In this interview from SPS 2025 in Nuremberg, TDK’s product marketing manager for power capacitors explains how new flat-winding constructions and optimized polypropylene and high-temperature film systems enable operation up to 105 °C hot-spot without derating while keeping lifetime specifications around 200 000 hours. Compared with traditional cylindrical can capacitors, these modular DC-link blocks support much higher current per unit, reduce conduction paths and keep parasitic inductance down in the single-digit nanohenry range, which is crucial for SiC-based converter stages.

The ModCap units are designed to sit very close to SiC power modules, with multiple low-inductance terminals providing short, symmetric current loops. This architecture reduces voltage overshoot during fast switching and can remove the need for separate snubber capacitors in many topologies, simplifying the DC-link layout. Because a single ModCap can replace several conventional capacitors, inverter designers can shrink cabinet volume, reduce assembly effort and cut the number of busbar interfaces and mounting points in high-power converter systems.

On the application side, the discussion highlights central PV inverters, wind converters, battery energy storage systems, electrolyzers and hydrogen production equipment, as well as solid-state transformer architectures. Traction inverters for locomotives, metros and light rail also benefit from low ESL and high ripple-current capability, especially at switching frequencies extending towards hundreds of kilohertz. Stable electrical behavior over wide load swings is emphasized as an important parameter for renewables where input power fluctuates significantly.

Complementing the ModCap DC-link blocks, TDK’s ENKP and MKP families provide AC and filter-stage capacitance for solar, wind and industrial drives, so engineers can build a coordinated stack from DC-link energy storage to EMC filtering. Across this portfolio, the focus is on temperature resilience, low loss at high frequency and predictable lifetime under demanding operating profiles. The video positions capacitor technology as a key enabler for higher current density, more compact converters and long-term reliability in SiC-based renewable, traction and industrial power electronics.

Behind the scenes, Package+ flips the cost structure of packaging from material to operations. A single reusable box may cost several times more than a cardboard carton to manufacture, but spread over roughly 50 shipping cycles the per-use cost becomes significantly lower, while dramatically reducing demand for virgin paper and plastics. Instead of treating packaging as a 100% consumable line item, enterprises rent a circulating pool of assets whose cost is amortized over logistics, warehousing, cleaning and data services. This “reuse as a service” model aligns especially well with ESG targets and upcoming regulations that push large e-commerce players toward defined shares of circular packaging in their portfolios

In the interview filmed at Web Summit Lisbon 2025, Package+ showcases how this system already operates at scale in Taiwan, with around 5,000 drop-off points embedded into everyday locations such as supermarkets, convenience stores, campuses, hospitals and transport hubs. Consumers receive their order in a reusable box or bag, then simply return it at any partner store to earn coupons funded by brands, creating a virtuous loop that nudges repeat purchases while keeping packaging in circulation. The company already collaborates with major platforms like Shopee and global retail and fashion brands, and is extending the same model to footwear shipments with partners such as Puma and Under Armour as well as food and grocery use cases via delivery platforms including Uber in Taiwan

Technically, the system combines durable multi-layer recycled plastic structures with digital tracking and analytics. QR codes and RFID tags on each unit capture events such as shipment, return, cleaning and redeployment, enabling granular lifecycle data on reuse counts, failure rates and emission reductions for each SKU and customer. On top of this, Package+ is building a data platform that uses cloud infrastructure, big data and machine learning to optimize routing, forecast pool sizes, and quantify CO2 savings and waste reduction for ESG reporting dashboards, with the long-term goal of offering circular packaging orchestration as a SaaS layer to logistics and retail partners

The founders come from e-commerce and online retail operations, where they saw first-hand the mountains of discarded shipping cartons and the friction around reusing ad-hoc second-hand boxes. That experience led them to design standardized, brandable packaging that can survive rough handling tests, including repeated drops, and that is easy to fold flat, store and clean in social-enterprise workshops, creating additional jobs for disadvantaged groups. Today Package+ is on its ninth or tenth product generation, co-developing specialized circular logistics boxes with technology manufacturers and semiconductor suppliers, while exploring future use in automated last-mile systems such as delivery robots and drones and preparing to replicate their Taiwanese circular ecosystem in Europe, North America and other high-volume e-commerce markets

Founder Yvonne Knap explains how the team of seven writers, educators and filmmakers uses narrative design, songs and repeatable breathing routines to support focus, attention span and nervous system regulation, including for autistic and ADHD children who often struggle with conventional classroom content. The puppets are filmed on green screen while backgrounds and visual layers are composed digitally, giving therapists, teachers and parents a format that feels like entertainment but systematically trains stress management, frustration tolerance and emotional resilience.

