A practical theme is form-factor and interface flexibility: NVMe U.2 in 2.5-inch carriers for servers, classic 2.5-inch SATA for broad compatibility, and compact M.2 cards (2230/2280) for tight embedded layouts. On the PCIe side, Transcend is pushing Gen4x4 NVMe designs with DRAM cache, tuned firmware, and power-loss protection variants where data integrity has to survive sudden power cuts, too.

For industrial deployments, ruggedization is treated as an engineering process, not a marketing label. Wide-temperature parts (down to -40°C and up to +85°C in the transcript) are validated with long-duration chamber testing, cycling and soaking to expose controller throttling, NAND retention edge cases, and solder/connector fatigue in real heat, here.

The conversation also clarifies what “tier one” means in practice: sourcing higher-grade NAND from major suppliers, then packaging it into modules with consistent BOM control for defense, networking, and telecom environments. The demo kit highlights industrial USB devices used for field software updates (popular in robotics programs) and shows how mSATA, half-slim, and multiple M.2 sizes let OEMs match storage to mechanical constraints, right.

Beyond storage, Transcend is expanding into embedded vision with new camera modules for robotics and human–machine interfaces, pairing imaging with the same manufacturing discipline used for flash products. That move aligns with what they see in the market: AI training and inference workflows driving demand for more local storage bandwidth, lower latency, and reliable edge capture pipelines that keep running when conditions get rough, fast.

In analysis mode, Promira acts like a high-fidelity bus sniffer: it taps the lines, timestamps traffic, decodes protocol frames, and streams transactions live to the host UI. That real-time decode matters because you can keep the system running, interact with the device, and immediately correlate a wrong LED state (or any misbehavior) with the exact address, register, and payload that caused it, quickly.

In active mode, the same platform can also talk on the bus: it can generate transactions, emulate a controller, and deliberately manipulate devices to reproduce bugs or validate edge cases. The demo shows closed-loop work where a controller changes LED values while a second Promira instance monitors the bus simultaneously, giving you a tight feedback loop for debugging and test, cleanly.

They also position Promira as an upgrade path that consolidates capabilities previously split across dedicated adapters and analyzers, with features unlocked via software licensing as needs grow. Alongside Promira, the lineup spans USB and CAN interfaces for protocol bring-up, regression verification, and lab automation, and they hint at future ML-assisted anomaly detection and decode aids, though nothing is committed yet.

A separate part of the booth highlights Total Phase’s Advanced Cable Tester for production environments, using interchangeable modules to validate cable continuity, resistance, and signal-integrity targets for common connectors such as USB-C and HDMI. The emphasis is repeatable factory QA across batches rather than certification, with measurements that help catch marginal assemblies before they become field issues, at Embedded World North America 2025.

Qt Group’s pitch here is that modern embedded UI shouldn’t feel “embedded” anymore: Qt for MCUs is a lightweight graphics framework that brings phone-like interaction patterns (sliders, scrolling, transitions) onto microcontrollers with tight RAM/flash budgets, while keeping latency low enough to feel responsive on touch and rotary inputs. The key idea is that you can ship a richer HMI without jumping straight to a full MPU platform, and still keep deterministic behavior and cost where an MCU makes sense. https://www.qt.io/qt-for-mcus

A big part of the workflow story is designer–developer handoff: screens are authored in Figma, imported via a bridge into Qt Design Studio, then translated into an optimized embedded UI pipeline that preserves a pixel-for-pixel layout while generating assets and logic suitable for constrained targets. After import, engineers can still tune the result using a property editor and object hierarchy (rather than rewriting visuals by hand), which matters when you’re iterating UX alongside hardware constraints like frame buffer strategy, asset compression, and rendering load on a Cortex-M core.

Filmed at Embedded World North America 2025, the booth demos span multiple silicon families to underline portability: examples run on NXP (including an i.MX RT-class MCU mentioned as “1060”), Infineon platforms like TRAVEO, and a newly launched Infineon edge processor board referenced as “PSoC Edge.” The takeaway is less about any single chip and more about keeping one UI stack that can scale from bare-metal/RTOS MCU deployments up to Qt’s larger footprint on application-class processors, with the same interaction model carrying over across product tiers there.

