Advantech’s European IoT leadership comes through clearly in this conversation with Jash Bansidhar, AVP of Industrial IoT sector for Advantech in Europe. The discussion frames Advantech as a global reference in industrial PCs (more than 40% market share) and industrial I/O, now extended with a broad stack that spans computing, communication, data acquisition and IoT software for edge-to-cloud integration, aligned with the corporate vision of “Enabling an Intelligent Planet.” The result is a hardware and software portfolio that lets OEMs, ISVs and integrators treat Advantech as a one-stop shop for modular, scalable industrial computing across many sectors. https://www.advantech.com/

A major focus in the video is next-generation control and I/O, where Advantech combines its own hardware heritage with key ecosystems such as CODESYS and Bosch Rexroth’s ctrlX OS. ctrlX OS brings Linux-based, app-centric automation with strong cybersecurity properties that map to the EU Cyber Resilience Act, while Advantech contributes UNO edge IPCs, industrial networking and I/O modules to build complete control architectures. The booth also highlights functional safety with virtualized controllers and safety I/O over PROFINET and EtherCAT, pointing toward PLC virtualization, app-based engineering and cyber-resilient plant architectures.

On top of the hardware, Advantech is pushing an IoT and edge software framework that connects OT devices to cloud-native AI pipelines. Their WISE-Edge / WISE-PaaS approach is about IT/OT convergence, normalizing data from controllers, gateways and IPCs and exposing it to AI developers through standardized APIs and SDKs. The wall of logos behind the interview—Intel, AMD, NVIDIA, NXP, Qualcomm, MediaTek, Rockchip and others—illustrates how the framework integrates silicon vendors’ AI stacks so ISVs can target different GPU and CPU platforms with a single architecture while experimenting with agentic AI workflows and agent builders for industrial use cases.

Jash also explains how Advantech organizes itself to support this at scale: local sales, technical and support teams in major European countries, complemented by channel and domain partners close to their customers, plus global R&D hubs in Taiwan, China and Europe. Vertical focus areas include manufacturing, energy and utilities, transportation, retail and healthcare, each with the necessary certifications such as IEC 61131 for PLCs and IEC 61850 for substations. Recorded at the SPS smart production show in Nuremberg, the interview situates Advantech within a wider ecosystem that includes Bosch Rexroth, SALZ Automation and others working on real-time data, predictive maintenance and connected factories.

The conversation closes on edge AI and physical AI, where Advantech is early to adopt NVIDIA Jetson Thor across products like the MIC-743 and dedicated robotics and medical AI platforms, delivering up to roughly 2,070 FP4 TFLOPS at the edge for perception, LLMs and multi-sensor fusion in compact systems. Combined with their automation, networking and IoT software stack, this positions Advantech to support emerging workloads such as humanoid robots on the factory floor, robotic cells, intelligent machines and distributed inferencing across brownfield and greenfield plants, all fed back into a joint silicon and system roadmap with key chip vendors for the coming years.

He explains the extreme power-delivery and packaging needed to run this chip at roughly 25 kW: front-side AC/DC modules, 3D power distribution and dense arrays of regulators positioned close to the wafer to manage around 30,000 amps of current. Because all compute and 44 GB of SRAM sit on a single wafer, the system minimizes off-chip traffic and uses control logic that smooths power ramps with dummy operations when workloads switch off, avoiding destructive current spikes while preserving energy efficiency.

On the architecture side, James describes the WSE-3 as a proprietary dataflow processor designed for strong scaling. Loop induction variables, data movement and network behavior are encoded directly into the instruction set, so a single matrix operation can be spread spatially across the full grid of cores with minimal software overhead. That allows Cerebras to map full transformer layers over the wafer and reach very high inference throughput, with customers reporting large speedups over Nvidia GPU clusters on latency-sensitive language-model serving.

The discussion then shifts to real workloads, including a global shallow-water-equation simulation of an asteroid impact off California, run at about 200 m resolution over the entire planet. By exploiting the dense on-wafer memory and mesh interconnect, a cluster of CS-3 nodes achieved exascale-class performance for this tsunami scenario at a fraction of the power draw of traditional exascale systems, while still supporting large language models such as Llama and DeepSeek on the same architecture.

Filmed at Supercomputing 2025 in St Louis, the interview also touches on manufacturing yield and roadmap. Cerebras overprovisions identical cores across the wafer and then uses automated defect mapping plus constraint solving to reroute communication around faulty regions, guaranteeing at least 900,000 working cores per device and turning the rest into pass-through fabric. James hints that future generations will continue this wafer-scale path, pushing AI inference and physics-based HPC further by co-designing architecture, packaging and dataflow software as a single system.

On the Blackwell HGX side, Philip Tamaki walks through Supermicro’s multi-form-factor HGX B300 platforms, where eight B300 GPUs provide up to 2.3TB of HBM3e and are coupled with integrated ConnectX-8 SuperNICs that expose 800Gb/s OSFP ports per node, reducing earlier PCIe bottlenecks. Air-cooled and direct-liquid-cooled variants balance rack power density with CPU options such as AMD EPYC 9005 or Intel Xeon 6700, so clusters can be tuned to specific AI training or simulation workloads in practice.

