While IIoT and Industry 4.0 have traditionally focused on sensors, switches, data analytics and connectivity, the next wave of digital manufacturing is powered by energy efficiency. Industrial plants are among the largest electricity users, and reliable power underpins every advanced process. Accord

Data is the lifeblood of autonomous vehicle (AV) development, powering the deep‑learning models that enable self‑driving systems. To stay competitive, AV vendors log millions of miles on public roads, storing petabytes of raw footage. Waymo, for instance, has surpassed 10 million real‑world miles an

Selecting the right switch is often overlooked, yet it can dramatically influence product performance, durability, and brand reputation. While switches are inexpensive and seemingly straightforward, their specifications—size, electrical rating, environmental resilience, and user interaction—vary wid

When the TinyML group convened its inaugural meeting, the first order of business was a simple question: What exactly is TinyML? TinyML is a community of engineers dedicated to making machine learning (ML) run on ultra‑low‑power devices. The initial gathering focused on whether ML can be implemented

XMOS, a leading fabless semiconductor firm, has taken a decisive step toward embedding voice control into everyday devices. Their new XVF3510 voice processor demonstrates how only two microphones can deliver robust, real‑time speech recognition, dramatically reducing cost and size. For context, XMOS

A new industry alliance, the FiRa Consortium, has been formed to advance ultra‑wideband (UWB) technology for highly accurate fine‑ranging applications. The group will develop standards and certifications that guarantee seamless interoperability among chipsets, devices, and service platforms. Driven

Collecting data has never been simpler. With just a few clicks, businesses can tap into the most advanced cloud technologies, ready to capture and store vast amounts of information. Yet, a decade ago, scaling data collection was a privilege reserved for large enterprises that could afford costly ser

According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), approximately 610,000 people die of heart disease in the U.S. every year — that’s one in every four deaths. Cardiac health is one of the most important parameters for a person’s overall health. The internet of medical things (IoMT) is enab

In today’s rapidly evolving technology landscape, keeping up with wireless communication standards can feel daunting—even for seasoned professionals. The sheer variety of protocols and the specific use‑case requirements they address often blur the lines between necessity and innovation. Most people

Since its debut at the 2011 Hannover Fair, Industry 4.0 has evolved from a buzzword into a tangible manufacturing revolution. The real drivers are the explosion of the Internet of Things (IoT) and the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into industrial workflows. In 2012, General Electric in

Amazon Web Services (AWS) stands among the leading cloud platforms for the Internet of Things (IoT), rivaled only by Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud IoT. Smart devices connect to AWS over the Internet, typically using the MQTT protocol, and interact with a rich set of cloud services. Beyond device

The Internet of Things is expanding at an unprecedented pace, driving the projection of a trillion connected devices by 2035—far surpassing today’s data volumes. Smart meters are among the fastest‑growing IoT segments. iHS Markit estimates that Advanced Metering Infrastructure spend will reach $13 b

Despite the proliferation of connected devices, the vast majority of IoT hardware is shipped without robust security. In practice, many lack basic encryption, making them trivial targets for attackers. To quantify the risk and gauge corporate readiness, the third annual “Companies Don’t Know What Th

Embedded devices are increasingly ubiquitous, but each new Internet‑connected product brings fresh privacy concerns. Fortunately, a growing portfolio of off‑the‑shelf silicon and software services can help designers build resistance against intrusion and unauthorized data exposure. The first step is

Audio interfaces are now a staple on industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) single‑board computers (SBCs), spanning analog and digital options. Each interface type brings unique design and testing challenges that must be addressed throughout assembly and production. The goal is to verify the entire si

Aspinity, a Pittsburgh‑based startup founded in 2015, is launching Tuesday a Reconfigurable Analog Modular Processor platform, or RAMP. The ultra‑low‑power, analog processing platform is designed to detect, analyze, and classify raw sensor data—such as voice, alarms, or vibration changes—directly in

SAN JOSE, Calif. — Petal, a two‑year‑old startup, is pioneering a brain‑wave monitoring platform that could enable mobile and cloud leaders to tap into users’ thoughts. The company showcased its technology at the Sensors Expo, where it answered Google’s invitation for smart‑home devices to extend it

GRENOBLE – This year’s Leti Innovation Days, themed “Deep Tech for Edge Artificial Intelligence,” attracted 800 delegates worldwide amid a record heatwave that pushed outdoor temperatures close to 40 °C (104 °F). Hosted on the Minatec campus, the conference featured lectures, workshops, and live dem

In the rapidly evolving Internet‑of‑Things landscape, LoRa and 5G’s Narrowband‑IoT (NB‑IoT) have surged ahead of the broader low‑power wide‑area network (LPWAN) cohort, according to a fresh IHS Markit analysis. While the 4G LTE‑M variant trails, and Sigfox remains a distant follower, the data signal

SUNNYVALE, Calif. – Almost 200 engineers and researchers gathered to launch a community dedicated to advancing TinyML, the emerging field that brings deep learning to ultra‑low‑power systems. “There’s no shortage of innovative ideas,” said Ian Bratt, a machine‑learning fellow at Arm, opening the se
