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.

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.

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.

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

The tour moves from classic terminal blocks into high-density data connectors, contactless power transfer for robotics, industrial wireless links and Ethernet-based network infrastructure that bridges field devices with controllers across diverse fieldbus and Industrial Ethernet protocols, as demonstrated on the Phoenix Contact booth at SPS 2025 in Nuremberg. This ties the company’s traditional strengths in connectivity directly to modern requirements for deterministic communication, bandwidth and flexibility in smart manufacturing.

Andreas, who works in cybersecurity and network technology, explains how machine builders now face the EU Cyber Resilience Act, making industrial cybersecurity a regulatory obligation rather than a best-effort option, and how Phoenix Contact aligns its 360° cybersecurity concept with IEC 62443 to cover secure development lifecycles, risk assessments, certified devices and ongoing vulnerability management in industrial infrastructure. The conversation emphasizes that compliance is not just about adding one secure component but about systematically engineering threat modeling, patching strategies and resilience into every connected asset.

The discussion then zooms into concrete hardware such as security routers with gigabit throughput, deep packet inspection firewalls, VPN tunnels and network segmentation, managed switches and media converters, plus a secure cloud service that orchestrates encrypted remote access so OEMs can maintain globally deployed machines without exposing their production perimeter. By combining certified security appliances with centralized firmware and configuration management, Phoenix Contact aims to simplify how smaller machine builders roll out defense-in-depth architectures across heterogeneous plants.

Throughout the walkthrough, Phoenix Contact positions itself not just as a connector manufacturer but as a partner for digital factory design, combining connectivity, automation platforms and industrial security consulting to help customers meet CRA-ready requirements, modernize brownfield assets and build scalable, serviceable production cells that stay resilient over time. The video gives a compact view of how signal, power and data products, together with cybersecurity services, are converging into a unified approach for secure, networked industrial environments today.

In the demo, Virtual PLCnext Control runs on 64-bit ARM and x86 architectures with a Linux OS and real-time patch, instantiated via container engines such as Podman or Docker. Because the controller is hardware-independent and OCI-compliant, it can be rolled out in modern IT environments, including clustered data center servers and hypervisor-based platforms, while still providing deterministic control behaviour for cooling systems, air-conditioning, and other infrastructure workloads.

Engineers can program Virtual PLCnext Control using both IEC 61131-3 languages – structured text, ladder logic, function block diagrams – and high-level languages such as C, C++, Java, and Python. PLCnext Engineer acts as the unified engineering tool for configuration, safety, visualization, diagnostics, and deployment, so the same project can target classic PLCnext hardware controllers or virtual PLCnext instances without rewriting application logic or changing toolchains.

Around the runtime, Phoenix Contact highlights the full PLCnext ecosystem: PLCnext Store as a digital marketplace for ready-to-use apps, protocol stacks such as Modbus TCP, and runtime extensions, and PLCnext Community as a digital hub for documentation, firmware news, cybersecurity advisories, training content, and expert Q&A. This combination supports DevOps-style workflows for industrial automation, including versioned container images, automated updates, and reproducible rollouts across fleets of controllers.

Recorded at SPS 2025 in Nuremberg, the conversation underlines how Virtual PLCnext Control embodies OT/IT convergence by moving real-time OT workloads directly into IT infrastructure. System integrators and OEMs can consolidate control for entire plants or data centers, run multiple PLCnext instances side by side for different zones or customers, and reuse existing PLCnext projects across hardware PLCs and virtualized deployments to support retrofit, scalability, and long-term lifecycle management.

A major theme of the discussion is industrial cybersecurity as a precondition for any serious digitalization project, with Phoenix Contact positioning its 360° security concept, IEC 62443-certified components such as mGuard security routers, and secure development processes as the foundation for CRA and NIS2 conformity across the entire automation stack. This includes security-by-design in controllers like PLCnext Control, hardened industrial routers with integrated VPN and firewall, and services that help operators translate regulatory requirements into practical segmentation, identity management and incident response in factory networks

Equally important is modularity: every “brick” of hardware and software is designed to be freely combinable via open interfaces so that OEMs and plant operators can reconfigure lines, add new cells or retrofit legacy equipment with minimal engineering friction. Phoenix Contact uses the PLCnext Technology ecosystem as a key enabler here, with open Linux-based PLCs, modular engineering tools and a software marketplace that supports classic IEC 61131 languages alongside higher-level environments and IIoT connectivity to cloud platforms, MES and analytics systems

Filmed at SPS 2025 in Nuremberg, the video ties these threads together as a strategic “digital factory now” storyline rather than a single product pitch, explaining how common interfaces, consistent cybersecurity concepts and integrated safety and redundancy allow Phoenix Contact to support customers from small plants to multi-site global manufacturers. The conversation frames digitalization as a continuous journey where secure connectivity, modular architectures and functional safety need to evolve in lockstep, so that incremental upgrades and new use cases can be introduced without disrupting existing production or compromising reliable operation across the plant lifecycle.

In this booth tour from SPS 2025 in Nuremberg, Belden shows how OEMs can connect equipment deployed worldwide through encrypted tunnels while preparing for the EU Cyber Resilience Act by hardening OT networks. Secure access to gateways, role-based policies and continuous monitoring let integrators run remote diagnostics, firmware updates and configuration changes while keeping IT and OT segments isolated and aligned with stricter cybersecurity expectations.

Belden then highlights scalable network infrastructure and unified network management with its “digital data highway” and Belden Horizon console, which discovers industrial assets and supervises complex Ethernet topologies. A new AI-based “digital coworker” proof of concept uses large language models to interpret live telemetry and natural-language intent, so engineers can ask about performance, redundancy or misconfigurations and receive concrete recommendations for safer, more reliable networks.

The video also dives into Belden’s collaborations with Accenture, NVIDIA, Bosch and Reply, where edge AI, computer vision and time-sensitive networking raise worker safety and asset availability on the shop floor. Joint showcases include physical AI safety systems that detect unsafe behavior around robots, digital twins for asset condition monitoring and analytics that turn OT sensor data into guidance for operators during abnormal situations.

Finally, Belden’s experts show how they bridge brownfield architectures from vendors like Siemens and Rockwell, unifying protocols and standards so existing lines can feed data into edge-to-cloud architectures without forklift upgrades. Wireless infrastructure with Wi-Fi 6 and rugged IP67 access points keeps AGVs, mobile robots, warehousing and logistics flows connected, and reference deployments across discrete manufacturing, smart buildings, mass transit and energy demonstrate these networking and AI capabilities at scale.

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.
