On the booth they walk through a 4U Supermicro-based GPU server configured as a dual-socket AMD platform with PCIe datacenter GPUs such as NVIDIA H200 NVL and similar NVL2 form factors. The chassis is designed to host up to eight of these GPUs in a single node, with appropriate power delivery, airflow and front-access I/O for dense AI and HPC workloads in standard data center racks. For even larger single-node configurations, they point to 5U systems that can host up to ten GPUs, which are increasingly used as building blocks in larger clusters when customers want fewer, more powerful nodes per rack rather than many smaller servers.

Microway emphasizes its long relationship with NVIDIA, being an elite partner that has been in the DGX program since its inception and has shipped large deployments of every DGX generation so far. That experience feeds into current work with datacenter GPUs such as H200 NVL in PCIe servers and preparations for rack-scale deployments of the upcoming NVIDIA GB300 NVL72, where 72 tightly coupled GPUs and Grace CPUs are used as a single reasoning and training domain. The integration work is done across OEM ecosystems from Supermicro and Gigabyte to network fabrics and storage, so that customers receive not just hardware, but a wired-up cluster tuned for their scheduler, container stack and AI frameworks.

Filmed at SC25 Supercomputing 2025 in St. Louis, this conversation positions Microway as a specialist for institutions that want to accelerate AI and simulation without building their own integration teams. Universities rolling out new academic clusters, government labs scaling to multi-rack GPU deployments and enterprises standardizing on a DGX-class architecture all get the same approach: a solution mapped to their workload mix, constraints on power and cooling, and operational model. The result is infrastructure that arrives on site pre-tested, with a consistent OS and software stack, so teams can move quickly from procurement to running real HPC and AI jobs rather than spending months in integration and debugging.

The interview explains Koolmicro’s manifold and microchannel geometry, where vertical manifolds feed short microchannels positioned directly over GPU and CPU hotspots. This produces a more uniform temperature field across the silicon and allows lower flow rates and higher inlet temperatures, which matters for power usage effectiveness and chiller design. Direct-to-chip cold plates of this type are becoming a core building block for large AI clusters, exascale nodes and other liquid-cooled HPC hardware.

To make the gains concrete, Koolmicro runs a live A/B comparison on an Nvidia RTX 5090, showing its own cold plate next to a conventional design under identical power, inlet temperature and flow. The demo reports roughly fifteen to twenty percent lower thermal resistance and about four to five degrees Celsius lower junction temperatures with the Koolmicro plate. A dedicated thermal test vehicle with 27 embedded sensors and programmable heat loads up to roughly 4.5 kW is used to characterize spatial temperature profiles and validate the cooling performance using detailed thermal mapping.

Koolmicro also outlines its IMMC roadmap: IMMC-1 as the current copper direct-to-chip plate, IMMC-2 moving liquid cooling into the package for shorter thermal paths, and IMMC-3 targeting future wafer-level cooling co-designed with semiconductor manufacturing. Their manifold microchannel structures have been demonstrated in published data at heat flux levels near 2,000 W/cm², pointing toward support for next-generation AI accelerators, data center CPUs, non-memory semiconductors and high-power optical or LiDAR infrastructure.

Recorded at the SC25 Supercomputing conference, the discussion situates Koolmicro within a broader shift toward liquid-cooled AI infrastructure and the Korean ecosystem of chip and system vendors. With headquarters in South Korea and R&D centers in Atlanta and San Jose, the team emphasizes complete liquid loops for servers and workstations—pumps, manifolds, cold plates and controls—rather than treating the plate as an isolated part. The result is a technically grounded look at how manifold microchannel liquid cooling can scale with future AI workloads while improving data center energy efficiency and cooling.

Fujitsu’s quantum lab researcher Joey Sha-Leo walks through a half-scale mockup of the company’s 64-qubit superconducting quantum computer, explaining how the qubit chip sits at the base of the system while layers of cryogenic electronics and filters fan out above it to route and condition microwave signals. He connects this demonstrator to Fujitsu’s broader roadmap, from its currently deployed 256-qubit system to a 1,000-qubit machine planned around 2026 and a 10,000-plus-qubit platform targeting roughly 250 logical qubits by 2030. https://global.fujitsu/en-global/technology/research/quantum

The video demystifies why superconducting quantum hardware has to look like a golden chandelier hanging inside a large cylinder. The 64-qubit chip is operated at about 20 millikelvin inside a dilution refrigerator, colder than deep space, with cascaded cryogenic amplifiers, low-pass and band-pass filters, and high-electron-mobility (HEMT) amplifiers mounted at different temperature stages. On the chip itself, qubits are laid out in an 8×8 nearest-neighbor lattice, a topology that Fujitsu already tiles into a 256-qubit device and expects to reuse as it scales wiring density and thermal management for larger systems within the same cryogenic stack.