The conversation then shifts to PCIe GPUs, where the NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition with 96GB of GDDR7 and around 1.6TB/s of memory bandwidth makes PCIe-based servers attractive again for enterprise inference, retrieval-augmented generation and model serving. Supermicro is rolling out a broad portfolio of RTX PRO 6000 systems, including 4U MGX dual-root designs and compact edge nodes, so many production LLMs in the tens-of-billions of parameters can fit on a single GPU while additional GPUs handle vector search, orchestration and data processing.

At rack scale, the video highlights Supermicro’s NVIDIA GB300 NVL72 system, which combines 72 Blackwell GPUs and 36 Grace CPUs in a 48U rack with direct liquid cooling and NVLink domains up to 1.8TB/s, enabling very high AI performance in a single rack footprint. This ties into Supermicro’s Data Center Building Block Solutions strategy: pre-validated racks with in-rack cooling distribution units, vertical and horizontal manifolds, rear-door heat exchangers and sidecar CDUs that can dissipate 50–200kW of heat without requiring entirely new building infrastructure.

Finally, filmed at Supercomputing 2025 in St. Louis, the tour steps behind the cabinets to look at mock-up and real-world cooling towers, including the liquid-cooling tower deployed at Supermicro’s San Jose campus to validate closed-loop operation with production workloads. Alongside partner sessions from NVIDIA, AMD, Intel and software-defined storage vendors, the booth shows how Supermicro is positioning itself as a leading supplier of AI and HPC infrastructure by shipping complete Blackwell-era racks that shorten time-to-online for demanding customers.

Torsten Konrad explains how the enclosure is engineered around power and cooling rather than just raw drive count. Front-to-back airflow is guided through the main chamber and also under the drive plane so every slot receives fresh air, yielding up to 70% better thermal efficiency and around 30% lower power than legacy enclosures. The system uses SAS-4 (24G SAS), delivering up to 24 GB/s aggregate bandwidth while still letting you treat it as a simple, high-density JBOD from the host point of view.

Filmed at Supercomputing 2025 (SC25) in St. Louis, the video also dives into practical deployment details that matter to data center operators. The Exos 4U100 is available in 1.0 m and 1.2 m chassis depths to match different rack standards, with internal rails so the whole unit slides onto a shelf without fiddly rail alignment. Internal cable management keeps SAS cabling inside the rack envelope, and because the system uses built-in carriers you can slot bare 3.5″ drives directly without extra hardware, simplifying service and drive swaps.

Logically it’s “just a bunch of disks,” but in modern architectures the JBOD becomes the capacity tier behind software-defined storage running on front-end servers. Erasure coding or RAID lives in the software layer, while this enclosure focuses on density, airflow, vibration damping and predictable thermals for 100 spinning disks. For AI workloads the first tier is typically HBM and NVMe flash feeding GPUs, with HDD-based tiers like Exos 4U100 holding cold and warm data, training corpora, model checkpoints and long-term logs at roughly one-fifth the cost per terabyte of flash.

Seagate’s Mozaic HAMR roadmap pushes capacity beyond today’s 32TB drives toward 40TB, 50TB and higher, and the 4U100/4U74 enclosures are explicitly designed to accommodate those future disks so petabytes per rack can keep scaling without changing the chassis. That makes a single 42U rack with up to ten of these trays a 32-petabyte building block for AI, edge and sovereign data infrastructures. Hardware root-of-trust, secure boot on the BMC and standards-based management interfaces are included to meet tightening EU and US regulatory requirements around storage security in large-scale environments.

OpenMV CEO and co-founder Kwabena Agyeman walks through the new OpenMV AE3, a 1 inch by 1 inch edge-AI camera board designed to embed machine vision and neural networks into literally anything – from light switches to wearables. Built as a tiny, battery-friendly “Arduino of machine vision,” the AE3 combines MicroPython programmability with around 250 billion operations per second of NPU compute so developers can deploy real-time vision models without touching the cloud. https://openmv.io/products/openmv-ae3

Under the hood, the AE3 is powered by Alif Semiconductor’s Ensemble E3 SoC: dual Arm Cortex-M55 cores (400 MHz and 160 MHz) paired with two Ethos-U55 microNPUs delivering roughly 250 GOPS of AI throughput in that 6×7 mm package. On the board you get a 1 MP color global-shutter camera (up to ~120 fps at VGA), Octal-SPI flash streaming models at about 200 MB/s, integrated Wi-Fi/Bluetooth, high-speed USB-C, and a Qwiic connector for the SparkFun ecosystem. An onboard time-of-flight sensor, IMU (accelerometer/gyroscope), microphone and RGB LED turn the AE3 into a complete sensing and interaction platform rather than just a bare camera module.

In the demo, Kwabena shows the AE3 running hand-landmark detection at around 30 fps directly on the microcontroller, enabling gesture-driven user interfaces, as well as eye and face-landmark tracking, face recognition, segmentation and monocular depth estimation. The firmware stack supports a spectrum of neural network architectures – YOLOv2/v5/v8/v11 and custom CNNs – compressed to fit the constrained memory while still maintaining interactive frame rates. Because all inference runs locally, a smart door lock can recognize your face, or a smart light switch can see your hand, without ever streaming biometric data to a server.