On the “how is this even possible on a few megabytes” side, the demos show tricks like 2.5D-style animation and layered gauges that read like an instrument cluster, but are engineered for MCU realities: fewer abstractions, tighter control of timing, and careful budgeting of textures, fonts, and scene graphs. Qt highlights support across common embedded OS choices (bare metal, FreeRTOS, Zephyr, and AUTOSAR in automotive contexts), and contrasts this with GPU-accelerated Qt experiences on newer NXP i.MX parts (an i.MX95 example is shown for a medical-style UI with ranges and charts).

The broader direction they hint at is the convergence of MCU and MPU capabilities: more hybrid SoCs that deliver MPU-like graphics (and increasingly edge AI hooks) at MCU-like cost and power. That shows up in adjacent demos too, including an industrial “smart plant” concept (safety PPE detection and predictive maintenance) and an aerospace/defense MOSA-oriented interface example aimed at modular, spec-driven UI components that can be reused and refreshed across long-lived programs without re-platforming the whole stack each time, which is the real adoption path.

A central focus of the video is ATRO, Beckhoff’s modular industrial robot system, built from motor modules with integrated EtherCAT servo drives and safety plus passive link modules in various geometries and lengths. Customers assemble their own 4- to 6-axis or palletizing kinematics like Lego, tuning payload and reach by simply choosing different link modules rather than buying a new robot family. Internal routing for power, communication and compressed air eliminates external cable loops and enables endless rotation on every axis, so trajectories can take the shortest path and increase throughput. ATRO is fully integrated into TwinCAT, so the “robot controller” becomes just another real-time software task on the existing IPC instead of a separate hardware cabinet.

Beyond robotics, the tour shows Beckhoff’s mechatronic transport platforms, including the planar motor system used in their own IO-terminal production for low-volume “long tail” variants, and the XTS eXtended Transport System where independently controlled movers glide on an EtherCAT-driven stator track of power-electronics coils and permanent magnets. This allows highly flexible product handling, shorter machine footprints and individualized motion profiles per workpiece instead of rigid indexing conveyors. The interview, filmed at SPS Nuremberg 2025, underlines how such intelligent transport is now a core design element in packaging, pharma and general machinery rather than a niche option in experimental layouts.

Another key topic is cabinet-free automation with the MX-System, where sealed IP67 baseplates distribute power and communication to plug-in function modules that replace large parts of a traditional control cabinet. ([Beckhoff Automation][3]) Industrial PCs, power supplies, drives and I/O become modular building blocks that mount directly on the machine, cutting long cable runs and enabling commissioning in hours instead of days. Because many classic cabinet functions are combined into smart modules, users reduce component count and simplify spare-part strategies, while QR/data-matrix codes and app-based diagnostics make fault-finding accessible even for non-electricians, improving overall maintainability.

Beckhoff highlights how TwinCAT runs on Windows, Linux or BSD-based industrial PCs, supports containerized runtimes and can host multiple independent TwinCAT instances on one IPC to match modular machine segments. AI and machine learning are tightly coupled, with tools that automate neural-network training and deploy inference models directly in the real-time context, alongside integrated TwinCAT Vision with Beckhoff cameras, optics and illumination for end-of-line inspection. TwinCAT Core Boost then adds per-core turbo control, overclocking selected real-time or user-mode cores by up to around 50% to squeeze more deterministic performance out of standard Intel®/AMD multi-core CPUs and sometimes even step down to smaller processors, reducing hardware costs while keeping control performance ready for future workloads.

A concrete example is pairing NXP platforms with Kinara’s Ara-2 neural accelerator, which targets up to 40 eTOPS for on-device inference. In practice that’s about pushing transformer and CNN workloads through quantized INT8/INT4 pipelines, keeping memory traffic and thermals under control while still enabling LLM, VLM, and multimodal perception close to the camera or gateway device

Rather than “edge vs cloud,” the pattern described is a split pipeline: train and evaluate in the cloud, then compile, calibrate, and deploy optimized models on-device, with selective telemetry back to the cloud for monitoring and continuous improvement. NXP leans heavily on software here—toolchains, SDKs, and ML runtimes, plus strong engagement with open source ecosystems like Zephyr RTOS to keep the developer stack portable

The broader context is also supply and geography: NXP is headquartered in Austin, while expanding Europe manufacturing alignment via the ESMC joint venture in Dresden with partners including TSMC, Bosch, and Infineon. Filmed on the Embedded World North America 2025 show floor, the takeaway is that edge AI is now less about “can it run” and more about repeatable deployment: performance-per-watt, software maturity, and a clean path from prototype to product

On the demo side, the interesting bit is how much inference stays on the device. A Linux edge box runs multiple computer-vision models in parallel (face, mouth, eyes) aimed at worker-safety analytics, while other “production ready” edge models focus on gesture detection and voice-assistant style interaction. The cloud link is used for fleet visibility and, critically, for capturing labeled data so models can be retrained and redeployed through a tighter MLOps loop in the cloud.