Joey also highlights the algorithm-to-device gap: practical quantum advantage will only come when application developers and hardware designers co-evolve the full stack. Fujitsu’s research group explores chemistry and catalyst discovery workloads, quantum algorithms for optimization and data analysis, and hybrid quantum-classical workflows that can run on today’s noisy intermediate-scale devices while preparing for error-corrected machines. In this short booth conversation recorded at the SC25 Supercomputing Conference in St Louis, the focus stays on how each design decision in the hardware constrains and enables real algorithms rather than on abstract performance claims for the industry.

Finally, the discussion returns to what it means to move from 64 physical qubits today to thousands of physical qubits and hundreds of logical qubits later in the decade. By layering quantum error-correcting codes on top of a scalable lattice and carefully engineering cryogenic stability, Fujitsu aims to reach the threshold where around 250 logical qubits become available for meaningful simulations in materials science, catalysis, and optimization. The roadmap shared here is not presented as science fiction but as a staged engineering path from current prototypes toward practical, fault-tolerant quantum computing.

A central part of the discussion is a large supercomputer accelerator developed as one of the first Korean-designed chips for national-scale scientific supercomputing. The accelerator combines Arm Neoverse CPU clusters with custom vector and AI engines, targeted at K-class systems where domestic IP is a strategic priority for Korea’s compute roadmap. Alongside that, Supergate shows an autonomous-driving SoC integrating a 160 TOPS MPU, designed to fuse many heterogeneous sensors and run perception and planning workloads under tight power and thermal envelopes in automotive environments, where the same IP blocks can later be re-used in edge AI infrastructure.

They also present the “Test T1” CPU chip, a 128-core Arm Neoverse N2 device fabricated on TSMC’s 5 nm process and aimed at high-performance servers and supercomputer nodes. This device targets hyper-dense Arm server blades, where many cores with coherent memory and high-speed I/O feed external accelerator cards over standard fabrics in a modular rack. The prototype boards and servers shown in the video illustrate a typical deployment pattern: Arm Neoverse host CPUs orchestrating multiple accelerator cards in each node, with Supergate providing both the silicon and the reference platforms for OEMs building HPC clusters and data-center hardware.

Beyond the individual chips, Supergate emphasizes that they deliver full-turnkey custom SoC projects, from specification and microarchitecture through logic design, verification, physical design, manufacturing and bring-up, all the way to software and board-level validation.([supergate.cc][2]) Depending on process node complexity, they quote project timescales from under a year on mature nodes to multiple years for cutting-edge geometries such as 5 nm, and they frame this as a way for system companies to turn their own ideas for accelerators into production silicon without building a large internal chip team. Filmed at the SC25 Supercomputing conference in St Louis, the conversation underlines a broader trend in HPC and automotive: custom Arm-based SoCs with tightly integrated accelerators, developed by specialist design houses like Supergate, are becoming the preferred path to differentiate both supercomputers and future autonomous vehicles while optimizing power, latency and total system cost.

In the video, Emily explains how Arcitecta’s internal creative team worked with international digital artists on the “worlds within worlds” concept, capturing the local national library with detailed 3D scans and turning it into a 20-minute generative artwork that wraps around the booth. The LED walls and immersive content are not just eye candy; they are a way to make abstract ideas like metadata, namespaces and data provenance more tangible, so visitors can connect emotionally with the story of data over decades rather than only hearing about capacity metrics or IOPS in isolation

Chief Operating Officer Graeme Beasley then connects this artistic narrative to concrete use cases such as Princeton University’s TigerData platform, which is built on Mediaflux and already manages on the order of 200 petabytes and hundreds of millions of research assets across working, persistent and archival tiers ([Mysite][2]) Filmed at SC25 in St Louis, the conversation highlights how a unified metadata layer lets institutions span HPC scratch, campus NAS, object stores and tape libraries while still being able to find and restore old datasets years later, even as underlying hardware and vendors change around the platform

Beyond Princeton, Arcitecta positions Mediaflux as an AI-ready data infrastructure with native vector search, policy-driven data movement and point-in-time rollback that can protect against ransomware while feeding GPU clusters with the right training data at the right moment ([HPCwire][3]) The interview hints at deployments where Mediaflux federates a trillion-file namespace, uses dense XODB metadata to drive global workflows and underpins domain-specific services like long-term cultural archives or hybrid HPC “burst” computing, giving research organisations and enterprises a way to treat data management not as an afterthought but as a core part of their scientific and analytical pipeline

The Aries NPU appears here as a PCIe accelerator and as an MXM module integrated into the MLX-A1 system, turning a small embedded PC into a powerful on-premises inference node for LLMs and computer vision. The demo includes a four-card configuration in a single chassis, effectively scaling to roughly 320 TOPS at about 100 W, which is a useful performance-per-watt point for edge servers, industrial PCs and compact AI gateways that need dense compute in a constrained platform.