Recorded at Web Summit Lisbon 2025, the conversation explores how StarKid Universe positions itself in a world of always-on notifications and short-form content where attention spans are shrinking and antidepressant use among teenagers is rising. Instead of competing on stimulation, the stories deliberately slow children down, normalising practices like diaphragmatic breathing, grounding and simple somatic check-ins. Knap reports that in clinics and schools, children calm more quickly, stop crying sooner and begin to spontaneously “coach” stressed parents to breathe with them.

Technically, StarKid is already using AI in the production pipeline to speed up background design, visual effects and even early drafts of story outlines, lowering the cost of producing high-quality episodes while keeping a tight editorial focus on scientific validity and developmental appropriateness. Over time, the team envisions more interactive formats such as gentle gamification and AI-powered companions that respond to a child’s state, but only when they reinforce healthier screen habits and intentional breathing rather than adding another layer of distraction.

The roadmap extends beyond kids’ episodes: StarKid Universe is building a web platform and future mobile app that also hosts expert-led modules for parents on topics like sleep, ADHD, dyslexia and family mindfulness, plus community features connecting families with psychologists and therapists. As a Slovenian startup with a US entity and early validation from pediatric clinics, they are now seeking funding to scale episodes, books and tools globally, aiming to make meditation, breathwork and emotional skills as routine for families as bedtime stories.

Advantech uses this booth tour to connect NVIDIA Blackwell GPU servers with industrial PC design and edge AI boxes, showing a full pipeline from training large models to deploying them on the factory floor. Marco Zampolli walks through a Blackwell-based GPU workstation for LLMs and video AI, then contrasts it with compact Jetson-powered systems and a smart camera that can both ingest data and run inference directly on the line. https://www.advantech.com/en/products/edge-ai-computer/sub_3dcb0054-ba17-441a-925a-0869f03e4691

The video focuses on how digital human interaction and “AI helpers” are built on top of these platforms. A digital assistant front-end taps into LLMs and enterprise knowledge bases, while Blackwell GPU servers handle training, fine-tuning and heavier multimodal workloads in the data center. The result is a stack that can support chat-like interfaces on top of real-time machine data, video streams and historical production logs rather than just static documents.

From there, the discussion moves to edge AI, where fanless Jetson systems are mounted close to machines for low-latency inference, ruggedized operation and reduced backhaul traffic. These boxes ingest sensor and video data, run optimized models, and close the loop with actuators or MES/SCADA systems. The architecture separates model development and retraining on powerful GPU servers from deterministic inference on compact embedded devices, which is critical for OT environments with strict availability and thermal constraints.

A key highlight is the Jetson-based smart camera that combines optics, lighting and compute in a single housing. Instead of streaming raw video back to a rack PC, the camera hosts the model, performs on-device pre-processing, and can be quickly retrained with new image samples. This enables very fast deployment cycles for computer vision use cases such as traceability, defect detection and assembly verification, where engineers can iterate models without rewriting large amounts of traditional vision code.

Filmed at SPS 2025 in Nuremberg, the conversation underlines how Advantech positions itself across the full AI lifecycle: Blackwell GPU servers for training and heavy LLM/video workloads, configurable edge IPCs for inference at the machine, and integrated AI cameras for vision-centric tasks. Together with open-source models and customer-specific fine-tuning, the portfolio targets manufacturers who want to shorten go-to-market time for AI projects and keep both data and inference under tight industrial control.

Siemens presents a vision of the autonomous factory where configuring a product starts with a simple natural-language chat. Instead of clicking through rigid configurators, an operator just tells a chatbot which variants or colors they want, and the system turns that request into an order that is automatically dispatched to a robotic cell for commissioning and assembly. This front end ties conversational AI directly to physical production, closing the loop between product configuration and execution on the shop floor https://www.siemens.com/

In the demo, the real shift is not just the robot, but the behavior-based control architecture behind it. Each resource in the line — the commissioning cell, the assembly robot, the mobile robot — runs its own local behavior and reacts to events, rather than following a single monolithic production plan. Cells simply signal when they are ready, exchange status, and hand over parts. Because orchestration is decentralized and event-driven, you can add another assembly robot without rewriting a global production sequence, which increases robustness and scalability.

The robot in this setup does not rely on ad-hoc vision for every move, but on a model-based description of the workcell: the system knows exactly which parts are where, and uses that digital model to compute collision-free trajectories and precise pick-and-place motions. On the large screen, you see mobile robots and future humanoid robots envisaged as peers in the same architecture. Siemens’ goal is not to manufacture humanoids, but to integrate any vendor’s robots — cobots, AMRs, AGVs, or humanoids — through a common automation and fleet-management layer.

