The Taiwan Excellence Pavilion will be at Booth 441 during Automate 2026. There, 23 Taiwan Excellence award-winning companies will showcase 41 products that are shaping the future of intelligent automation via advanced motion control, robotics, industrial computing, edge AI, AIoT, and connected manufacturing technologies.

In this episode of Embedded Insiders, Dr. Kavyashree Keremane, a postdoctoral researcher in materials science and engineering, and Dr. Bed Poudel, a research professor at Penn State University, join the podcast to share their work exploring something that sounds almost futuristic, but is quickly becoming very real: using synthetic DNA as a medium for data storage.

It would seem like a no-brainer to support IoT in various regions. But that’s not necessarily the case. And when you look at how many new applications are popping up, the waters get even muddier. And don’t even get me started on what happens when you try to go wireless. 

Someone who is much closer to the issues/hurdles than I is John Grady, the CEO of Ayla Networks, who joined me on this week’s Embedded Executives podcast.

As the tourism boom continues, scenic destinations continue to attract a steady stream of visitors – with popular attractions often packed and bustling. To help guests get around, many sites operate sightseeing shuttles. However, traditional shuttles rely on human drivers. In crowded environments with complex park roads, drivers inevitably face safety risks such as fatigue, obstructed visibility, and delayed responses to sudden incidents – factors that not only compromise safety but can also detract from the visitor experience.

Hello Embedded Professionals, Engineers, and Developers! Welcome to In Case You Missed it, the weekly news show all about Embedded technologies and solutions from Embedded Computing Design.

Modern manufacturing environments tend to generate massive volumes of data. And yet, many centralized systems will still often struggle to process the data fast enough to support real-time decisions. These latency and infrastructure gaps can create inefficiencies that end up limiting the full potential of Industry 4.0 initiatives.

Northern.tech announced its annual State of Industrial IoT Device Lifecycle Management report. Research includes that organizational ambitions for connected products are running well ahead of the systems built to support them and the gap between business objectives and current device management abilities is no longer a future challenge, it is ongoing.

Edge AI is exceeding the expectations that I had for the technology, at least at this early point in its ramp-up. I had expected it to take longer to reach fruition than it actually has, although you could probably argue that it hasn’t come close to reaching even the beginnings of its potential. 

To understand where Edge AI stands today, where it’s going, and when it could potentially get there, I spoke to John Weil, the Vice President and General Manager for IoT and Edge AI Processors at Synaptics, on this week’s Embedded Executives podcast.

BIWIN is attending COMPUTEX 2026 where it will showcase its innovative enterprise SSDs at Hall 2, Booth 4F, R0102. The company will showcase its SP50Y/51Y and SS821 solutions.