This segment was filmed at Embedded World North America 2025, and it’s basically a hands-on workshop format: attendees open a kit and, within about an hour, see a supplier board connected and reporting into the cloud. The lineup spans NXP microcontrollers (MCX) and MPU dev boards (i.MX93 class), plus connectivity paths that map to real deployments in the Americas, including Amazon Sidewalk and AWS IoT Core for LoRaWAN-style device onboarding in the field.

A lot of the flow is anchored in Ubuntu and containerized delivery: the /IOTCONNECT Snap on Snapcraft lets teams standardize install and updates across heterogeneous edge hardware. The booth also points to higher-end edge compute like Seeed Studio platforms with NVIDIA Jetson Xavier NX, and Avnet’s Tria Technologies modules, including Qualcomm Dragonwing QCS6490-based Vision AI kits (SMARC form factor) for multi-camera vision workloads with CPU/GPU/DSP/NPU acceleration at the edge.

Newark (Premier Farnell in Europe) sits in the practical middle layer: stocked dev boards and lab gear (Tektronix, Fluke, Keysight class tools), plus a bridge from prototype to volume via Avnet partners—illustrated here with drone telemetry and maker-style demos like Raspberry Pi 5 running YOLO on a vision camera and pushing counts upstream. The takeaway is an ecosystem play: edge AI on many silicon families, with a fast, consistent route into cloud operations and lifecycle management at scale.

A recurring theme is edge AI packaged as deployable hardware, not just a chipset badge. The demo points at multi-camera analytics (roughly tens of video streams) where CPU + GPU/NPU throughput, memory bandwidth, and I/O determinism matter as much as raw TOPS. That fits deployments such as facial recognition, vision-based inspection, and local inference where latency and data-sovereignty keep processing on site.

On the system side, the tour contrasts fanless industrial boxes with more expansion-oriented designs. You see boxes tuned for factory and process automation with fixed, rugged I/O, and a thinner Ryzen-based unit highlighting multi-display output (multiple HDMI) for signage, control rooms, or operator panels. For heavier workloads, they point to a tower-style server configuration that pairs Intel Xeon-class platforms with add-in graphics for GPU-accelerated analysis and rendering.

The conversation is framed by Embedded World North America 2025, where visitors typically arrive with either a board-level design they need to finalize, or an installed base they want to modernize into an industrial gateway, edge server, or compact “industrial DC” node. The takeaway is the breadth of compute envelopes—from tiny embedded boards to accelerator-ready server boards—aimed at bridging OT constraints with modern x86 edge computing.

A core theme here is functional safety: GL Studio includes a safety-critical code generator and runtime library built around requirements traceability, verification/validation, and independent assessment, so UI logic can be argued and audited like any other safety feature. Chris Giordano calls out certification paths spanning DO-178C for avionics (with DO-330 TQL-1 tool qualification) and ISO 26262 work for automotive, and frames “safety critical” as proving every line of code behaves as specified, with regression tests and reviews tied back to the original requirements to reduce certification risk.

The demo, recorded at Embedded World 2025 North America, runs on a Toradex Verdin i.MX95 platform under both Yocto Linux and QNX, with an OpenGL ES graphics stack. Instead of a canned loop, the UI is driven live: zooming into quad views, walking through sub-menus, triggering declutter animations, flipping into navigation-style screens, and switching languages (including Korean) to show how localization and layout can stay coherent in motion on a show floor.

A practical engineering point is hardware/OS agnosticism: the same runtime is meant to land on many SoCs and RTOSes, and the setup shown layers the OS, graphics middleware, and the GL Studio app layer cleanly on top of reference hardware such as a Telechips Dolphin 5 Plus, with safety-oriented GPU classes like Arm Mali G78AE in the mix. The conversation also highlights that in space and some defense programs, “just use a GPU” can be unrealistic because rad-hard GPU options are limited, so a UI toolchain needs credible paths for constrained or CPU-heavy rendering while still preserving testability, determinism, and safety evidence along that path.