Economically, behavior-based autonomous cells aim to reduce both engineering effort and error-handling complexity. Instead of designing a rigid line where a large portion of logic is dedicated to exceptions, each agent simply operates when its preconditions are met and waits when they are not, which simplifies commissioning and reconfiguration. Combined with generative-AI copilots for engineering and operations, digital twins of cells and robots, and adaptive production concepts, this approach targets shorter changeover times, higher utilization, and more flexible variant handling across product families.

Filmed at the Siemens booth during SPS 2025 in Nuremberg, this walkthrough connects the concrete demo on the stand with Siemens’ broader Autonomous Factory Lab work on industrial AI, autonomous mobile robots, and human-robot collaboration. It illustrates how conversational configuration, model-based motion planning, and decentralized, agent-like behaviors could converge into factories where humans, AMRs, and future humanoid robots share the same resilient, software-defined automation environment.

At the core of Production Copilot is a configurable data layer that connects documents, IoT machine telemetry, MES data and other shopfloor systems into a single contextual view. Insights Hub provides an integrated data lake and semantic access to assets, events and time-series data, so the copilot can retrieve the right tags, alarms or KPIs for each question. Customers can add their own data sources and skills while keeping full control over governance, with customer data shielded from training any public foundation system.

From the operator perspective, the interface is a simple web-based chat where users can ask things like “How is my plant doing today?” and let predefined agents execute the required steps. The agent might pull the status of critical machines, check open events, correlate trends and respond with an explanation that points back to the relevant dashboards. Instead of browsing multiple HMI screens and reports, shopfloor staff can “chat with their data” and get guided answers tailored to the current state of the factory.

Filmed at the Siemens booth during SPS 2025 in Nuremberg, the video also highlights how customers can configure their own agents in the Copilot Studio. Agents are treated as small problem solvers dedicated to tasks such as maintenance support, shift handover reports or compiling status summaries for production lines. Domain experts can combine prebuilt Siemens agents with custom ones, tuning which data each agent can access and which actions it is allowed to trigger in the plant.

Production Copilot is part of Siemens’ broader industrial AI strategy, alongside tools like Engineering Copilot for TIA Portal and Operations Copilot running closer to the machines. Together with newly announced industrial AI agents and on-premise deployment options, it shows how generative AI is moving from pilot projects into day-to-day operations on the shopfloor. The result is a more intuitive way for people in manufacturing to turn heterogeneous data into decisions, without requiring deep data science expertise.

In this demo, Siemens shows how engineers can upload internal guidelines and sample projects so the copilot learns naming conventions, library blocks and preferred patterns. From there, it proposes complete function blocks and commented code, which the engineer reviews, adapts and inserts directly into the TIA Portal project. The same assistant can translate project texts, scaffold a first HMI visualization and assemble a consistent hardware configuration, turning boilerplate tasks into prompt-driven work.

Deep integration with TIA Portal means that once a code block is accepted, the copilot can import it, compile it and let the user execute it on the target controller as part of the normal engineering cycle. Siemens explains that the underlying model is trained on Siemens engineering knowledge, while customer project data stays under the customer’s control and is not reused for training. The copilot also acts as a semantic interface to the Siemens automation portfolio, answering questions and surfacing relevant documentation faster than manual search.

Product portfolio manager Stephan Oops stresses that the first target is repetitive, low-value tasks such as standard function blocks and commenting, not replacing expert PLC engineers. He expects workflows to shift so skilled users spend more time defining behavior, edge cases and safety constraints, and less time typing similar code again and again. Good prompt engineering matters: the clearer the description of the machine and expected behavior, the better the generated SCL, ladder diagrams and test cases will fit real use.

Recorded at SPS 2025 in Nuremberg at the Siemens booth, the conversation places Engineering Copilot for TIA Portal in the broader context of Siemens industrial AI and copilot tools. The vision is to extend assistants from engineering into production optimization and machine design, moving towards a unified industrial AI assistant across the lifecycle. For automation software engineers, that means evolving from line-by-line programming towards orchestrating AI-assisted workflows, validating generated PLC logic and getting machines into production faster.

From there, he moves into low-voltage power distribution with the SIVACON S8plus cabinet system, where customers can configure switchboards not only for technical performance but also for sustainability criteria such as CO2 footprint, recyclability and use of green steel. Design verification according to IEC 61439 is combined with digital planning tools so that users can compare different architectures, see the expected return on investment versus ecological impact, and choose layouts that balance reliability, maintainability and environmental footprint.

In the advanced machine engineering area, Siemens shows how mechanical design (NX), electrical schematics (EPLAN) and automation software can be unified through logical machine modules such as robots or cameras. OEMs can drag-and-drop these modules into new projects and automatically inherit wiring, software objects and kinematics, enabling reuse across multiple machine variants. This is complemented by the new S220 motion control cabinet, which increases power density and doubles the number of controllable axes per control unit from six to twelve, supporting more complex multi-axis machines without enlarging the control cabinet footprint.