He also explains how this board grew out of a decade of OpenMV work: eight years as a side project and the last two years full-time, culminating in a Kickstarter campaign for the N6 and AE3 that passed roughly $150k and around 700 backers. Filmed at Embedded World North America 2025, the conversation hints at where OpenMV is heading next – from battery-powered “AI in a golf cap” to industrial and robotics deployments – as MicroPython support for the Alif Ensemble family and the broader OpenMV ecosystem make it easier for engineers and makers to treat tiny AI vision as just another building block.

He characterizes Supercomputing 2025 #SC25 as a turning point where classical high-performance computing, large-scale AI and early quantum computers are converging into a single conversation. Using IBM’s “quantum chandelier” as a visual anchor, McGregor explains how competing qubit technologies could eventually yield a single quantum processor capable of outperforming today’s Top500 supercomputers on targeted workloads. That leap unlocks scenarios like real-time global weather modeling, accelerated materials discovery and fast genomic analysis that are impractical even on the largest current clusters.

Quantum also reshapes security. McGregor emphasizes the “harvest now, decrypt later” threat model, where attackers capture encrypted traffic today and wait for future quantum systems to break current public-key schemes. He argues that organizations should already be migrating to NIST-approved post-quantum cryptography, designing protocols, key management and hardware roots of trust so that sensitive data remains protected even when practical quantum accelerators become widely available.

On the classical compute side, he discusses Nvidia’s Arm-based Grace server CPUs and upcoming Vera/Blackwell-era platforms as tightly coupled companions to GPU accelerators for AI-centric nodes, while also noting competing heterogeneous designs from AMD and others. He links these product trends to a wave of new exascale projects, including future US Department of Energy systems and additional AMD-powered exascale machines in Europe, as vendors push toward AI-optimized “AI factory” data centers rather than traditional monolithic supercomputers.

McGregor closes by walking through the rest of the SC25 show floor to illustrate how every subsystem is scaling together: Micron’s 245 TB SSDs for dense storage, high-bandwidth networking from companies like Broadcom and Cisco, and visually striking liquid-cooling deployments that make ultra-dense AI racks thermally feasible. Filmed at Supercomputing 2025 in St. Louis, the discussion frames the modern data center as a single engineered system where memory, interconnects, accelerators, cooling and power delivery all co-evolve to meet the demands of HPC, AI and, increasingly, quantum workloads.

The tour then moves into predictive maintenance, where Asus IoT vibration sensors stream time-series data into compact edge gateways that host the AI models instead of a remote data center. These fanless industrial gateways aggregate many small sensors, run anomaly detection locally and only forward summarized metrics and alarms into the cloud, reducing bandwidth while catching early signs of wear on motors and other rotating equipment. Underneath those gateways sits a portfolio of long-life industrial motherboards and networking components across 3.5″ SBC, Mini-ITX and Micro-ATX form factors, designed for wide-temperature, 24/7 use and multi-year availability in industrial deployments.

Filmed at Embedded World North America 2025 in Anaheim, the walkthrough also explores computer-vision workloads in surveillance and retail. AI cameras running on Asus NUC edge systems segment people with colored overlays, track object geometry and feed dashboards for occupancy and safety analytics. A concrete example is an AI checkout system already deployed in airport convenience stores at hubs such as LAX and JFK, where a camera-based model identifies products on a tray without needing to see barcodes, enabling fast self-checkout using object detection and product classification instead of traditional scanners.

On the compute side Asus highlights both edge servers and specialized medical systems. A short-depth 1U AI server handles higher-throughput inferencing at the network edge, while the MDS-M700 medical-grade box PC brings 4K UHD AI imaging, IEC 60601-class safety and ultra-quiet operation into operating rooms and radiology suites, where it can host imaging models and accelerator cards for segmentation or detection tasks. Medical and factory panel PCs act as the smart-factory and hospital front end, running SCADA-style software and HMI dashboards on rugged touch displays that are built for continuous operation.

The final section looks at vision AI in manufacturing and healthcare workflows. Using a ROCK 1000 edge system for in-line inspection, Asus demonstrates real-time defect detection on materials, marking anomalies as they move past the camera for immediate operator feedback. A partner demo from Dhouse streams medical images from scanners to an Asus box PC for instant quality checks and remote expert review, while a compact M700 platform is shown monitoring patient rooms to detect when someone attempts to get out of bed and proactively alert nurses. Together these use cases position Asus IoT as a bridge between AI PCs, industrial edge compute and domain-specific applications in smart factories, retail, transportation and healthcare.

Thor Ultra is presented as an Ultra Ethernet Consortium (UEC)–compliant NIC that modernizes RDMA/RoCE for AI fabrics, adding packet-level multipathing, out-of-order data placement directly into GPU memory, selective retransmission and a fully programmable congestion-control pipeline. These hardware capabilities are intended to keep link utilization high even when packets take different paths across a very large fabric, addressing the traditional scaling limits of RoCE-based Ethernet in multi-rack GPU topologies.