Regulus targets even more constrained form factors as a full system-on-chip and system-on-module with integrated CPU, NPU and memory so that a complete mini PC class design can fit on a tiny board. With this module, Mobilint focuses on robots, drones, smart factory equipment and smart cars that must execute perception and control locally, without relying on cloud connectivity, enabling deterministic latency and privacy-preserving compute at the edge.

A key part of Mobilint’s pitch is their quantization and software stack: models are converted from 32-bit floating point to 8-bit integer with reported accuracy loss below one percent, which makes it realistic to replace very large foundation models by smaller, quantized variants while keeping most of the quality. In the demo they run an 8-billion-parameter LG LLM fully on the local accelerator and discuss how a well-quantized 7B-class model can deliver roughly 99% of the perceived performance of a model that might originally have hundreds of billions of parameters, all within the power budget of a compact edge device.

Recorded at Supercomputing SC25, the conversation also touches on architecture trends, with Mobilint arguing that future AI supercomputers and distributed systems will rely heavily on many ARM-based SoCs paired with NPUs rather than a small number of large GPUs. Their roadmap emphasizes edge servers, industrial desktops and embedded systems where dozens or hundreds of Aries and Regulus based boards can be deployed close to the data source, forming a scalable, power-efficient ecosystem.

Using dual CAN from a 48 MHz Cortex-M0+ core, the board shows both synchronized and independent control of the two fans. This maps directly to use cases like automotive HVAC, where separate in-cabin blowers or zonal climate-control actuators share the same CAN backbone but need different speed profiles, as well as industrial cabinets where multiple motors or pumps are coordinated on a common fieldbus. The same architecture scales to CAN-FD networks, gateway nodes and mixed LIN/CAN topologies while maintaining deterministic motor-control loops.

The on-chip Peripheral Touch Controller replaces external touch controllers by implementing mutual and self-capacitance sensing, supporting buttons, sliders and simple gesture surfaces on the same MCU that closes the control loop. This enables sealed front panels and moisture-tolerant HMIs, which are important in vehicles, white goods and factory equipment. Running from a 5V supply with robust analog front ends and noise-tolerant PTC hardware, these parts are optimized for electrically noisy environments typical of engine bays or industrial drives, and can be integrated with RTOS or bare-metal firmware through MPLAB libraries.

Recorded at the SPS 2025 exhibition in Nuremberg, the interview also highlights the practical development flow around Microchip’s evaluation boards, including Curiosity-class kits targeting PIC32CM JH and related SAM families. Engineers can prototype dual-CAN motor-control nodes with touch and display on a single board, then migrate directly into automotive-qualified or industrial-grade variants with extended flash, RAM and functional-safety features such as ECC memory and diagnostic peripherals, reusing the same software stack from lab demo to series production.

Weidmüller uses this SPS Nuremberg 2025 booth tour to show how cabinet building can be treated as a data-driven, semi-automated production line rather than a manual craft. Robots like “Snappy” work with the Wire Processing Center to cut, strip and crimp conductors, then feed them into SNAP IN terminal blocks that lock with a single click and require no ferrules, making wiring faster and less error-prone. This interview walks through how those mechanics, terminal blocks and software all fit together in real cabinet production environments. https://www.weidmueller.com/en/solutions/technologies/snap_in_connection_technology/index.jsp

From there the tour dives into “next level cabinet building”: automated wiring cells, a rail assembler that populates DIN rails with relays and terminal blocks directly from engineering data, and guidance systems that lead operators step by step through wiring and marking to avoid mistakes. The long-term partnership with Schneider Electric and the TeSys range shows how SNAP IN can be adopted in mainstream low-voltage gear as well. A dedicated area highlights Weidmüller’s ergonomic hand tools and wire processing equipment that combine cutting, stripping and crimping in one motion, connecting today’s demo to a 175-year history that started with mechanical snap fasteners for clothing and evolved into electrical connectivity for industry.

On the automation side, the booth shows how the u-mation portfolio ties hardware and software together: u-remote I/O, web-based controllers such as u-control, and Linux-based platforms like u-OS for edge computing and Industrial IoT. Dashboards visualize energy consumption, machine status and production KPIs, while automated reporting helps factory managers see where bottlenecks or inefficiencies are. Extension modules and open interfaces let OEMs treat control hardware as a modular platform, combining real-time control with data aggregation for analytics, predictive maintenance or cloud integration. Filmed at the SPS trade fair in Nuremberg 2025, the discussion emphasizes openness, from standard fieldbuses to containerized runtime environments.