The smart manufacturing section focuses on virtual PLC concepts and AI-assisted quality inspection. A vision system with the Inspector software classifies good and bad parts using only a small set of good samples, with the control logic running on an industrial PC and in the cloud instead of a dedicated hardware PLC. On top of this, Siemens presents a new zero-trust communication platform, giving customers granular control over which data leaves each asset, across both brownfield and greenfield installations, aligning OT cybersecurity architectures with modern IT policies and regulatory expectations.

Sustainability runs throughout the booth, from relays molded with recycled plastics to switchgear and SIVACON S8plus cabinets built from green steel, all monitored under the EcoTech label that now spans tens of thousands of product variants and supports customers’ ESG reporting and CO2 pricing strategies. Recorded at SPS 2025 in Nuremberg, this video only samples a fraction of a vast Siemens showcase covering AI-ready drives, digital twins, zero-trust OT networks and data-driven services, all aimed at making industrial plants more energy-efficient, maintainable and transparent over their full lifecycle.

In the OT security corner, the infrastructure is condensed into a compact line where controllers, field devices and networks are exposed to simulated faults and attacks. Firewalls, intrusion-detection sensors, data diodes and other network security components from partners such as Nozomi, Secunet and Fortinet are inserted into the topology to show defence-in-depth patterns. Customers can rehearse how to harden PLC networks, segment production cells and enforce secure remote access before rolling those architectures into live plants.

A second focus is what Reply calls the business accelerator: once sensor and time-series data are collected, how can OEMs and operators actually use it. The team explains how analytics on machine usage, vibration, throughput and alarms can support shopfloor personnel and supervisors with dashboards, alerts and recommendations. The same data can underpin new service contracts, pay-per-use models or performance guarantees, giving machine builders recurring revenue instead of one-off sales while giving end users better transparency on asset health.

The cloud and AI demo ties this together end-to-end. Sensors on the mechanical rig feed an edge device from Belden, which forwards normalised data into the cloud, where KPIs, OEE-style metrics and anomaly indicators are visualised in near real time. When a breakdown or anomaly occurs, a GenAI assistant draws on historic tickets, manuals and best-practice playbooks to propose likely root causes and step-by-step remediation, helping maintenance teams reduce mean time to repair and avoid unnecessary downtime.

Recorded at SPS 2025 in Nuremberg, the video captures how different Reply units collaborate around industrial cybersecurity and industrial data, from Spike Reply’s OT security expertise to teams working on IoT connectivity and data platforms with cloud providers like AWS. The conversation highlights that modern OT security is not only about blocking attacks, but also about using the same instrumentation to strengthen resilience, deepen customer relationships and build new as-a-service business models around connected equipment.

RECOM Power uses this SPS booth tour to show how it positions itself as a specialist in AC/DC and DC/DC conversion for industrial automation. The field application engineer walks through a coherent DIN-rail ecosystem combining RACPRO1 power supplies with multi-channel electronic fuses and redundancy modules to simplify cabinet design, selective protection and remote diagnostics across factory and process installations. https://recom-power.com/

On the cabinet side, the focus is on RACPRO1 DIN-rail power supplies in single-phase and three-phase variants, spanning 240 W, 480 W and up to 960 W ranges with 24 V and 48 V outputs for typical PLC, I/O and motion loads. The design highlights spring-clamp connectors, compact widths and wide operating temperature capability, making it easier to keep control panels dense yet serviceable. Redundancy modules allow n+1 architectures and parallel operation so that critical loads remain powered even if one AC/DC unit drops out.

The demo then dives into RECOM’s DIN-rail e-fuse modules such as the RACPRO1-4SP, which provide four independently adjustable channels, typically up to 5 A per load with trimmable current limits. Instead of relying on mechanical circuit breakers that can fail to discriminate during overloads, the e-fuse monitors current in real time, limits inrush, isolates only the faulty branch and signals the event via DC OK relay outputs to the PLC. Local LEDs and the live short-circuit demo make it clear how fast fault localisation and automatic recovery reduce downtime in complex cabinets.

Moving outside the cabinet, RECOM presents a decentralized IP67 power supply range for field installation, providing up to around 720 W at 24 V or 48 V in a back-plate cooled housing with 97% efficiency. These sealed PSUs are aimed at conveyors, wash-down zones, outdoor machinery and other installations with water, dust and vibration, where bringing power closer to the loads reduces cable losses and cabinet complexity. Integrated electronic protection and support for multiple loads bridge the gap between rugged field wiring and higher-level automation networks.