On the hardware side, the video walks through the OCP NIC form factor with a single OSFP112 port, large heatsinks over both the optical cage and the Thor Ultra ASIC, and an air-cooled design that can later evolve toward liquid-cooled variants for denser racks. Filmed on the show floor at Supercomputing 2025 #SC25 in St Louis, the demo focuses on how this 800G NIC is meant to sit directly beside each GPU in high-density servers, rather than being a shared resource for the whole node. That per-GPU NIC topology is what enables many simultaneous collective flows without starving individual accelerators of bandwidth.

Broadcom positions Thor Ultra as backward compatible at the platform level—same OCP and PCIe CEM form factors as existing adapters—while introducing a clean-sheet architecture aimed purely at AI scale-out. The NIC integrates with UEC-compliant switches such as Broadcom’s Tomahawk 5 and 6 families and uses 100G/200G PAM4 SerDes, line-rate encryption/decryption, secure boot and device attestation to meet both performance and security requirements in modern data centers The form-factor continuity should allow GPU server vendors to drop Thor Ultra into existing designs as PCIe Gen6 platforms become mainstream.

Throughout the conversation, there is an emphasis on cluster-level impact rather than headline link speed: the ability to scale beyond 100,000 XPUs on Ethernet, reduce fabric-induced job retries, and standardize on an open UEC spec instead of proprietary interconnects ([SDxCentral][5]) Viewers get a concise tour of how this NIC, its OSFP interface and its telemetry and congestion-control hooks fit into the broader AI training fabric, making clear why 800G Ethernet adapters are becoming central components of next-generation AI networking.

A key part of the story is the relationship between CIQ, Rocky Linux and the Rocky Enterprise Software Foundation (RESF). Rocky Linux remains a community-governed, bug-for-bug compatible enterprise Linux aligned with the RHEL ecosystem, while CIQ acts as founding sponsor and delivers a commercially supported RLC line with validated updates, SLAs and indemnification for production workloads. ([Rocky Linux][1]) On top of that, RLC-AI extends Rocky Linux with NVIDIA CUDA, drivers and AI frameworks, and CIQ recently became the first Linux distribution authorized to ship the complete NVIDIA AI software stack, positioning Rocky Linux from CIQ as a standard base layer for model training, tuning and inference in data-center environments.

Jonathan Anderson then dives into Warewulf (the “Werewolf” he demos), a stateless bare-metal provisioning system that can turn racks of idle servers into a functioning HPC cluster by building OS images, pushing them to nodes and handling per-node customization without relying on local disks. ([warewulf.org][3]) At Supercomputing 2025 in St Louis he explains how CIQ productizes this as Warewulf Pro, adding node image catalogs and a web interface, and notes that Warewulf Pro has just been recognized in the HPCwire awards as users push for horizontal scaling and clearer patterns for managing state on large clusters; even the green Rocky Linux cowboy hats and the pedaflop party references serve as reminders that this is very much a live, growing operator community around that infrastructure.

From there the conversation moves to Fuzzball, CIQ’s container-centric workflow engine for performance-intensive computing, which lets the same pipeline run on-prem, across multiple clusters or in cloud environments while abstracting the underlying schedulers and resources. ([CIQ][4]) Anderson cites customer work such as bioinformatics and RNA sequencing, where Fuzzball Federate can unify heterogeneous resources and has been credited with 100× throughput improvements at FYR’s precision-medicine platform, while Ascender provides Ansible-based orchestration for system lifecycle tasks and Apptainer delivers HPC-friendly containerization rooted in the Singularity heritage for secure, reproducible workloads.

The last part of the booth tour focuses on Rocky Linux from CIQ for AI (RLCI / RLC-AI) and why CIQ can show measurable performance gains over generic enterprise builds: CIQ tracks newer upstream kernels, enables AI-oriented configuration options, recompiles key user-space components for modern micro-architectures and pre-integrates CUDA, PyTorch, TensorFlow and ONNX tooling so AI and HPC teams can start from an optimized baseline rather than hand-tuning each node. ([CIQ][2]) Rocky Linux itself continues to support x86, Arm, Power and RISC-V architectures, but the current RLC-AI focus is on x86 GPUs, with ARM on the roadmap, and the conversations at SC25 revolve around scaling Warewulf beyond single-server deployments, tightening workflow integration with Fuzzball and expanding this open-source-first ecosystem into a more complete, production-ready AI and HPC roadmap.

Open standards consortium PICMG sits at the center of many embedded and edge computing architectures, and in this interview president Jessica Isquith at Embedded World North America 2025 explains how specifications like COM Express, COM-HPC, CompactPCI Serial, AdvancedTCA and MicroTCA provide interoperable building blocks across markets from telecom to industrial automation. By defining common form factors, connectors and pinouts, PICMG enables interchangeability between vendors, shorter time-to-market and a much more robust ecosystem of module and carrier-board vendors for embedded computing.

A key theme is computer-on-module (COM) design: CPU, memory and high-speed I/O are concentrated on a standardized module, while application-specific carrier boards handle domain-specific interfaces, power conditioning and connectors. COM Express remains widely used, while COM-HPC targets higher I/O density with PCIe Gen5 today and preparation for PCIe Gen6, multi-lane 25 Gbit/s Ethernet, USB4 and rich display and camera interfaces. The result is a modular upgrade path where designers can move to a new processor generation by swapping modules while keeping carrier-level investments stable, which is valuable in embedded lifecycles.