A large part of the booth is devoted to connectivity across the whole signal chain: PCB and device connectors, feed-throughs for easy maintenance without opening the cabinet, and an extensive range of field connection products. Viewers see M8, M12 and M23 circular connectors, rugged RockStar heavy-duty connectors and push-pull M12 designs that support quick, tool-less mating in harsh environments. High-current interfaces for rail and other demanding sectors illustrate how power, signal and data can be combined in compact form factors, enabling denser cabinets and more integrated machines without sacrificing serviceability.

The highlight on communication is Single Pair Ethernet, presented as the next step in Ethernet-based factory networking. Instead of eight conductors in a traditional RJ45 cable, SPE uses just one twisted pair while still supporting power over data lines (PoDL), up to 10 Mbit/s over 1 km for sensor networks and higher data rates such as 25 or 40 Gbit/s over shorter distances. The smaller connectors, simplified wiring and clear polarity reduce installation effort and error risk, while enabling end-to-end IP communication down to the field device. Combined with Weidmüller’s global engineering presence and strong German R&D base, the SPE and SNAP IN portfolios position the company as a key player in making control cabinets more modular, networked and easy to assemble.

Microchip uses this interview to walk through its 10BASE-T1S MPoE sustainability demo: a complete At SPS 2025 in Nuremberg, the team models a small house with two floors and a basement plus an external heat pump, all interconnected over 10BASE-T1S. Presence detectors in each room decide whether the heating system should run, and the logic is orchestrated in the cloud so that heat is only delivered when occupants are detected. 10BASE-T1S itself is a 10 Mb/s Single Pair Ethernet physical layer defined in IEEE 802.3cg, using a single balanced pair in a multidrop bus topology to connect several nodes over short distances while staying within a unified Ethernet architecture.

A key aspect of the demo is MPoE (Multidrop Power over Ethernet) based on the emerging IEEE 802.3da specification, which delivers both data and up to around 100 W of power over the same single-pair cable to all the nodes on the segment. This is particularly relevant for retrofits and constrained installation spaces, where pulling separate power lines for room controllers and sensors is expensive or impractical. By using Single Pair Ethernet with power over data lines, the wiring harness becomes simpler, lighter and easier to scale as more sensors and actuators are added across the building.

All intelligence in the demo is concentrated in a central application node; the remote 10BASE-T1S devices are purely controlled over Ethernet and do not embed their own microcontrollers or application firmware. This architecture, supported by Microchip’s LAN865x MAC-PHY and LAN867x PHY families, keeps software development, regression testing and maintenance in one place while the field devices remain simple Ethernet endpoints. ([microchip.com][1]) The result is a cleaner path from prototyping to deployment for OEMs who want to build cloud-connected, occupancy-aware heating systems and other building or industrial automation use cases on top of a standard, edge-to-cloud Ethernet stack.

Instead of trying to solve every scenario at once, Lunes focuses on a narrow but high-impact use case: operating CNC milling machines and similar assets. The humanoid or industrial robot opens the machine door, removes finished metal parts, inserts new blanks and closes the door again, transforming a human-intensive, boring station into semi-autonomous machine tending. The goal is not to replace skilled operators, but to free them from low-skill loading cycles so they can supervise multiple cells, manage quality and optimize process uptime.

To train their team and validate their software stack, Lunes also develops internal demo cells such as a chess-playing robot. Here, an industrial robot executes the physical moves on a real board while a chess engine computes the strategy, giving junior developers a safe playground for motion planning, collision avoidance, calibration and human-robot interaction. The demo travels from fair to fair and is continuously improved, serving as a living regression test for control software and integration practice.

On the AI side, Lunes uses vision-language models (VLMs) to detect and classify workpieces, aligning camera perception with the robot’s coordinate frames. For complex grasping tasks, they apply vision-language-action (VLA) concepts: engineers teleoperate the robot and demonstrate a grip trajectory many times, effectively performing imitation learning so the model can reproduce the motion autonomously. By combining deterministic PLC-style logic with data-driven perception and learned manipulation, they aim for systems that are simple enough to certify yet flexible enough to cope with part variety and real-world tolerances, improving robustness and cycle-time performance.

Filmed at SPS 2025 in Nuremberg, this interview captures an early snapshot of Lunes’ journey from traditional automation engineering into humanoid machine tending. The focus is squarely on pragmatic deployment: integrating humanoids and industrial arms into existing CNC fleets, working with machine OEM partners, and building software that fits industrial expectations around safety, maintainability and lifecycle. Rather than chasing generic “general purpose” robots, Lunes is mapping a stepwise roadmap where each narrow use case—starting with CNC loading—earns its place on the factory floor as part of a realistic humanoid automation roadmap.