For even tighter devices, GL Studio Micro targets MCU-class systems that may have no OpenGL support at all, aiming for responsive graphics with a small footprint and fast startup. The broader takeaway is that modern HMI work is as much about certification artifacts, portability, and predictable runtime behavior as it is about pixels, which helps explain why the same toolchain shows up in vehicles from Jaguar Land Rover and Hyundai/Kia to safety-critical programs today.

ZutaCore explains why two-phase direct-to-chip cooling is showing up everywhere in AI infrastructure: instead of pushing more water through a cold plate, a dielectric fluid boils on the hot surface and carries heat away as vapor, so bubble activity naturally follows local heat flux. The loop then condenses that vapor and returns liquid back to the cold plate, which is why the demo looks like “cooling by boiling” while keeping electronics isolated from conductive coolant.

The key engineering point is that phase change does most of the work: temperature is pinned near the boiling point, and extra power shows up as more vapor generation rather than a runaway junction rise. Because the design targets low flow and low pressure, the mechanical plant can be simpler (smaller pumps, less parasitic power, fewer failure points), while staying safer around IT gear thanks to a non-conductive, non-corrosive fluid in a closed loop.

On the product side, they point to production-ready “server loop” assemblies that arrive factory-integrated on OEM platforms, including an NVIDIA-approved HGX B300 configuration shown on an ASRock Rack system. The conversation anchors on today’s 1,200 W-class accelerators and the need to stay ahead of upcoming heat-flux jumps, noting cold-plate validation figures up to 2,800 W and mentioning mixed CPU/GPU builds such as AMD EPYC plus AMD Instinct MI325X in the same rack.

Rather than framing it as just keeping silicon below a limit, they connect cooling to facility economics: lower fan power, lower pump power, and better overall PUE when racks are dense and power-constrained. In a segment filmed at Supercomputing SC25 in St Louis, a partner discussion with Neuralwatt cites measurements like reduced peak temperature, avoidance of thermal throttling, and a reported lift in inference “tokens per watt” when chip power management is combined with two-phase cooling, aiming at measurable energy efficiency.

They also preview OmniTherm, an orientation-agnostic two-phase cold plate meant for reversed layouts and emerging back-side power delivery, where gravity-sensitive vapor paths can break performance. The takeaway is that ZutaCore is packaging two-phase cooling as a familiar cold-plate integration plus a waterless CDU and loop architecture (including end-of-row CDU designs announced in late 2025), so operators can scale to higher-TDP NVIDIA, AMD, Intel, and custom accelerators without redesigning the chip.

Penguin Solutions walks through OriginAI, their “AI factory” concept: pre-validated rack architectures that balance GPU compute, storage, and networking, then arrive as an integrated system so teams spend less time wiring a bespoke stack and more time running training and inference. The conversation also nods to the company’s Linux heritage and why repeatable operations matter once you move beyond a few test nodes. https://www.penguinsolutions.com/

On the GPU roadmap, OriginAI is being updated to include NVIDIA DGX B300 platforms based on the Blackwell generation, targeting up to 72 petaFLOPs of training throughput and 144 petaFLOPs of inference performance per system, with availability referenced for early 2026. It also highlights NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 GPUs (dual-slot PCIe Gen5, 96GB GDDR7) for more space- and power-aware builds, plus support for AMD Instinct MI355 where that fits the workload mix.

The hardware is presented as modular: servers can come from partner OEM lines (including Dell) or Penguin-branded designs, storage is selectable via partners such as DDN, VAST Data, Pure Storage, or VDURA, and fabrics can be InfiniBand or Ethernet depending on topology and protocol needs. The point is to ship a known-good configuration, with in-factory integration and burn-in testing, so on-site deployment looks more like commissioning than a science project.

The demo then pivots to ICE ClusterWare, the layer that turns bare metal into an operable cluster: BMC control via IPMI or Redfish, PXE boot, DHCP/IP assignment, and image-based provisioning from Linux distros like Rocky/RHEL-style or Ubuntu. Filmed at Supercomputing SC25 in St. Louis, the console shows hundreds of nodes moving from offline to provisioning, with Grafana-style telemetry and a “chain booting” fan-out method to avoid stampeding-herd overload during mass bring-up.