Isquith also dives into the power and thermal challenges that come with shrinking footprints while pushing server-class performance out to the edge. High-TDP x86 and Arm SoCs, dense DDR5 memory and AI workloads demand sophisticated thermal solutions such as conduction-cooled frames, vapor chambers, heat pipes and in some cases liquid-cooling approaches around module and carrier assemblies. The discussion highlights how packaging and mechanical design are now as important as digital pin mapping when deploying high-performance COMs into harsh environments like transportation, robotics and factory automation where uptime and reliability are critical.

Another focus is governance and ecosystem dynamics inside PICMG. With roughly 140 member companies across more than 20 countries, work on new specifications starts when a small group of members brings a market justification and technical concept, which then becomes a full working group following a one-company-one-vote model. PICMG’s portfolio is designed to complement rather than duplicate other standards bodies, so COM-HPC and COM Express coexist with SGET standards such as SMARC and Qseven, and with VITA architectures like VPX and VNX, creating a broad toolkit of interoperable form factors for embedded compute platforms.

Filmed at Embedded World North America 2025, the video follows Isquith around the show floor to concrete examples from member companies displaying COM Express and COM-HPC modules, carrier boards and CompactPCI Serial systems used in communications, industrial control, transportation, gaming and emerging AI-driven robotics. She closes by emphasizing PICMG’s dual mission: not only to develop specifications such as COM-HPC and AdvancedTCA, but also to promote adoption through tools, events and new initiatives that make it easier for engineers to discover, evaluate and deploy open standard embedded computing architectures in their next generation designs.

On the Indian and Polaris motorcycles, ICS delivers the full digital cockpit: gauge cluster rendering, turn-by-turn navigation, map display, Bluetooth headset integration and offline search. The rugged, waterproof capacitive touchscreens stay usable in rain or snow, while the software generates speed-limit alerts and navigation prompts entirely offline when required. Because one display is the primary gauge cluster, strict latency and regulatory requirements apply, so the team budgets every millisecond from sensor input to on-screen feedback to stay within compliance.

The video, filmed at Embedded World North America 2025 in Anaheim, also shows how similar engineering patterns extend into life-critical medical applications. A lung transport system vendor relies on ICS to implement embedded control electronics and an HMI that maintain pressure, temperature and other parameters within narrow tolerances during organ transport. Clinical specialists specify the physiological requirements, while ICS translates them into robust control loops, alarms and operator workflows that support reliable transplant care.

Another part of the booth revisits an Automotive Grade Linux dashboard demo implemented twice, once in Qt/QML and once in Flutter, to compare toolchains for in-vehicle infotainment and instrument clusters. A CARLA driving simulator feeds realistic vehicle telemetry into both stacks to validate real-time behaviour, signal handling and graphics performance. Mateo highlights how relying on open-source frameworks with commercial licensing options lets customers learn, prototype and later maintain their own platforms while keeping a consistent UX.

Finally, ICS showcases perception-driven UX with lidar sensors, ASUS compute platforms and embedded AI pipelines that detect people in front of the booth, plus a playful toy-tank-versus-giraffe demo visualising object recognition. At the same time, Mateo describes ICS as a remote-first engineering organisation spread across North America, Europe and South America, regularly meeting OEMs on-site for programs like the Sunnyvale motorcycle work. That combination of geographically distributed teams, strong open-source expertise and close customer collaboration is what makes their embedded work tangible.

The interview shows how OEMs can either adopt Diamond’s off-the-shelf carrier boards or design their own, using detailed design guides that expose all interfaces and layout constraints. Microchip switch silicon is paired with MaxLinear 2.5G PHYs to deliver dense 12+2 port configurations, while plug-in daughterboards add further 10G uplinks and push system throughput into the high hundreds of gigabits per second. The same modular concept powers a compact low-end switch with eight 1G and two 2.5G ports that is already flying in next-generation in-flight entertainment systems with high-resolution seat-back video per passenger.

Recorded at Embedded World North America 2025 in Anaheim, the discussion then moves to the EPS “Epsilon” family, including the EPS-9600 with time-sensitive networking (TSN). By synchronising all nodes in the network to within nanoseconds and implementing IEEE 802.1 TSN profiles, these platforms can guarantee that frames are emitted at precise times, keeping aircraft rows in lockstep or aligning audio and video in concert halls and industrial control. GPS-disciplined clocks and TSN-aware PHYs extend deterministic behaviour across the Ethernet fabric.

Beyond networking, Diamond outlines its NVIDIA Jetson-based embedded computing platforms, including Osbourne carrier boards and JetBox systems built around Jetson Orin NX and AGX Orin. These designs combine multi-gigabit Ethernet including 10GbE, rich camera I/O via CSI or GMSL, and ruggedisation features such as latching I/O connectors, heat spreaders and wide-temperature operation to support AI-at-the-edge workloads in UAVs, ground vehicles, satellites and other constrained form factors. COM Express and Jetson modules allow CPU and GPU upgrades without redesigning the entire board, extending product lifecycles over time.