For building automation, the video also highlights an ultra-slim “step-shape” DIN-rail series such as the REFIN family, delivering up to 90 W with short-term power boost, NEC Class 2 characteristics and a form factor optimised for cramped fuse boxes. By combining these slim PSUs with DIN-rail e-fuses and redundancy modules, RECOM targets applications from smart buildings to factory automation, as seen here at SPS Nuremberg 2025, positioning its Strongman logo as shorthand for a wide portfolio of compact, high-efficiency power building blocks from tiny PCB modules to high-power RACPRO1 cabinet supplies.

Advantech uses this interview to frame cybersecurity as a core requirement for industrial IoT rather than an optional add-on, with a focus on the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) and how it will impact switches, routers and embedded PCs across factories and infrastructure. Marco Zampolli explains that Advantech already offers CRA-oriented hardware such as IEC 62443-aligned AK industrial switches and secure routers, and that the company is standardising on an AI-powered security runtime, developed with AI EdgeLabs, to continuously monitor device behaviour at the edge. https://campaign.advantech.online/en/global/intelligent-connectivity/cybersecurity/

The security runtime runs up to 25 AI models in parallel directly on the embedded PC, profiling normal traffic and system behaviour and flagging anomalies that could indicate a cyberattack or misconfiguration. Because inference happens locally, plants can still enforce policies and detect threats even with intermittent connectivity, which is crucial for remote sites and OT networks. The runtime is intentionally lightweight, with minimal CPU and storage footprint, so it can be added to existing industrial PCs and gateways without sacrificing real-time performance, making it suitable for brownfield deployments in production.

Filmed at SPS 2025 in Nuremberg, the demo also highlights Advantech’s device portal, which aggregates alerts and status from fleets of deployed systems into a single dashboard. Operators can see incidents on individual devices, track recovery actions, and generate the audit trails that regulators and customers increasingly expect. This ties directly into CRA requirements around incident reporting, lifecycle management and transparent handling of vulnerabilities across all products with digital elements in operation.

Zampolli stresses that the CRA is not only about products but also about “security by design” inside the manufacturer: internal cybersecurity committees, secure development workflows and documented vulnerability management. Advantech aligns this with standards such as IEC 62443 and uses common vulnerability databases (CVEs) to patch issues, targeting mitigation within roughly 48 hours once a problem is identified. In practice, this means coordinated firmware updates, secure boot chains and continuous monitoring are treated as part of the product lifecycle rather than afterthoughts in the organisation.

For machine builders and industrial end users, the key message is that becoming CRA-ready by the 2027 deadline does not necessarily require ripping out existing equipment. By choosing vendors that already embed CRA thinking into their hardware, software and organisational processes, most of the cost lies in adapting workflows: how applications are developed, how machines are bundled, and how updates and reports are handled. Advantech’s promise in this conversation is that, with the right partner and a security runtime that can be rolled out via software update, brownfield plants can move towards CRA-compliant, AI-assisted industrial cybersecurity with limited disruption to daily operation.

Advantech presents a wireless vibration and environmental monitoring stack built around LoRaWAN smart sensors and gateways, showing how condition monitoring can be retrofitted onto existing rotating machinery and plant equipment. In this video the team walks through the WISE-2410 vibration sensor, WISE-6610 gateways and complementary environmental and current nodes, all streaming telemetry into Node-RED dashboards for machine health visualization. https://www.advantech.com/

The WISE-2410 is a LoRaWAN wireless condition monitoring sensor that integrates an ARM Cortex-M4 MCU, 3-axis accelerometer and temperature sensing in an IP66 enclosure for continuous vibration analysis on motors, pumps and compressors. It computes RMS velocity on X, Y and Z, derives ISO 10816-based health indicators and transmits compressed status data over the air, enabling predictive maintenance with low bandwidth and up to roughly two years of battery life at a 30-minute reporting cadence.

EVA-2310 extends the same architecture to environmental sensing as a LoRaWAN temperature and humidity node covering -20 °C to 55 °C and 0–90% RH, with typical battery life up to five years at a 15-minute uplink interval for long-term monitoring of offices, warehouses or production areas. For electrical parameters, the WISE-2211 LPWAN module adds three analog current channels with power-over-input so it can be powered directly from 4–20 mA loops or CTs, turning existing transducers into wireless nodes without extra power wiring.

On the network edge, the WISE-6610 family provides indoor DIN-rail units and outdoor IP67 variants with PoE, wide temperature operation and support for LoRaWAN backhaul plus industrial protocols such as Modbus and MQTT towards SCADA or cloud platforms. In this setup the gateway runs Node-RED so engineers can decode payloads, configure thresholds and push events into higher-level analytics, while LoRaWAN interoperability lets them combine Advantech gateways with third-party nodes or deploy WISE-2410 and EVA-2310 sensors on existing infrastructure to avoid vendor dependence.