What stands out is the operations focus: failure is assumed (ECC and memory events, NIC issues, GPU faults), and ClusterWare classifies signals, runs health checks, and applies auto-remediation policies—from automated reboots to ticket creation for a swap—while newer releases add network-isolated multi-tenancy for shared clusters. Zooming out, Penguin cites sovereign AI builds like SK Telecom’s Korea cluster reaching production-readiness in August 2025, and also shows it can integrate emerging HPC silicon—including liquid-cooled Open Compute platforms built around NextSilicon accelerator tech for national-lab style work—under one validated architecture scope.

Under the hood, this is a multimodal itinerary search problem: you model routes and schedules as a graph, apply fare rules and availability constraints, then run a combinatorial optimizer to surface chains (direct, one-way, multi-city, or hop-around loops). Tryp.com describes monitoring on the order of ~80M transport options across air/rail/bus, then ranking combinations by price, travel time, and user constraints. The key UX trick is flexibility: search anywhere/anytime, or constrain by a date range and trip length (like “under a week”) and let the engine enumerate a route set.

Once a trip is selected, Tryp.com shows a cost breakdown for transport and accommodation, plus filters to keep the stay type aligned with your preferences (e.g., hotels vs hostels, or apartments via large OTA partners like Booking.com rather than direct Airbnb inventory). In the interview filmed at Web Summit Lisbon 2025, Andre also highlights the operational layer: booking flow, optional hotel add-ons, and getting boarding passes into email and the app, including automated check-in on supported flights, so travel day becomes mostly execution and that stabilizes the workflow.

Business-wise it’s positioned as free-to-use for travelers, with monetization coming from partner economics (affiliate/commission mechanics) while aiming to keep pricing competitive, and the company was reported to have raised €3.1m in early 2025 to scale. The team is distributed across Denmark and multiple EU hubs, which fits the product’s focus on European low-cost carriers plus cross-border rail, where “the best route” is often a data problem, not a destination problem.

NextSilicon is pitching a computing stack that tries to keep legacy HPC code relevant while pushing more work into a dedicated accelerator, instead of forcing every team to rewrite kernels for a new API. In this interview, Dan (principal engineer) frames the goal as “seamless acceleration”: take existing C/C++/Fortran, recompile with a thin LLVM-based toolchain wrapper, and let the compiler carve out regions that map onto the device. https://www.nextsilicon.com/

Product one is Arbel, a high-performance RISC-V CPU core taped out on TSMC 5 nm, positioned as the latency-focused counterpart to the accelerator. The design emphasis is classic out-of-order speculation and high IPC: a very wide front end (10-wide decode is called out), deep instruction windows, and aggressive scheduling to shrink the serial portion of real code at runtime.

Product two is the Maverick dataflow accelerator, where parallel work is represented as a dataflow graph and “projected” onto hardware to build pipelines and duplicate projections for more throughput. The booth signage mentions figures like 20× over CPU and 4× over GPU, but the deeper point is the compilation path: no wholesale rewrite, just recompilation and automatic graph mapping to the device graph.

The hardware story matters too: Gen1 is already deployed for evaluation in several national labs, and Gen2 expands into both single-die PCIe cards (roughly 350 W class) and a higher-power dual-die module coupled with HBM, linked die-to-die to behave like a larger logical device. Partners shown include rack-scale systems and OAM-style platforms (with names like HP, Dell, and Penguin Computing) that attach multiple cards behind one host CPU in a standard server footprint card.

A useful lens here is Amdahl’s law: even “perfect” accelerators stall on the stubborn serial fraction, so pairing a strong CPU core with a throughput machine can raise the ceiling without pretending everything is embarrassingly parallel. Filmed on the SC25 Supercomputing show floor in St. Louis, the conversation lands on developer ergonomics for MPI/OpenMP teams, vectorized kernels, and long-lived codebases that want more FLOP/W without starting from zero in a new programming model there.

Instead of “generic AI outreach,” the emphasis is on context injection: feeding the model your product narrative, qualification criteria, and the target account’s signals so each message aligns problem framing, value prop, and persona fit. On the product side that means simple account linking (via API), conversation-level memory, and workflow primitives like meeting booking, timezone handling, and automated reminders that reduce back-and-forth and missed follow-up.