The final part of the video zooms out to Diamond Systems’ trajectory from PC/104 I/O boards to today’s MIL-grade power supplies and sealed systems, positioning its catalogue as a library of reusable building blocks. Standard product variants and custom form factors reuse validated switch and SBC designs, shortening design cycles while leveraging global manufacturing and test infrastructure. In a landscape of edge AI, high-bandwidth sensing and TSN-based control networks, the company frames its rugged Ethernet and Jetson platforms as a practical foundation for long-life embedded deployments in the field.

In this interview, Unigraf walks through how its protocol analyzers and generators are used in R&D labs to debug link-layer issues on DisplayPort, HDMI 2.1 and USB-C DP Alt Mode, from AUX transactions and FRL/UHBR link training to EDID/DisplayID behavior and DSC streams. The UCD-500 Gen2 is part of VESA’s DisplayPort 2.1 authorized test tool list, giving engineers reference-grade sink and source behavior for Link Layer CTS, AdaptiveSync, DSC, FEC and LTTPR testing, while tools like UCD-422 cover HDMI 2.1 up to 10K. Together, these instruments enable precise diagnosis of problems such as flicker, tearing or intermittent cable failures without guesswork in the workflow.

Unigraf also highlights its UTC-274 USB-C automation tester, a 4K USB-C test automation tool designed to sit directly on the production line and electrically verify two USB-C devices in parallel. UTC-274 extends beyond simple continuity checks to cover video, audio, DisplayPort Alt Mode, USB Power Delivery 3.1, USB 2.0/3.2, USB4 mode checking and EPR testing, all scriptable via SDK and Python for fast, repeatable regression test sequences. That means the same interface behavior validated in the lab can be pushed into high-volume manufacturing with ~20-second automated cycles, improving coverage while reducing human error in manufacturing.

Filmed at Embedded World North America, the discussion connects these tools to real-world pain points: vendors turning up with “mystery” HDMI glitches, unstable DP links, problematic cables or new high-bandwidth prototype designs that must pass compliance before launch. Unigraf’s team explains how participation in plugfests and interoperability labs, combined with deep support for 8K, 10K and 16K video modes and emerging use cases like LED video walls and large-scale digital signage, positions their instruments as a bridge between evolving standards and robust, field-ready products. The result is a clearer path from early R&D debug to automated production testing and compliance for the next wave of high-bandwidth video interface rollout.

A highlight of the booth is the ARM-based BCO-500 platform built around the Rockchip RK3568J system-on-chip, which received a Best in Show award. This semi-rugged mini computer is designed for space-constrained deployments yet still delivers industrial reliability with fanless cooling, wide temperature support from around -40 to 70°C, and low TDP operation. Optimized I/O and support for Linux and other open-source operating systems make it a compact node for light edge AI, gateways, embedded IIoT, and environmental monitoring in demanding conditions.

Premio also introduces the BCO-500 variant based on Intel Core Ultra Series 1, often referred to as the Meteor Lake generation, targeting engineers who need higher performance with integrated AI acceleration. This semi-rugged design leverages Intel’s tile architecture and on-chip NPU, supports multiple Core Ultra SKUs, and fits into control cabinets or kiosks where airflow is limited but deterministic performance is required. With certifications including UL, FCC, CE and UL61010 for industrial control equipment, it addresses industrial automation, retail kiosk, and security and surveillance workloads that need reliable edge inference in compact enclosures.

On the x86 semi-rugged side, Premio’s PCO series demonstrates how they scale I/O and performance. The PCO-1000 uses an Intel N97 processor and offers more real estate for additional interfaces, cellular connectivity such as 4G LTE and 5G, and extra storage for edge data logging. The PCO-3000 steps up to a socketed 35 W processor in a fanless chassis for mid-range compute where PCIe expansion is not required. For higher performance, the RCO-6000 RPL platform combines the latest Intel socketed core processors with support for low-profile discrete GPUs, enabling edge AI acceleration for computer vision tasks like pose detection and robotics control, as shown in their live demo.

The booth also showcases the JCO series of rugged AI computers built around NVIDIA Jetson Orin modules, including AGX Orin, Orin NX and Orin Nano, where GPU, CPU and memory come integrated on a single module for efficient edge inference in robotics, autonomous machines and smart infrastructure. Premio frames this portfolio within what they call the edge continuum, spanning the industrial edge, rugged edge and specialized edge, all under their “Built Rugged, Built Ready” philosophy. Filmed at Embedded World North America 2025, the conversation captures how embedded computing is evolving as system integrators design for low TDP, real-time AI, and reliable operation in the field rather than in a climate-controlled data center.

The conversation looks back at how BeagleBoard.org grew out of Jason’s work at Texas Instruments, shipping millions of heterogeneous ARM+DSP platforms into media players and early mobile devices. He connects that heritage to today’s boards: fully documented open hardware, long-term available TI silicon, and a Debian-based software stack alongside Yocto/OpenEmbedded flows that let developers control everything from bootloader to user space in modern embedded Linux systems

From there the discussion dives into early edge-like workloads on DaVinci and OMAP3: ARM9 and Cortex-A8 paired with C64x+ DSPs, NEON SIMD and soft codecs powering Archos media players, the PMA400 and devices running MontaVista Linux with an app-store model long before smartphones were mainstream. Jason recalls hackers like Mans Rullgard and Vladimir Pentelich using FFmpeg and hand-tuned NEON to exceed TI’s own performance estimates, showing how open-source communities pushed multimedia and machine-vision capability far beyond what the original datasheets suggested in that era’s history.

