Winners have been chosen based on a 15-point rubric that considers solutions’ Design Excellence (5 points), Relative Performance (5 points), and Market Impact/Disruption (5 points).

Aplex Technology, an industrial computer products solutions provider based in Taiwan, will be exhibiting at Embedded World showing off its vast product array. On display will be the company’s latest embedded systems and solutions for smart medical, food automation, smart manufacturing, transportation, and marine applications.

With a goal of bringing power efficiency, small size, and high performance to mid-range FPGAs, Lattice’s Avant architecture fits the bill while adding in advanced connectivity. Applications that can surely take advantage of this feature set include communications, computing, industrial, and automotive. Specifically, Avant is up to 2.5x lower power than similar class competitive devices; up to 2x faster throughput at lower power than similar class competitive devices; and up to 6x smaller package size compared to similar class competitive devices.

Automotive and industrial applications are increasingly integrating short-range wireless connectivity into their environments. However, these applications often deal with space constraints that can benefit from a small-scale solution that delivers flexible, advanced wireless connectivity to smart connected devices powered by embedded processors.

Our last stop on the road to embedded world ends at the embedded world Conference with a discussion between Embedded Computing Design's EVP, Rich Nass, and Axel Sikora, Chairman of the embedded world Conference.

The new SYN4382 Triple Combo 2 system on chip (SoC) is the second generation of Synaptics’ award-winning platform that integrates Wi-Fi 6/6E, Bluetooth 5.3 (BT 5.3), and IEEE 802.15.4 radios with built-in support for the Thread protocol and the Matter application layer.

Synaptics Resonate^TM is a game-changing solution for embedded system designers that uses piezoelectric transducers mounted on the rear of the display to generate and project audio directly outward from the glass surface, while also providing haptic feedback and touch pressure sensing.

onsemi’s AR0822 is an innovative image sensor that produces extraordinarily high-quality 4K video at 60 frames-per-second. It’s designed specifically to offer high performance in applications with challenging lighting conditions such as consumer/commercial security cameras, robotics, and industrial machine vision.

The direct viewing miniature near-eye system intelligent mini OLEDs combines a lens with a patented module design. The simple structure and low assembly cost enable rapid development of near-eye display devices for terminal manufacturers.

A major component of indoor air pollution consists of fine dust known as PM2.5 particulates. These are inhaled and enter the lungs, where they can cause serious health problems. The most common air quality measurement stations only provide outdoor data, which fails to deliver real-time, localized information most relevant to our health.

Patent pending, AnCyR (Anomaly Detection and Cyber-Resilience) host-based software anomaly detection technology provides a real-time front line of defense for embedded connected devices. Based on five years of research at the University of Arizona with support from the National Science Foundation, AnCyR combines statistical, probabilistic, and machine learning algorithms to accurately detect attacks with best-in-class false positives, latency, and overhead.

Cybellum is where teams do product security for mission-critical devices. With an extensive platform to match the needs of specific industries and the individual needs of their products, managers and their teams can rely on dashboards, vulnerability updates, SBOM management, and automating compliance report generation.

Emproof Nyx is 3 orders of magnitude smaller than existing solutions, making it the ideal solution for embedded devices based on ARM, Intel and RISC-V ISAs. No access to source code is needed as the transformational software acts like a post compilation step and just requires access to binary code or libraries, which also means that it works with any build processes and all existing toolchains.

Exein Runtime is a cutting-edge runtime threat detection and response solution (XDR) for Linux and RTOS-based IoT systems. It defends IoT devices against all types of cyber threats and facilitates real-time detection and response to known and unknown attacks.

Exein Analyzer is a powerful security platform that helps organizations identify and address cybersecurity threats in their IoT devices. By integrating with asset identification tools, Exein Analyzer makes it easy to scan the security of your entire IoT fleet.

OPTIGA™ TPM SLB 9673 is a ready-to-use TPM optimized for embedded systems featuring I2C interface and a PQC-protected firmware update mechanism. It is the latest addition to Infineon´s OPTIGA™ TPM family targeted at connected devices that require enhanced security features.

Taking device security to the next level, Digi ConnectCore® Security Services are a collection of advanced services and tools that ensure the security of products during their entire lifecycle — solving the challenge of keeping products secure after release. ConnectCore Security Services include the analysis and monitoring of a custom software bill of material (SBOM) and binary image running on Digi ConnectCore SOMs for security risks and vulnerabilities.

The embedded world exhibition and conference is back and as always, so are our Best in Show Awards. Below are the nominees for the best products of 2023, judged by the Embedded Computing Design staff. Nominees are split into technology categories and judged based on a 15-point rubric that considers solutions’ Design Excellence (5 points), Relative Performance (5 points), and Market Impact/Disruption (5 points). 

With up to 1TB capacity, the BIWIN PCIe Gen4 BGA SSD EP400 comes with the high-speed PCIe 4.0 x 2 to deliver up to 3500 MB/s read and 3300 MB/s write — with dimensions of just 11.5 mm (L) x 13 (W) mm. The storage solution is known for great performance, large capacities, smaller size, lower power consumption, and lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) — all of which contribute to a better experience with mobile applications.