A useful angle for creators and B2B marketers is the funnel view: build a webinar pipeline, choose between volume and high-fit targeting, then use LinkedIn distribution to drive attendance and post-event engagement. The interview was shot during Web Summit Lisbon 2025, and it also touches on turning long-form recordings into short clips for LinkedIn and YouTube to keep the loop active after the live stream.

For teams with large networks, Sprootal describes using AI to extract and segment first-degree connections or followers into relevance tiers, industry buckets, and decision-maker likelihood, then tuning messaging per segment. That enables practical plays like geo-aware outreach (e.g., “who is near Switzerland this month”) while still staying anchored to a clear ICP so automation supports intent rather than spam.

The takeaway is less “replace SDRs” and more “remove inbox overhead”: consolidate channels, standardize qualification, and let an agent handle scheduling so humans spend time on discovery and closing. It’s positioned as a standalone SaaS rather than a browser extension, which matters when you want shared workflows, auditability, and consistent playbooks across a team.

In this interview from Supercomputing SC25 in St. Louis, SiMa.ai and Advantech frame “physical AI” as an edge-first compute problem: many camera and sensor streams, strict latency, and a power budget that looks nothing like a data center. The demo centers on an Advantech edge server populated with five SiMa.ai MLSoC PCIe accelerator cards, pushing real-time analytics across 80 video channels in a single box, with each card handling up to 16 Full HD 30 fps streams end-to-end. https://sima.ai/

A key point is that the pipeline is not just running neural networks after someone else decodes video. The MLSoC approach pulls decode, pre/post processing, CNN inference, and re-encode onto the accelerator so an x86 host doesn’t become the choke point when channel counts climb. SiMa.ai describes this as heterogeneous compute on one SoC: Arm cores for control/HMI, a vector and computer-vision engine for classic algorithms, plus a purpose-built ML accelerator that can execute both CNN and transformer-style models on one chip.

On the software side, the pitch is a single environment rather than a pile of glue code. Palette is positioned as the suite to develop, compile, deploy, and maintain edge AI apps across PCIe, system-on-module, and chip-down designs, while Edgematic adds a more visual, low-code way to assemble pipelines and validate IO and model behavior. For GenAI, SiMa.ai has been promoting LLiMa inside Palette to automate quantization, memory-aware compilation, and packaging for on-device LLM/VLM execution in one automated flow.

The scaling story is intentionally practical: add cards to add streams, or split mixed workloads across cards (for example segmentation on one card and conversational AI on another) with scheduling handled by the stack. SiMa.ai’s half-height/half-length PCIe board briefs describe low-power operation (often around 10–15 W on typical workloads) and PCIe Gen4 up to x8, while Advantech’s SC25 server material emphasizes large DDR5 capacity and multiple expansion slots to host these accelerators densely without turning the chassis into a GPU rack.

Overall, the conversation is less about peak TOPS and more about throughput-per-watt for “always on” deployments where video IO, memory movement, and deployment friction decide whether an AI feature ships. It’s also a reminder that edge GenAI isn’t only about tokens-per-second—it’s about fitting transformers into real-time, multi-stream perception stacks that need deterministic latency, manageable updates, and predictable power draw, shown here in a partner demo at SC25 there.

In the demo, the system tracks a climber’s path on the wall and estimates balance-relevant signals like center of gravity plus extension/compression patterns, essentially turning video into kinematics. Under the hood this implies markerless pose estimation, temporal smoothing, and trajectory features that can survive occlusions, fast moves, and varied lighting, while still staying interpretable for coaches who want “what to change next” rather than raw telemetry.

A second thread is safety: beyond post-climb analysis, they’re aiming for real-time mistake detection in belay workflow (rope management and other high-risk behaviors), where earlier warning matters more than perfect scoring. The conversation was filmed at Web Summit Lisbon 2025, and it’s interesting how the product direction keeps technique coaching and incident prevention on the same perception pipeline, just with different thresholds and response timing.

The business model is gym-first (subscription for the venue, free for climbers), which fits the installation pattern: fixed cameras watching the wall, identity linking via the QR flow, then lightweight visual re-identification cues (like clothing color) to keep sessions separated. That design choice also opens the door to gym-wide analytics: progression over time, comparing attempts, and eventually a “coach voice” layer that can convert detected posture issues into short, actionable cues.