Jason then links those experiences to today’s regulatory and security landscape, including the EU Cyber Resilience–style requirements that force vendors to track mainline kernels and keep users updated with security fixes over long lifecycles. He argues that open build systems such as OpenEmbedded and Yocto, combined with transparent schematics and full data sheets, make it realistic for small teams and educators to maintain secure embedded products instead of being locked into stale, proprietary Linux distributions on opaque devices. This is part of BeagleBoard.org’s broader mission of “knowledge preservation” for how modern computing systems are actually built and shipped into real-world devices.

Closing the loop to current trends, Jason talks about edge AI on platforms like BeagleY-AI, which combines a TI AM67A vision processor, 4 TOPS neural accelerators, C7x DSPs, a 3D GPU and H.264/H.265 offload in a Pi-like form factor for human–machine interfaces and embedded inference at the edge. He imagines AI assistants that not only propose embedded code but compile, deploy and test it on real hardware, making it even more important that engineers understand the underlying SoCs and toolchains. Filmed at Embedded World North America in Anaheim, this interview captures both the history of ARM+DSP multimedia and the trajectory toward affordable open hardware for the next generation of edge AI developers shaping the future.

Instead of fossil-based PP, PE or industrially compostable bioplastics, Traceless uses natural polymers that microbes already know how to biodegrade. The granulate runs on standard plastics-converting lines – injection molding, extrusion, coating and film production – making it a true drop-in material for converters and brand owners. It is certified plastic-free, bio-based, free of PFAS and harmful additives, and is home-compostable under natural conditions, avoiding the need for industrial composting infrastructure.

A life cycle assessment shows substantial reductions in environmental footprint: using agricultural residues and a low-energy process, Traceless can cut greenhouse gas emissions and fossil energy demand by around 90% compared to conventional plastics over production and disposal. The first industrial demonstration plant near Hamburg is already producing several thousand tons of granulate per year, with additional plants planned to meet global demand and support a more circular, bio-based materials value chain.

The material is particularly targeted at “nasty” applications where recycling or reuse is unrealistic and leakage into the environment is likely: single-use packaging, coffee capsules, on-the-go food service items, coatings and adhesives, and other short-lived products that currently generate persistent microplastic pollution. Because the material is not a plastic at all but a functionalized natural polymer matrix, it breaks down into water, CO₂ and humus without leaving microplastics or toxic residues, offering a safer option for both ecosystems and human exposure.

In this interview from Web Summit Lisbon 2025, Lifa from the Traceless team explains how the company is scaling from pilot to industrial production, positioning its technology within tightening EU plastics regulation and growing demand for credible plastic alternatives. The discussion covers proof points from life cycle assessment, feedstock availability from industrial side streams and the company’s focus on global deployment, inviting packaging producers, converters and brands to rethink single-use designs around compostable natural polymers.

In the video, the team walks through their MVP interface: companies answer structured questions mapped directly to European legislation, upload supporting documents as evidence, and centralize everything in a single repository. From there, GreenDash generates a sustainability report aligned with CSRD and VSME requirements, with embedded analytics that show where a company stands and which operational areas to improve next. The roadmap includes carbon accounting, double materiality assessment workflows and guided ESG policy generation, so SMEs can build their own policies without relying entirely on external consultants for compliance.

GreenDash’s business model is subscription-based, targeting both SMEs and sustainability consultants who manage multiple clients and need repeatable CSRD and ESRS-aligned workflows. Consultants can leverage the same environment for structured data capture, automated report drafting, and certification support, while companies gain access to training content and courses that demystify ESG metrics, regulatory acronyms and reporting standards. Across the stack, the emphasis is on standardised data models, reusable policies and analytics that continuously highlight gaps rather than one-off, static PDF reports that quickly become outdated.

Filmed at Web Summit Lisbon 2025, the interview also reflects how GreenDash is emerging from Lisbon’s impact-focused startup ecosystem, including programs like Casa do Impacto and Road 2 Web Summit that support sustainability and cleantech ventures. From this base, the team wants to “democratise sustainability for the 99%” by turning what is currently a 300-hour manual exercise into a guided digital process that scales across thousands of small firms that now fall under CSRD and related EU regulations. For SMEs facing their first formal ESG disclosure cycle, GreenDash positions itself as a pragmatic way to move from scattered spreadsheets and ad hoc consulting toward a repeatable, data-driven reporting roadmap.

STMicroelectronics introduces the STM32U3 as its first STM32 microcontroller family built on a sub-threshold (near-threshold) design, where the core logic runs from a VCORE as low as 0.65 V instead of the traditional 1.2 V. This Arm Cortex-M33 MCU line targets ultra-low-power designs while still delivering up to 1 MB dual-bank flash, 256 KB SRAM, TrustZone security and rich analog and digital peripherals for connected devices, sensors and metering. The near-threshold architecture cuts dynamic current to around 9.5–10 µA/MHz and achieves about 117 CoreMark/mW, enabling long battery life in cost-sensitive industrial, medical, and consumer devices.https://www.st.com/en/microcontrollers-microprocessors/stm32u3-series.html

In this video, ST’s marketing team uses a smart-home style demo to show how a single STM32U3 platform can be tuned for very different power profiles. Four STM32U3 boards emulate an electronic energy meter, a smart doorbell at the entrance, a wearable device, and a smoke detector, each configured with its own duty cycles, sleep modes and wake-up patterns. The goal is to illustrate how developers can trade off active current, standby current, and response time using the same MCU family for metering, building automation, wearables and safety sensors.

