The availability of LTE‑M and NB‑IoT Low Power Wide Area (LPWA) cellular networks has enabled countless new applications in areas as diverse as smart homes and cities, connected factories, and public and private utilities.

Fifteen years ago Wind River became a commercial Linux provider for the embedded industry. At the time it was driven by one of our largest Telecom customers making a transition from proprietary RTOS to open source and Linux. Guest blog written by Glenn Seiler

The benefits of digitalising the manufacturing process are plentiful and obvious for many engineers, who are open to new ways of working. Here, Andreas Velling, mechanical engineer and head of marketing at Fractory, explores why some engineers still aren’t on board with digitalisation. 

Antonio Gaudi revolutionised how people understand architecture. The significance of his work is not only in representing nature with entirely original structures and ceramic mosaics, it is also in the example he set for future artists. Similarly, figures in Industry 4.0 are examples of both what is possible today and what will inspire the robotics engineers of tomorrow.

Variety is the spice of life. But, as anyone who’s tried to throw a curry together without a recipe knows well, you can certainly have too much. When specifying electrical components, engineers are often presented with dizzying spreadsheets filled with technical datapoints, for hundreds of devices.

I recently read a BBC article, the headline of which shocked me: 'Blockchain: The revolution that hasn't quite happened'. Yet, just a few days later, I read that the Bank of England has teamed up with other major central banks to assess the case for launching their own digital currencies as the debate rages on over the future of money. As always, the truth lies somewhere in the middle. By Nish Kotecha, Chairman and Co-founder of Finboo...

The rules of embedded system product development are changing. Virtual labs using hardware/simulation solutions like Wind River Simics allow developers, product designers, and testers to work in parallel with compressed time cycles. They can take advantage of faster and more agile methodologies like DevOps. Guest blog written by Sean Evoy, Wind River.

Wireless connectivity, AI, and the cloud are transforming video surveillance as we know it. With a new generation of surveillance cameras that connect wirelessly to the cloud, deploying, managing, and leveraging video surveillance systems has become cheaper, easier to use, more secure, and more efficient. Designed for network connectivity, these digital IP cameras outperform analogue CCTV cameras on a number of metrics, from image resolution and ...

Data scientists have often been compared to the heart and soul of the running of IoT projects. As the gatekeeper to every organisations capability to make more informed decisions with their data, these individuals are considered vital for successful projects.
