ADI engineers a sustainable future at electronica 2022

With over 30 demos, keynote speeches, and technical presentations from ADI experts, visitors will discover how ADI is working to engineer a sustainable future through areas such as intelligent factory and building automation, smart robotics and autonomous machines, automotive electrification, immersive in-cabin experiences, sustainable energy and grid stabilisation, 5G and next-generation connectivity, intelligent and safe consumer devices, and preventive digital healthcare.

Demo highlights

Industrial automation and instrumentation

Industrial and building automation systems are rapidly digitising, combining sensing, connectivity, and analytics to enable a new level of energy efficiency to unlock key insights and deliver personalised outcomes. Demonstrations featuring advanced intelligent motion control, asset health monitoring, seamlessly connected intelligent edge devices, and efficient power management showcase just some of the ways ADI’s technologies are building a more sustainable industrial future. Examples include communications technology to unlock the intelligent edge in the digital factory, advanced optical sensing for controlling robots with pinpoint accuracy, and integrated systems for intelligent building automation.

Automotive

ADI’s technologies are helping automotive manufacturers transform the in-cabin environment with audio, voice, Ethernet, and display solutions, as well as advanced battery solutions for electric vehicles. Through ADI’s technology, the automotive industry can offer more immersive, personalised in-cabin experiences. Demonstrations include a complete battery management system for lithium-ion energy storage, the ADI LISTN platform that allows the concurrent operation of two independent voice assistants inside the cabin, and Gigabit Multimedia Serial Link (GMSL)-based SerDes solutions enabling automotive OEMs to deploy high resolution sensors in tomorrow´s software-defined vehicles.

Healthcare

ADI is working with customers to shape the future of digitised and decentralised healthcare, helping to make care more accessible and affordable for all. Smart sensors, precision analogue, high-performance signal processing, and advanced algorithms are at the heart of ADI’s healthcare solutions. Featured demos include a non-contact health monitoring system, an industry-first vital signs monitoring module placed on or inside a patient’s mattress or pillow, and an exercise bike with a low-cost power meter which also supports an ADI biometric sensor platform for activity tracker wristbands. ADI’s Health Sensor Platform 4.0, an open-source reference design for a chest patch providing 24/7 vital signs monitoring, will also be featured.

Consumer and communications

A display wall will highlight innovative consumer devices developed by customers and supported by ADI’s digital signal processing, audio, video, power, and software solutions. Products will include low power wireless headphones and best-in-class soundbars as well as next-generation consumer devices creating highly immersive interactions between people and technology. Communications solutions on display will include a high-speed wireless data interconnect system and optimised power designs for 5G RF signal chains.
