees for Best in Show at the 2023 RISC-V Summit North America. 

Efficient Edge computing requires high-powered processing paired with robustness, resiliency, and reliability. Without those elements, the whole system is likely to break down, figuratively and literally, at the slightest pressure. It’s also quite likely to get hacked.

Durability, versatility, and customization are commonly the most determining factors regarding the use of open-frame touch monitors in industrial and embedded applications and environments. Eliminating the need for an enclosure or bezel, open-frame touch monitors excel at providing the aforementioned features, while also meeting the demands of rugged environments.

Depending on who you’re conversing with, the “Edge” of the IoT may have different meanings. For the sake of this article, we are going to define it as that last computer that sits between the sensors (where the data is collected) and the Cloud. It’s very close to where the data is obtained and where the action must occur.

Among industrial applications, ESG is becoming more and more important. It’s also one of the key attributes of the NISE 3910 PC from NexAIoT. Based on an Intel12^th /13^th generation Core i3/i5/i7/i9 processor, the fanless platform is aimed at industrial IoT, Edge, and AI applications that demand high CPU and graphics performance. For example, AI and machine learning, or anything that involves Graphics computing and inferencing are prime candidates for the robust platform.

AMRs, or autonomous mobile robots, are becoming more common in the workplace. They can be a perfect fit for industrial and automation applications, given the right controller and software stack. On the hardware side, the system could include a host of sensors, including cameras, radar, lidar, etc. Then on the software side, you obviously need to link al those components together, and be sure you can communication both internally and externally.

On this episode of Embedded Insiders, we’re discussing cyber resiliency with Eric Sivertson, VP of Security at Lattice Semiconductor, specifically highlighting how organizations can benefit from implementing a personalized data security plan, and how FPGAs can help. 

From afar, you may not notice a big difference between the railroad cars today and those that ran down the track a couple of decades ago. However, you can be assured that when you peel back the skin, there are massive differences that have occurred, specifically with respect to the on-board computer systems.