Canonical’s Oliver Graw explains how Ubuntu Core and Ubuntu Pro for Devices form a hardened embedded Linux stack for industrial and edge AI use cases, combining a real-time kernel, strict confinement via snaps, over-the-air transactional updates and long-term security maintenance on top of Ubuntu LTS releases. This gives OEMs a consistent platform from development laptop to factory floor and cloud, with the same packaging model, toolchain and security posture across their fleet. https://ubuntu.com/core

In the demo, Canonical showcases the new Qualcomm Dragonwing IQ9 platform (IQ-9075) as a compact edge AI controller certified for Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, capable of running real-time workloads and on-device inference on the same SoC. Co-engineered Ubuntu images for Qualcomm IoT platforms expose the NPU, GPU and heterogeneous compute engines to AI frameworks while still benefiting from Pro’s 10-year security maintenance, device management and access to the real-time kernel via subscription. This gives system integrators a single Linux distribution for edge inference, deterministic control loops and fleet management at scale.

Another highlight is a joint demo with Intel and congatec, where a congatec board and real-time hypervisor host three Ubuntu virtual machines: one Ubuntu Core instance running OpenVINO-based computer vision for ball tracking, one real-time Ubuntu Core instance closing the control loop for balancing, and a third VM handling HMI and supervisory control.([Canonical][4]) It illustrates how mixed-criticality workloads can be consolidated onto a single x86 platform while preserving deterministic latency for motion control and keeping user interfaces and AI pipelines isolated from the hard real-time domain. This pattern is increasingly common in factory automation, robotics and machine vision today.

Oliver also dives into Canonical’s hardware-certification pipeline, where industrial PCs and boards are tested in a dedicated lab before each kernel release to ensure driver stability, performance and long-term supportability. That process underpins Ubuntu Certified Hardware and ties directly into security frameworks like Ubuntu Pro, IEC 62443-4-1 and Canonical’s broader strategy for EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) compliance, so OEMs can ship connected devices with a maintained bill of materials and documented vulnerability-management processes.([Canonical][5]) Combined with OTA snaps and image-based updates, this reduces both certification risk and lifetime maintenance cost for industrial vendors.

Beyond x86 and Arm, Ubuntu is expanding across RISC-V boards and even space-borne systems, with Ubuntu 24.04 LTS images and upcoming RVA23-class releases targeting new RISC-V SoCs while still offering the familiar developer experience and security maintenance path.([Ubuntu][6]) In this SPS Nuremberg 2025 interview, Oliver reflects on two decades at Canonical, seeing Ubuntu move from a desktop distro to an embedded platform powering industrial robots, digital signage, transportation infrastructure, satellites and more, showing how a single Linux codebase can span from lab to factory to orbit.

AMC iFactoryX is a modular edge-to-cloud platform for collecting and processing machine, sensor and robot data across industrial sites, built on Advantech hardware and open industrial protocols. It connects legacy and new equipment via Edge IoT DAQ gateways and remote I/O, normalizes telemetry and exposes it to on-premise or cloud analytics for condition monitoring and predictive maintenance across the factory floor and building infrastructure, keeping a single, consistent data model for all connected equipment. https://www.amc-systeme.de/amc-ifactoryx.html

In the demo, AMC simulates a compact factory with motors, breathing machines and other loads instrumented by vibration, temperature and humidity sensors, all streamed into a unified dashboard. Data can be mirrored both locally and in the cloud, so values such as vibration levels are identical in on-prem views and remote web UIs, enabling engineers to correlate events, track asset health over hours, weeks or months and move toward data-driven maintenance planning that protects uptime.

Filmed at the Advantech booth during SPS in Nuremberg, this interview shows how AMC, a long-standing Analytik & Messtechnik partner of Advantech, layers its iFactoryX software stack on top of WISE-Edge IoT and Linux-based gateways. The architecture supports industrial protocols like Modbus, OPC UA, MQTT, EtherCAT and LoRaWAN, making it possible to integrate third-party machines and brownfield equipment while scaling to thousands of edge devices without changing the overall data pipeline and visualization ecosystem.

For manufacturers cautious about the impact of digitalization projects, AMC packages iFactoryX as a starter kit co-branded with Advantech, giving smaller plants an affordable entry into Industry 4.0 while still being able to extend to large multi-line sites later. The same stack can be deployed purely on-premise for latency-sensitive use cases, or combined with public cloud for fleet-wide monitoring, alarm handling and long-term trend analysis, providing a pragmatic path from simple data logging to full predictive maintenance strategy.

