When you bring video into an AI-based application, you’ve upped the ante in terms of amount of data that’s being collected many times over. Does all the data need to be processed? How do you know what’s good data and what’s not? And do you need to write your own algorithms, or can you depend on the MCU supplier? The answer to these questions is, “it depends.” Check out this webinar where we try to simplify some of these extremely complex areas.

The decision to implement wireless networks in an industrial setting can be a tricky one: performance is not always guaranteed, and security risks prevail. In this webinar, we will look at the various technologies that are available, including Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, ZigBee, 5G, and others. We’ll look at what tradeoffs are associated with each, and which one is best for your application. This includes the investment in both hardware and software, as well as the futureproofing that’s desired for the long-life applications in the industrial and embedded arenas.

Communications between devices and systems must occur with minimal latency to ensure seamless operations. In environments like autonomous assembly lines or robotics applications, delays can lead to defects or downtime. A key concern is ensuring network resilience even in harsh industrial environments, potentially fraught with interference or physical barriers. Potential solutions include deploying higher speed interfaces and networks, and/or implementing robust wireless networks and optimizing communication protocols. This session will look at the options that are available to developers, and the tradeoffs associated with each.