Filmed at SPS 2025 in Nuremberg, the booth demo is aimed at reliability engineers, maintenance teams and OT/IT integrators who need practical paths to condition-based monitoring on brownfield assets. Advantech’s broader vibration portfolio adds USB and PCIe DAQ hardware plus DAQNavi/MCM software for time- and frequency-domain visualization, giving the same sensor families a route from simple dashboards to full predictive maintenance workflow

Microchip senior embedded solutions engineer Tim Scherr explains how the company’s embedded security portfolio supports secure boot, secure key storage and firmware-over-the-air (FOTA) updates for connected devices that must comply with the upcoming EU Cyber Resilience Act when its main obligations apply from December 2027. At SPS in Nuremberg he shows how device identity is anchored in a secure element “birth certificate”, so that firmware images and configuration updates can be authenticated and authorized in the field instead of being fixed at production time.

The conversation walks through a typical embedded design flow, from early prototyping on development boards through validation and mass production, and highlights where hardware security blocks and secure elements are inserted into the architecture. By integrating secure key provisioning and certificate management early in the design, developers can align with CRA expectations around secure-by-design defaults, authenticated software, signed manifests, lifecycle vulnerability handling and field-updatable firmware, instead of bolting security on late in the project. This approach also helps structure internal processes for risk assessment, documentation and incident response that the regulation will require over the full product lifetime.

Tim then details the Trust Platform tiers Microchip offers for provisioning and lifecycle management of secure elements: pre-provisioned Trust&GO devices for rapid network onboarding, TrustFLEX devices with pre-configured authentication use cases such as secure boot, OTA verification, token and certificate authentication and hardware attestation, and fully customizable TrustCUSTOM secure elements for bespoke threat models and key hierarchies. He also mentions TrustMANAGER for in-field credential rotation and remote key management, which works with cloud PKI and Microchip’s secure manufacturing infrastructure to support FOTA and cryptographic updates at fleet scale.

Throughout the video he addresses the concern many European manufacturers have about interpreting CRA requirements correctly and shows that engineering teams can already begin aligning their embedded products with future cybersecurity obligations. The key message is to treat secure device identity, cryptographic key management, provisioning infrastructure and robust update mechanisms as core design parameters rather than optional add-ons, giving OEMs a concrete path toward CRA-ready connected products that remain maintainable and auditable over their entire service life.

In this interview, filmed at Web Summit Lisbon 2025, a game developer from Edumento walks through how the ecosystem works end-to-end. Parents register children in the Edumento Parent app, link them to subject apps, and then monitor detailed learning analytics: every quiz attempt, the number of questions, dates, correct versus incorrect answers, and even the exact options chosen. Beyond quizzes, the dashboard also surfaces which calculations were solved, which problems were attempted, what challenges were completed and what conversations the child had with the in-app AI tutor, providing a granular view of learning progress over time.

A key design choice is deep gamification. Edumento Pet acts as a Tamagotchi-style virtual companion that children care for using points earned by studying in Edumento Math and other apps. Daily duties such as feeding, bathing or putting the pet to sleep are unlocked with these learning points, tying core game loops directly to completed missions, challenges and lessons. This reward system, combined with missions and streak mechanics, is designed to reinforce regular practice and intrinsic motivation without turning the app into a purely casual game experience.

The team emphasizes that their AI is not a shortcut to answers but a scaffolded tutor. Instead of simply outputting “2 + 2 = 4” like a generic chatbot, Edumento’s AI walks children through problem-solving: decomposing calculations, highlighting intermediate steps, and explaining methods for multiplication or logic tasks. Age, level and past performance feed into adaptive learning paths so a six-year-old and a ten-year-old see different assignments, daily challenges and quiz difficulty. Features such as AI math chat, step-by-step explanations and adaptive difficulty are positioned as tools to build mastery and conceptual understanding.

Based in Mitrovica, Kosovo, Edumento is still an early-stage startup with a small team and around one hundred active users, but already offers around ten apps across web and mobile with a roadmap that extends beyond math and grammar into geography, history, science, biology and more. With Edumento TV, Read and future Teacher tools, the company aims to bridge home and classroom by giving parents and educators shared visibility into learning data, while kids experience education as a coherent universe of stories, quizzes, missions and pets rather than isolated worksheets, gradually expanding into a full multi-subject ecosystem.

In the interview, Elena explains how Imigrata turns complex visa frameworks into clear paths: assessing each client’s income profile (active or passive), employment status and family situation, then mapping that to concrete programs such as Spain’s digital nomad residence, Portugal’s D8 remote-work visa or D7 passive-income routes. Their lawyers and attorneys manage company formation, NIF and local registrations, document apostilles, criminal records, bank statements and long-term housing proof, so founders and freelancers can focus on work rather than consulate bureaucracy.