Advantech’s EdgeHub platform is presented as a central control plane for remote operation of industrial I/O, gateways and embedded PCs, giving OT teams a single interface for onboarding, monitoring and configuring distributed assets. It ties together ADAM remote I/O, WISE wireless modules, protocol gateways and IPCs so you can manage both edge connectivity and data flows without custom tooling, from device registration through to tag mapping and alarm handling. https://wise-iot.advantech.com/en-int/marketplace/product/advantech.edgehub

In the demo they focus on how a tenant encapsulates a licensed quota of devices and tags, with clear states such as construction versus operation, plus online and offline status for each node. A WISE-4012E/412E class Wi-Fi Modbus TCP I/O module is used as an example, exposing analog inputs, digital inputs and relay outputs that are all surfaced into EdgeHub’s dashboard so you can see live process values and discrete states in real time, instead of logging into each module individually. The result is a lightweight SCADA-style view built directly on top of wireless field I/O and edge aggregation, ready to be integrated into higher-level cloud analytics or MES platforms

In this conversation from SPS 2025 in Nuremberg, the team shows how EdgeLink-based gateways extend this model by bridging industrial controllers and fieldbuses into the same management and telemetry fabric. An ARM-based gateway and an Intel Atom x6413E-powered UNO-127 DIN-rail IPC can both run the EdgeLink runtime, acting as protocol converters that collect data from Siemens, Mitsubishi or Rockwell PLCs via Modbus and expose it upstream as OPC UA servers, Modbus servers or MQTT publishers to cloud backends or SCADA systems. LoRaWAN gateways such as the WISE-6610 can simultaneously ingest data from smart sensors like the WISE-2410 vibration node, enabling condition monitoring and predictive maintenance across widely distributed equipment. This turns EdgeHub into a focal point for mixed-protocol industrial monitoring

Beyond device onboarding and data routing, the EdgeHub UI exposes an App Hub repository and OTA pipeline so system integrators can push containerised applications, custom runtimes or configuration bundles to gateways and IPCs at scale. Apps are uploaded once into the repository and then dispatched to selected nodes, together with firmware upgrades, Windows updates or configuration files, all controlled via over-the-air workflows instead of manual site visits. This aligns with WISE-Edge365 and EdgeSync concepts, where device management, software lifecycle and telemetry are treated as one continuous edge operations process rather than separate projects

Security and lifecycle governance also feature prominently, with support for X.509 certificate-based authentication, TLS-encrypted channels and allowlisting to protect remote I/O and gateways from unauthorised access while still enabling cross-site management from a central console. For enterprises rolling out hundreds or thousands of ADAM and WISE modules, LoRaWAN sensors and EdgeLink gateways, the combination of multi-tenant licensing, protocol abstraction and secure OTA distribution makes EdgeHub a pragmatic tool for unifying OT device fleets into a coherent edge-to-cloud architecture

In the video, Shuttle highlights its Jetson Orin Nano and Orin NX based edge computers that deliver up to around 40 TOPS and 100 TOPS of AI inference respectively, supported by LPDDR5 memory and industrial-grade NAND. The units are passively cooled with a large top-mounted heatsink, feature dual LAN, HDMI, multiple USB ports and flexible DC power input, making them suitable for real-time computer vision, sensor fusion and other latency-sensitive edge workloads on site.

Use cases discussed range from rolling-stock and transit applications to smart city deployments, where fanless and vibration-resistant systems are essential for reliability over long lifecycles. Industrial-temperature RAM and SSD modules from Silicon Power help keep the platform stable in harsh environments, while Shuttle’s embedded design focuses on EMC compliance, wide operating temperature envelopes and low maintenance in the field.

Recorded at Embedded World North America in Anaheim, this conversation also touches on Shuttle’s North and South American presence from its City of Industry office and the fact that these edge systems are already in mass production. The result is a compact edge AI platform that fits neatly into traffic monitoring, digital signage, video analytics and automation projects where quiet operation and local processing are more important than sheer rack-scale computing.

A key theme in the video is modernization without a full rip-and-replace of existing environments. Fusion is presented as a framework that overlays current compute and storage, automating deployment of container-based services and virtualized workloads while keeping policy, security and observability consistent. The result is a common control plane for data serving AI training, inferencing, analytics and more, instead of separate silos for each type of workload and each generation of infrastructure

On top of this foundation, IBM is now adding content-aware storage capabilities. Rather than only cataloging file paths and basic metadata, the system can understand “who, what, when and where” inside the stored content itself, enabling AI-style queries directly against the storage layer. Chris uses an example like asking which meetings he had at a past supercomputing conference and who he presented to; the storage stack can surface that context by inspecting the data, allowing more powerful inferencing and reducing the friction between unstructured archives and AI-driven insight

The demo also highlights IBM’s deep archive solution, which couples Fusion’s software-defined stack with high-density tape libraries. Data generated by AI and other workloads in Fusion can be tiered automatically into an S3-compatible, Glacier-like deep archive that remains searchable but optimized for low-cost, long-term retention. Chris mentions a single rack reaching on the order of 61 petabytes with robotic tape handling and aggregate throughput around 13.1 terabytes per hour, making tape a relevant option again for cold data, cyber-resilient backups and long-horizon compliance use cases where energy efficiency and durability matter more than millisecond access

