Embedded Computing Design

At Venetian Expo Booth #50752, intoPIX will demonstrate its innovations in real-time, low-power image processing and video compression for manufacturing applications during CES 2026. The company is also celebrating its 20th anniversary and an Emmy Award acknowledging its dedication to the JPEG XS standard.

Accenture has agreed to acquire a 65 percent interest in US-based AI data center engineering and consulting firm DLB Associates and its affiliated companies (collectively “DLB”). The purchase will extend Accenture’s end-to-end data center abilities.

There are lots of different ways that IoT devices can communicate. In some instances, that’s a good thing. But in other cases, it’s hindering the growth of IoT devices. And that’s a problem, at least according to Mike Rohrmoser, a Vice President at Digi. 

In this week’s Embedded Executives podcast, Mike explains how protocols are evolving and what needs to occur to ensure interoperability between all devices, including those that may have been in the field for decades.

Cincoze released its scalable DIN-Rail computer series, MD-3000, the first sku of the Machine Computing MAGNET product line. The MD-3000 series is designed for vision-driven smart manufacturing applications.

Bluetooth Channel Sounding is a method of precisely measuring the distance between two Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) devices, down to just a few centimeters. In simple terms, it lets one device know exactly how far away another is. The technology relies on two complementary techniques: Phase-Based Ranging (PBR) and Round-Trip Time (RTT).

Cirrus Logic released its new family of closed-loop haptic drivers, its CS40L51, CS40L52, and CS40L53, the company’s first haptic driver solutions compliant with AEC-Q100 automotive standard. The released solutions are moving Cirrus Logic’s proficiency within consumer electronics to automotive applications with the goal of bringing more consistency to in-cabin interfaces.

In this PSOC Edge demo, we will demonstrate how PSOC Edge enables the industry-leading face identification for smart home and industrial applications. With built-in AI acceleration, DEEPCRAFT Face ID solution offers personalization and authentication for smart home applications at ultra-low power.

In Part 1 and Part 2, we looked at how EDF and PI scheduling support real-time database behavior, and why true timing guarantees also depend on precise measurement, predictable rollback, well-placed verification points, and profiling on real hardware.

One of the toughest challenges with solving predictive maintenance, enabled by AI, is that there is usually no data available for training the system. Modern equipment may not break down for 5 years or more so there is insufficient data when the product is first launched on when and how it will break down. But AI systems using traditional methods such as Deep Learning can only operate when sufficiently large volumes of data are available for training the system and hence, they are incapable of addressing this problem.

Avalue Technology Inc. announced the ECM-ASL3 3.5-inch industrial single-board computer compatible with Intel Alder Lake-N, Amston Lake, and even Twin Lake platforms permitting rapid upgrades to product lines with minimal adjustments. The solution is ideal for edge AI, smart manufacturing, automation, automotive equipment and medical monitoring.