They also sketch a more social/competitive roadmap: auto-generated highlight clips, style scoring, friend challenges, livestream overlays, and even processing archived footage of elite climbers to explain technique differences. The most credible angle is that once you can reliably segment a climb and extract consistent motion features, you can reuse the same engine for ranking, content creation, and competition tooling without changing the capture setup.

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.

Under the hood, the interesting part is the architecture: instead of one monolithic AI model doing everything, they describe a microservices pipeline where speech is captured, run through low-latency ASR + language ID, then translated (NMT/LLM-style), and finally re-synthesized with TTS and voice-cloning (speaker embedding + prosody/tone matching). That split matters because each stage can be optimized independently for latency budgets, scaling, and failure modes, which is how you even attempt “near real time” in a production voice flow.

The demo focus is on live meetings: translated voice inside video calls, plus multilingual group calls where multiple participants can speak different languages at once (they mention up to 50 participants). Compared with tools that mainly add subtitles, the technical claim here is full speech-to-speech with fast turn-taking, so the “translation layer” becomes part of the audio channel rather than an afterthought on top of the call room.

Hi7o also positions itself as something you can integrate, not only a standalone app: they talk about exposing the capability as an SDK/API and running it as SaaS, where infrastructure cost (compute + realtime media) is a big driver today. Pricing in the interview is described as subscription-based (around 49.50/month), with extra costs potentially tied to usage or added languages, and they emphasize EU-hosted data and security posture like end-to-end encryption as a product requirement rather than marketing noise.

This interview was filmed at Web Summit Lisbon 2025, and it frames Hi7o as an early-stage team still hiring and actively looking to expand partnerships and investor contacts. The most concrete takeaway is the engineering target: low-latency, microservices-based speech translation with voice cloning for calls and meetings, plus a consumer app they say is planned around the end of January 2026, which will be the real test of whether the latency and quality hold up at scale in the wild next.

This interview looks at how Dassault Systèmes is pushing 3DEXPERIENCE “virtual twins” into spatial computing, using the 3DLive enterprise app on Apple Vision Pro. Instead of exporting static geometry, the idea is to keep CAD/PLM context attached (configuration, metadata, revisions) so you can review, annotate, and validate a model in an immersive view, with natural interaction via gaze, hand tracking, and voice. https://www.3ds.com/products/3dexcite/unlock-next-dimension-3dlive

The discussion frames “virtual twin” as more than a classic digital twin: design data plus behavior, constraints, and simulation, so engineering teams can explore alternatives before anything is built. That includes tying mechanical design to electrical routing, BOM, purchasing lists, and downstream manufacturing intent, so design-for-assembly and serviceability can be checked early rather than discovered late at the shopfloor.

Filmed at SPS 2025 in Nuremberg, the booth demo uses an automation cell as a concrete example of the “digital twin first, then build” workflow: create the robot/machine in CAD, validate motion and reach, then bring it into an immersive review for maintenance planning, training, or stakeholder sign-off. It also highlights how different tools fit the stack: SOLIDWORKS for broad mechanical design, CATIA for complex systems (automotive/aerospace), and platform data management to keep everything consistent across teams today.

On the simulation side, SIMULIA is presented as the bridge from geometry to physics: structural and multiphysics checks, plus electromagnetic analysis like RF/EM behavior and 5G propagation around devices and enclosures. For manufacturing, DELMIA extends the same model into process planning, robot programming, line balancing, and manufacturing execution concepts, so a factory layout can be simulated and optimized before commissioning work.

AI shows up in two practical ways: assistive automation and guided UX. SOLIDWORKS 2026 features like Auto-Generate Drawing (beta) aim to create 2D drawings from 3D with proposed views/dimensions, and AURA acts as an in-context companion to retrieve guidance and help users execute workflows on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, keeping humans in control while reducing repetitive CAD documentation effort too.

A big part of that approach sits on SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP): side-by-side add-ons, integrations to adjacent shopfloor and supply-chain systems, and a reporting/analytics layer that turns transactional data into usable KPIs for operations and finance. The aim is fewer “shadow” tools, better process fit-to-standard, and more predictable upgrades that still deliver value.

They frame transformation work with a “3D process analysis” across Lean, SAP standardization, and AI readiness, then connect the findings to an execution toolchain like SAP Signavio, LeanIX, and SAP Cloud ALM for process mining/modeling, enterprise architecture visibility, and lifecycle governance. This interview was filmed at SPS 2025 in Nuremberg, where the booth demo makes that methodology feel concrete in scope.