Recorded at the Supercomputing 2025 conference in St Louis, this conversation positions IBM Storage as an integral part of large-scale AI and HPC infrastructure rather than a passive backend. Fusion, content-aware storage and deep archive together form a continuum from hot GPU-adjacent datasets through warm object storage down to ultra-cold tape, all managed under a common policy and orchestration layer. For architects building hybrid cloud AI platforms, the video gives a concise look at how IBM is trying to collapse complexity in the data pipeline while keeping options open across hardware, locations and scale in the wider ecosystem

The demo focuses on Bluetooth LE Audio’s broadcast capabilities, branded by the Bluetooth SIG as Auracast, where a single transmitter can stream synchronized audio to many independent receivers. Thanks to LC3, LE Audio maintains intelligible sound quality at significantly lower bitrates than Classic, improving robustness in noisy RF environments and reducing power consumption in hearables and wearables Jeffrey walks through how this makes assistive listening more flexible: instead of pairing to each listener, audio from a phone, set-top box or media processor can simply be advertised and subscribed to by compatible earbuds, hearing aids or public receivers in the same ecosystem

In the conversation you also hear how Infineon addresses interference in dense spaces by deploying multiple LE Audio relay nodes across a room, each rebroadcasting the Auracast stream so attendees always remain within good RF coverage. Combined with CYW5551x’s high transmit power and long-range LE sensitivity, this makes it feasible to scale assistive listening or multi-listener audio to conference halls, lecture theatres, museums or transport hubs without complex pairing workflows or dedicated cabling infrastructure

Recorded at Embedded World North America 2025 in Anaheim, this booth demo situates the CYW5551x within Infineon’s broader AIROC wireless roadmap, where the same connectivity platform can be hosted by Linux or RTOS systems and reused across headsets, TVs, soundbars, conferencing bars and industrial HMIs For product designers, the key takeaway is that CYW5551x is not just a Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combo, but a migration path from legacy Bluetooth Classic audio to LE Audio and Auracast, enabling next-generation hearing-assistance and shared-audio experiences with a consistent connectivity and software stack suitable for long-lived embedded engineering

The Motion Pro i, Motion Slim i and Motion Lite i systems are positioned as flexible IPCs with Intel Core processors (up to 12th/13th/14th Gen), rich front I/O and PCIe expansion for camera interfaces or GPUs, enabling machine vision, visualization and control workloads in a compact chassis. Railon Pro i targets DIN-rail cabinets with multiple GbE and real-time Ethernet ports, while Aeron Lite i and Aeron Max i bring energy-efficient edge computing based on Intel Alder Lake Atom and low-power Core CPUs. Across these form factors, Pyramid balances passive or active cooling, wall or DIN mounting and OEM customization through its AKHET platform.

Filmed at Embedded World North America 2025 in Anaheim, the video also touches on typical deployment patterns in North American projects. Pyramid North America supports use cases ranging from simple media players driving digital content screens to interactive kiosks that process payments and front-end transactions at the edge, often as part of a distributed retail or franchise network. The same hardware families can be hardened for factory floors, where they sit close to machines, sensors and PLCs to run HMI applications, data logging or local analytics.

A key theme throughout is unifying industrial PCs, kiosks and servers under one vendor so customers can standardize their edge stack. Pyramid leverages its background in self-service terminals and POS/kiosk systems to design A-frame displays and kiosk-ready enclosures that hide the industrial PC while exposing only the required touch, card, printer or scanner interfaces. For OEMs and system integrators walking the show, this portfolio offers a path to deploy consistent AKHET-based compute nodes across production lines, retail stores and public venues, with options from low-power Aeron gateways up to Azure-local-certified Endurance servers.

MSI’s industrial division showcases how it extends its consumer PC heritage into rugged embedded platforms, spanning compact box PCs and long-lifecycle industrial motherboards for OEM and system integrator projects. Their IPC portfolio focuses on fanless and high-performance box PCs across ultra-slim, slim and compact form factors, plus edge computers and IoT gateways for AIoT deployments in factories, transportation and smart retail. https://ipc.msi.com/

Tony starts with small industrial box PCs aimed at the factory floor, including an actively cooled metal chassis that stays light and easy to mount, and a slightly larger fanless design for dusty production lines where eliminating moving parts is critical. These systems target industrial automation, machine control and data logging, combining Intel-based CPUs with a variety of serial ports, Ethernet and USB so that integrators can bridge legacy fieldbuses and modern IP networks in a compact embedded form factor.

MSI also highlights dedicated in-vehicle and fleet-management PCs that bring the same embedded design language into transportation use cases like logistics, public transport and in-vehicle infotainment. These rugged systems focus on vibration resistance, wide-temperature operation and DC power input, while ultra-slim signage-oriented PCs with HDMI and DisplayPort outputs can disappear behind a screen to drive kiosks, information panels or 4K digital signage in smart retail and public spaces.