A big part of their work targets non-EU clients—from Ukraine, India, Pakistan, the US and elsewhere—who want safer residence, better climate and Schengen mobility while maintaining foreign contracts. For digital nomads, Imigrata looks at minimum monthly income thresholds (for example, around the mid-2k euro range for Spain and higher for Portugal), remote-work contracts and tax-residency constraints to build compliant applications that include spouses, children or entire teams. They also help clients compare digital nomad tracks with study-based residence, skilled-worker routes or passive-income programs when those fit better.

Imigrata operates primarily online with a distributed team in Portugal, Montenegro, Spain, Brazil and the US, which allows them to coordinate local filings while advising clients globally by video calls and structured document checklists. At Web Summit Lisbon 2025, they emphasise that relocation is rarely “one size fits all”: tax optimisation discussions are pushed to specialised consultations where experts review income sources, planned time in country, treaty exposure and options like special expat tax regimes rather than giving generic answers on the booth floor.

For Ukrainians and other clients under temporary protection schemes, Imigrata focuses first on legal safety and stability, then on longer-term strategies such as transitioning from temporary protection to work-based, study or digital-nomad residence in countries like Portugal and Spain. They highlight that making the right first choice of country and program matters for future renewals, citizenship timelines and family planning, and that each case is modelled around job type, desired lifestyle and risk tolerance instead of just chasing the simplest visa label.

HPCwire’s group publisher Jeff Hyman explains how the Wire publications – HPCwire, AIwire, BigDATAwire and QCwire – act as the media backbone of the high-performance computing, AI and quantum ecosystem. With almost four decades of coverage behind them, they follow the fastest supercomputers on the planet, the people who operate national labs and hyperscale data centers, and the vendors building GPU clusters, exascale systems and data-intensive infrastructure. https://www.hpcwire.com/

The conversation dives into the “35 Legends” program, a hall-of-fame style recognition launched to mark the brand’s 35th anniversary and now expanded as the field grows. Seymour Cray, Gordon Moore, Jensen Huang, Lisa Su and other architects, semiconductor leaders and system builders are highlighted as foundational figures who shaped vector machines, microprocessors, GPUs and large-scale parallel systems across generations of computing history.

Hyman reflects on how editorial coverage has shifted from the early cloud and big data era to today’s GPU-centric AI boom, where every system vendor and cloud provider wants to be part of the generative AI and large language model story. He stresses that AI, HPC and data are tightly coupled layers of the same stack: you cannot train frontier models without high-performance clusters and interconnects, and HPC itself is becoming the on-ramp toward practical quantum accelerators and hybrid classical-quantum compute.

Finally, the interview captures the role of HPCwire and its sister sites on the SC25 Supercomputing show floor in St Louis, where a small editorial team turns booth meetings and keynotes into roughly two dozen original articles plus hundreds of curated press releases. The result is a running log of the community’s focus areas – from AI acceleration and GPU cloud services to emerging quantum platforms – and a sense of continuity between the pioneers on the 35 Legends wall and the architectures now shaping the next decade of computing.

HDMI® Technology is the foundation for the worldwide ecosystem of HDMI-connected devices; integrated with displays, set-top boxes, laptops, audio video receivers and other product types. Because of this global usage, manufacturers, resellers, integrators and consumers must be assured that their HDMI® products work seamlessly together and deliver the best possible performance by sourcing products from licensed HDMI Adopters or authorized resellers. For HDMI Cables, consumers can look for the official HDMI® Cable Certification Labels on packaging. Innovation continues with the latest HDMI 2.2 Specification that supports higher 96Gbps bandwidth and next-gen HDMI Fixed Rate Link technology to provide optimal audio and video for a wide range of device applications. Higher resolutions and refresh rates are supported, including up to 12K@120 and 16K@60. Additionally, more high-quality options are supported, including uncompressed full chroma formats such as 8K@60/4:4:4 and 4K@240/4:4:4 at 10-bit and 12-bit color.

In the demo, Nils walks through examples such as corduroy weekend bags, beach totes and stainless-steel tumblers, showing how clients can control materials, colors, woven tapes, inner linings and even zipper pulls to match strict brand guidelines. Most of the catalog is produced in Poland, giving Sunday tighter control over quality, lead times and working conditions while avoiding the kind of low-value giveaways that end up unused. The focus is on durable textiles, useful accessories and packaging that people actually want to keep, turning merch into something closer to lifestyle branding

Filmed at Web Summit Lisbon 2025, the conversation also highlights how Sunday’s customers typically forecast needs three to six months ahead, place a single bulk order, and then let Sunday store the stock and pick-pack-ship on demand. Through the platform, a marketing or HR team can trigger automated shipments of welcome kits to new hires, send conference swag to event locations, or drop-ship gifts to partners, without touching a box themselves. The same backend infrastructure supports global shipping, customs handling and tracking, so local teams don’t have to become logistics experts