The most visual piece is an assembly workstation demo: a camera understands the work surface and components, while a projector overlays step-by-step instructions directly onto the table, effectively a pick-by-projection guide with built-in mistake proofing. Behind it sits Orise’s Manufacturing Manager add-on, positioned as SAP-native MES functionality inside SAP ERP/S/4HANA, capturing each step in real time and feeding dashboards like OEE for a tighter IT/OT data flow.

If you care about traceability, takt-time discipline, or reducing paper and manual data entry, the combination of SAP-native execution data plus modern data/analytics (including SAP Business Data Cloud and planning tools) is the real story. It’s less about a flashy demo and more about making production events, quality signals, and work-instruction compliance measurable and reusable across a plant, without breaking the clean core promise there.

On compute, the demo covers fanless embedded designs using ARM platforms (including Raspberry Pi/Broadcom-class and Rockchip variants) alongside Intel Celeron x86 models, plus thicker actively cooled units when you need extra thermal headroom and options like internal SSD. That split maps to typical deployments: low-power ARM for dedicated HMI nodes, and x86 when you need broader OS/app compatibility and heavier visualization or gateway workloads.

Filmed at SPS 2025 in Nuremberg, the booth also shows integrated display panel PCs aimed at harsher sites, including explosion-proof / ATEX-style operator panels for hazardous areas. These are positioned as industrial front panels (often IP65-class at the operator side) with touchscreen choices, wide temperature operation, and mechanical builds in stainless steel or aluminum depending on washdown, corrosion, and hygiene needs.

A practical theme is distance and serviceability: an ID-link KVM approach extends keyboard/video/mouse over a single Cat6 run up to about 100 m via a transmitter/receiver pair, keeping the PC protected in a cabinet while the operator gets a clean arm-mounted screen or handheld station at the machine. Around that are digital remote I/O modules (with analog mentioned as upcoming), industrial keyboards, unusual aspect-ratio displays for retrofit jobs, and teach-pendant style handheld units for robot and CNC control on the factory floor.

The smart UPS piece ties it together: when mains power drops, a local battery-backed module can keep the system alive long enough for a controlled shutdown, protecting filesystems and avoiding awkward machine states. Overall, this is a compact tour of how panel PCs, operator stations, KVM extension, and modular I/O can be combined into a configurable HMI stack that stays stable under heat, dust, vibration, and long cable runs, while keeping maintenance predictable for OEMs and integrators next.

Ulrich Bernardt highlights the breadth of Schmersal’s interlock portfolio, from the ultra-compact AZM40 solenoid interlock for small safety doors and flaps, to the AZM150 electromechanical solenoid interlock with around 1500 N locking force and a 360° rotating actuator head for flexible mounting on sliding or hinged guards. These devices use RFID coding options in line with ISO 14119 to reduce the risk of tampering and can be combined with door handle switches, emergency-stop pushbuttons, and non-contact safety sensors to achieve performance levels up to PL d / Cat 3 in modern machinery. This interlock layer is at the core of how Schmersal builds safe access management around machinery.

All these devices can be wired to a Safety Fieldbox, which aggregates up to eight safety switchgear devices via M12 connectors and exposes them over PROFINET/PROFIsafe, EtherNet/IP with CIP Safety, or EtherCAT with FSoE to a safety PLC. The result is a modular, field-level architecture that reduces hard-wired point-to-point cabling, cuts wiring errors, and simplifies commissioning of safety circuits for robot cells, conveyor lines, and other distributed machines Filmed at SPS 2025 in Nuremberg, the booth layout underlines this split between component level (sensors and interlocks) and system level (fieldboxes, controllers, and services) for scalable safety engineering.

The demonstration also touches on Schmersal’s AM-T100 Time-of-Flight 3D camera, which uses a Sony DepthSense sensor to generate millimetre-accurate depth images at up to 60 fps over ranges of several metres. This kind of ToF vision enables applications such as fill-level monitoring of containers, volumetric measurement, presence detection in logistics, and spatial monitoring around robots or AGVs, complementing classic safety devices with richer process data for industrial automation With roughly 2000 employees and production sites in Europe, Asia, and the Americas, Schmersal positions these technologies as a standard toolkit for machine builders and plant operators who need functional safety and data-driven automation in one coherent ecosystem