For higher compute budgets MSI shows an embedded platform based on Intel P-series processors, aimed at edge workloads that demand more CPU headroom and richer I/O while still fitting into compact, fanless or low-noise enclosures. Around these systems, MSI IPC offers ATX, Mini-ITX and small-form-factor industrial boards with typical lifecycle support of around 5–7 years, giving machine builders and transportation or smart-factory customers a consistent hardware baseline from prototype to long-term rollout, as demonstrated in this interview filmed at Embedded World North America 2025 in Anaheim.

The video explores how STMicroelectronics brings edge AI into a smart rear-view mirror demo built on the new STM32N6 microcontroller, using on-chip neural processing to run YOLOv8n object detection and semantic segmentation directly on the MCU while streaming compressed video to a phone. It shows how cars, trucks, buses, cyclists and pedestrians are classified in real time at around 24 frames per second, all from a microcontroller footprint instead of an application processor. https://www.st.com/en/microcontrollers-microprocessors/stm32n6-series.html

At the heart of the board is an Arm Cortex-M55 core paired with ST’s Neural-ART accelerator NPU delivering up to 600 GOPS and roughly 3 TOPS per watt, backed by 4.2 MB of embedded RAM for buffering feature maps and camera data efficiently. An integrated image signal processor prepares the sensor stream for the AI accelerator while a hardware H.264 encoder and connectivity blocks handle video compression and Wi-Fi streaming, so the same chip can both understand the scene and deliver it to an external display without extra external hardware.

The smart rear-view mirror concept illustrates how this computing budget can be used for pixel-level semantic segmentation of the full frame instead of simple bounding boxes, enabling more robust perception for driver assistance, fleet monitoring or lightweight ADAS. Running YOLOv8n-class models at around 24 FPS within a power envelope of only a few hundred milliwatts makes it viable for always-on automotive and two-wheeler systems where thermal headroom is tight and cost per node must remain low.

Beyond automotive, the interview touches on other STM32N6-based demos including speech enhancement, where the same NPU pipeline is used to clean up noisy audio on-device, and precision seed dispensing, where AI helps regulate real-time seed flow to avoid clogging in agricultural machinery. Together they show how computer vision, audio processing and control loops can coexist on one MCU platform for industry, smart agriculture and embedded sensing.

To help developers get from idea to deployment, ST points viewers to its ST Edge AI and STM32 AI ecosystem, including the ST Edge AI Developer Cloud, STM32Cube.AI code generation, model zoo examples such as semantic segmentation, and production-ready discovery kits and dev boards now in volume. Filmed at Embedded World North America 2025 in Anaheim, this conversation gives a concise snapshot of how STMicroelectronics positions the STM32N6 as a high-performance edge AI microcontroller for real-world embedded engineering.

Acontis presents its Alasis real-time hypervisor running multiple deterministic Linux controllers and a Windows HMI on a single Advantech UNO-148 edge IPC, consolidating motion control, virtual PLC logic and supervisory functions for EtherCAT-based machines and robots in one compact DIN-rail system https://www.acontis.com/

The discussion dives into how the Debian-based hypervisor hosts several Yocto real-time Linux guests alongside Windows, each with dedicated access to fieldbuses and I/O while sharing the same 11th Gen Intel Core platform inside the UNO-148 edge controller, removing the need for separate PLC and SCADA PCs in industrial cabinets.

Acontis walks through the real-time behaviour of these Linux guests, showing a 1 kHz EtherCAT control loop with only around 8 µs jitter on top of a 1 ms cycle, something you cannot reliably achieve with a general-purpose Windows scheduler; even if Windows reboots or crashes, up to five hardened PREEMPT_RT Linux instances keep the motion and I/O control loops deterministic and isolated from non-real-time workloads.

On top of the hypervisor, the demo highlights the EC-Master EtherCAT master stack running in user space on real-time Linux and driving multiple EtherCAT subdevices, while a virtual PLC based on CODESYS executes IEC 61131-3 logic on another guest, illustrating how the same IPC can host low-level motion in C/C++ and higher-level PLC programs across x86 and ARM targets using the same toolchain and APIs.

The conversation also touches on how EC-Master and the acontis real-time hypervisor portfolio are used by OEMs across robotics, semiconductor manufacturing, medical devices and aerospace machines, leveraging EtherCAT and virtual controllers to meet strict latency requirements while still benefiting from Windows-based UX, diagnostics and data logging on the same hardware.

Filmed at the Advantech booth during SPS 2025 in Nuremberg, this video captures a concrete example of converging PLC, motion control and HMI workloads into a single industrial edge platform, simplifying cabinet design while keeping deterministic EtherCAT performance at the core of the architecture.