Beyond the physical items, Sunday positions merchandise as a measurable, cross-functional channel for HR, events, marketing and partnerships. Centralized stock management, order history and campaign-level reporting help brands understand which items are actually used and appreciated, and where they may be wasting budget. By combining thoughtful product design with a SaaS platform for catalog management, redeem pages, branded webshops and global logistics, Sunday aims to turn corporate merch from a pile of random swag into a coherent part of brand and people strategy

Cocoding.ai presents itself as an AI developer team in a box: a multi-agent system that takes a natural-language prompt and generates a full SaaS application, including backend, frontend and mobile clients, plus deployment and hosting. The idea is that non-technical founders and developers alike can describe the product in English, French, Arabic or many other languages, and let the platform synthesize architecture, business logic, APIs and UI into a production-ready workflow. https://cocoding.ai/

In this interview from the Station F booth area at Web Summit Lisbon 2025, the team explains how Cocoding positions itself beyond typical “vibe coding” tools such as Lovable or Bolt. Instead of locking you into a single framework and a prototyping database, Cocoding separates frontend and backend, supports multiple programming languages and frameworks, and treats the result as a real full-stack system. Code, database schema and data belong to the customer, with enterprise-oriented guardrails and a focus on production deployment rather than disposable scaffolding.

The platform exposes a browser-based IDE with editor, terminal and live preview, wired directly to a cloud runtime. When a project is generated, it is deployed onto a Kubernetes cluster with autoscaling, so the same prompt-generated app can handle small traffic early on and grow with demand, while billing scales with the underlying infrastructure rather than just token usage. Developers can bind custom domains by pointing DNS to the assigned IP and use plans priced roughly in the range of a small VPS, bundling compute, storage and AI generation credits into a single monthly subscription.

Under the hood, Cocoding uses an agentic AI framework: multiple specialized agents benchmark and route tasks to whichever large language model performs best for a given sub-problem, instead of exposing model selection directly to end users. That same multi-agent pipeline can ingest API keys for services like Stripe or other payment providers, read documentation from the web and wire payments, authentication and external APIs into the generated backend while keeping PostgreSQL databases isolated from direct internet exposure behind application gateways, a design closer to conventional production architectures than many no-code tools provide.

The team stresses the “co-coding” philosophy: the goal is not to replace engineers but to let a small Paris-based startup feel like it has a 100-person development department, while still allowing human developers to review, modify and extend the generated code inside the platform or in their own repositories. They are bootstrapped, have recently entered programs like CDL Paris to scale the business side, and are working toward a roadmap that includes marketplaces for reusable apps, integrations with major clouds such as AWS, GCP, OVHcloud and Scaleway, richer collaboration features and more regional hosting footprints, all built around the same agentic AI development ecosystem.

A central theme of the discussion is Neosoft’s role as “AI development partner.” Beyond simple chatbot work, they talk about predictive and prescriptive analytics, prediction modelling and AI modelling tailored to each client. That fits with their AI practice around computer vision, cloud computing, predictive analytics, AI for risk and compliance, business process automation and AI-driven feature engineering, where teams build and integrate models and deploy them into production systems under proper MLOps and governance.

They also emphasize the talent model: around 4,000 engineers across more than nine development centers in India, plus global offices, covering over a hundred technologies from Microsoft stacks to open-source, data science and modern front-end frameworks. Developers are expected to constantly reskill as tools evolve, from large language models like ChatGPT and Gemini to AI coding assistants such as Cursor AI or Wcoding, all used pragmatically to compress delivery timelines and budgets while maintaining code quality and security.

The conversation touches on why global customers still look to India beyond simple cost arbitrage. Neosoft stresses product-development experience, having delivered MVPs and full products used in multiple countries and industries, and combining product engineering, mobility, IoT, data & AI and digital transformation work under one delivery umbrella. From headquarters in Mumbai and hubs like Hyderabad, Pune, Bangalore and Chennai to offices in the US, South Africa, Singapore and elsewhere, the company is set up for distributed teams and continuous collaboration. This particular interview is filmed at Web Summit Lisbon 2025, where they meet potential clients and partners face to face around these topics.

Internally, Neosoft frames itself as a place where engineers stay engaged because they work on challenging initiatives for well-known brands, building MVPs and POCs on new tech stacks rather than only maintaining legacy systems. The speaker explains that retention comes from interesting problems, freedom to try new technologies, room for ideas that can impress clients and a culture where strong results can translate into recognition and financial rewards. For clients, that combination of career-driven talent, AI-enabled productivity tools and a mature offshore delivery structure is what underpins their promise to ship AI-driven products quickly, at competitive cost and with room to scale into full global deployments.
