I recently attended MWC Shanghai, where robots dominated the floor—massive, cutting‑edge machines that companies showcased in hopes of securing a foothold in a rapidly expanding market. One standout was Tug, a mobile robot nurse that looks more like a wheeled box than a sci‑fi android. Yet it carrie

In 2023 the Raspberry Pi Foundation released the Compute Module 3 (CM3), a professional‑grade board that has become a cornerstone in industrial automation, control systems and consumer electronics. While the Foundation limits use of the Raspberry Pi trademark in commercial marketing, the board’s pop

Automotive chip makers regularly tout their system‑on‑chips (SoCs) built for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). Yet, without objective metrics, stakeholders—reporters, analysts, and most critically, automakers—find it nearly impossible to distinguish one ADAS SoC from another. In practice, t

We’ve all heard of the Internet of Things (IoT) and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). While IoT typically serves consumer applications, IIoT drives industrial operations, linking operational technology (OT) with enterprise systems, business processes, and advanced analytics. According to the

Editor’s Note: Embedded Linux is becoming the backbone of the Internet of Things, and device drivers are the bridge between applications and hardware. In “Linux Device Drivers Development,” author John Madieu offers a detailed, code‑rich guide to building these drivers. This excerpt—Chapter 14 of t

As safety and reliability become paramount in IIoT deployments, the industry now demands that the highest level of trust be baked into the very silicon that powers devices. Historically, security controls were applied at the PC or gateway level, but today the most effective defense is to embed trust

BOULDER CREEK, Calif. — Industrial control systems (ICS) and operational technology (OT) are experiencing a dramatic uptick in cyberattacks, according to leading security experts. What makes the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) so vulnerable? We spoke with senior specialists from top cybersecuri

What Is the Industrial Internet of Things? The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) differs from consumer IoT by integrating operational technology—such as industrial control systems (ICS)—with enterprise IT, business workflows, and analytics. Unlike traditional OT environments, IIoT devices are wid

Prior to the IoT boom, embedded device design was relatively straightforward: a microcontroller handled input, performed basic processing, and drove outputs. Devices were isolated, and hacking incentives were minimal. The rise of smartphones set a new benchmark—devices are now expected to be intelli

Addressing Training Bias in AI: IBM’s AI Fairness 360 Toolkit Fairness is a cornerstone of responsible artificial intelligence. Yet, defining and enforcing it remains a complex challenge—especially when the technology is used in high‑stakes domains such as healthcare, hiring, and autonomous vehicles

The LoRa Alliance and OMS‑Group have announced a joint liaison to standardize smart metering IoT applications by combining the Open Metering System (OMS) language with LoRaWAN networking. The new specification simplifies integration for utilities, driving higher ROI. “Standardization is absolutely e

Telecom infrastructure owners face a common challenge: how to share assets securely while unlocking new revenue streams. The solution is to layer a software stack over the network, tokenize physical assets, and open them up in a marketplace. Cell‑Stack: Weaver Labs’ Software Platform UK‑based Weave

After a sluggish start, notably in Europe, the pace of adoption of industrial internet of things (IIoT) networks and the IIoT’s more consumer-facing relative, the IoT, has picked up. The outlook is brighter — albeit with bumps along the way. Companies focusing on designing and manufacturing

As cities rebound from pandemic‑induced traffic lull, the convergence of artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things (IoT) offers a credible path to eliminate congestion, lower emissions, and improve road safety. San Francisco’s recent data shows that weekend freeway traffic has nearly return

Adopting a Zero‑Trust Security Model: A Practical Guide for Modern Enterprises (Source: rawpixel.com @ freepik.com) The shift to a distributed workforce has redefined what it means to secure a business. No longer can companies rely solely on a physical perimeter; cyber threats now span cloud servic

Wireless commissioning is the first, critical step in an IoT device’s lifecycle. It spans unboxing, configuration, connection, and secure provisioning. For the end‑user, the ideal experience is frictionless: open the box, tap a button, and the device is ready to operate. Any complexity—long instruct

Wireless technology is supplanting manual, error‑prone commissioning in wired smart‑building networks, enabling a single‑scan setup of end nodes. Buildings are increasingly adopting wireless solutions, delivering significant value to occupants while creating new revenue streams for installers and OE

In the evolving IoT landscape, two persistent challenges—interoperability across a sea of standards and robust security—continue to hinder widespread adoption in smart homes and commercial building automation. OCF‑over‑Thread, engineered by Cascoda, tackles both issues head‑on. As a certifiable end‑

The internet has evolved from a research‑centric communication network into the backbone of modern commerce, communication, and daily life. Today, stakeholders face a new wave of change: the rapid proliferation of interconnected, intelligent mobile devices. The Internet of Things (IoT) relies on bil

Miniature detector switches are becoming essential components in smart devices, offering compact size, robust performance, and versatile design options. Electronic Products, in partnership with EDN, has launched its back‑to‑basics electronic component series featuring electromechanical switches. Our
