The evolution within a factory or other manufacturing facility has been occurring as long as those establishments have existed. Getting higher yields, more efficient production, etc., is a never-ending goal. To that end, the “smart factory” was born.

The judges have met and the votes are in. I’m pleased to announce the latest round of Embedded Computing Design’s Best in Show winners for the Automate 2023 Show.

For embedded world 2023, MiTAC will be located at hall 2 booth 204 showcasing its series of new generation Edge AI products for different edge AI related applications from deep learning, machine learning, and AI inferencing.

Next-generation technologies like AI are constantly changing the way we see the world, which can be taken quite literally when it comes to vision systems like network video recorders (NVRs) that utilize AI software to connect to the cloud and perform video analytics.

Network video recorders (NVRs) have been around for decades, and they serve many useful purposes. They are often used for video surveillance applications, and are connected to networked cameras. The number of cameras that can be connected is based on many variables, some having to do with the users’ needs and some having to do with the capabilities of the network hardware and software.

Trains continue to travel at higher speeds, go longer distances, and carry more passengers. Without the proper safeguards in place, these facts could result in a less than desirable situation.

The second stop on the road to embedded world lands us in Taoyuan City, Taiwan, at the headquarters of MiTAC.