Filmed at Embedded World North America 2025, the setup routes all edge nodes to a gateway based on an STM32H7R, which aggregates live current-consumption data from each STM32U3 node and renders dashboards on an HMI display. The H7R platform, implemented on a 14 nm process and optimized for graphics and cost-effective IoT, makes it easier to visualize how near-threshold operation impacts energy per task and remaining battery budget in real deployments.

Beyond the live demo, the STM32U3 series is positioned as part of ST’s broader ultra-low-power roadmap, extending the STM32L and STM32U lines with significantly lower dynamic and stop currents than previous generations such as STM32U5 and STM32L4.([STMicroelectronics][3]) Features like AI-assisted adaptive voltage scaling at wafer level, integrated audio digital filters for sound-activity detection, capacitive-touch channels, advanced timers and I3C connectivity are designed for always-on sensing, smart metering, voice-triggered devices and battery-powered nodes deployed for years in the field.

Security is also a key focus: the Cortex-M33 with TrustZone is complemented by hardware cryptography, secure storage/keystore and the security features inherited from STM32U5, aiming to meet modern IoT certification requirements even in tiny, low-duty-cycle devices.([Tiger Brokers][5]) In short, the video gives a hands-on tour of how STM32U3’s sub-threshold design and tooling can help engineers design energy-efficient smart-home, industrial and wearable products without changing MCU families across use cases.

Daniel explains how the system uses adaptive AI, cyber deception and cyber-clone traps to create an immediate “immunization” when a device is first hit (“patient zero”), then propagates that remediation to all customer environments while the original attack is still ongoing. Instead of relying on static signatures, NanoFirewall continuously refines its models, aiming to keep precision high over time while maintaining a very low false-positive rate, with kernel-level hooks and embedded intelligence traps integrated into the device’s runtime architecture.

The live dashboard shown in the video visualizes real-time attack traffic hitting AST sensors around the world, including large streams of traffic originating from regions such as China and targeting decoy assets and customer infrastructures. Daniel mentions a concrete case where their stack intercepted a Microsoft SharePoint zero-day around 45 days before public disclosure, preventing exploitation across client deployments by distributing the corresponding countermeasure globally. This demonstration was recorded at Embedded World North America 2025, giving context for how such preemptive threat intelligence can be integrated into embedded and edge-focused device design workflows in a very practical way for engineering teams working close to hardware and firmware.

Advanced Security Technologies is headquartered in Serbia with a legal entity in Singapore and a compact team of about 15 mostly backend engineers focusing on patented components like their AI-powered self-learning firewall engine for IoT, threat-intelligence backend and deception infrastructure. NanoFirewall is offered as Linux software for Yocto or other embedded distributions, as a plug-and-play gateway appliance and as a C-level module for deeply constrained devices, making it relevant for OEMs, industrial automation vendors and operators of critical infrastructure that are looking for strategic partners to embed preemptive cyber defence directly into their products from the start rather than bolting it on later in the product lifecycle growth

At the core of the product is an eco shopping assistant and search layer that sits on top of existing ecommerce sites and Google results. When you view a product, the assistant helps you compare it with more sustainable alternatives and highlights brands that are actively “giving back” through Environmates campaigns. A built-in crowdfunding engine then lets those brands structure impact campaigns, direct offers to users, and route a share of advertising or affiliate revenue straight into verified environmental projects, closing the loop between media spend, consumer engagement and climate funding.

Filmed at Web Summit Lisbon 2025, this conversation focuses on Environmates as infrastructure for grassroots climate action rather than just another green app. Founder and CEO Simon Roberts explains how his previous exit in analytics exposed a funding gap for local environmental initiatives that could not scale on generic platforms like GoFundMe. Environmates is designed to remove friction by standardising campaign setup, automating impact payments from browsing revenue and giving small projects digital tooling that previously only larger organisations enjoyed.

On the ground, that translates into very concrete use cases: urban rewilding schemes, beehive installations, community gardens, pond restoration and bird habitat projects in places like London. Project owners can launch a campaign within minutes, broadcast it to nearby users, and then grow a base of recurring micro-contributors rather than one-off donors. The platform also includes a volunteering flow so supporters can register to show up in person for work days, bringing a social layer and real-world community building into what starts as a digital experience.

Technically, Environmates combines a rewards-style browser, an eco shopping recommendation engine, geolocated project discovery and a lightweight impact-funding dashboard for brands and project creators. The app is already live in beta on iOS and Android, and the team is using this phase to refine the revenue-sharing model with early partners, founders and investors. The aim is to make it as effortless as possible for anyone—from a small neighbourhood group to a global brand—to turn everyday browsing and shopping into a steady, transparent stream of environmental support.
