Hardware development kits are adapting and transforming to meet the needs of a new generation of developers working on the IoT, writes Sally Ward-Foxton.

Steve Rogerson looks at how the conference and exhibition at embedded world 2016 will face up to the increasing emphasis on security.

Trends from the consumer market are increasingly permeating industrial applications and making them more interconnected. Applying concepts from the consumer IoT to the industrial field offers benefits for large operations including process efficiency, safety and profitability. However, as Carlos Pazos of National Instruments explains, achieving these benefits requires a new approach to industrial applications.

The proliferation of smart devices and the IoT has raised concerns amongst developers over protecting their devices from attacks. Gartner has recently predicted that over six billion internet connected ‘things’ will be in use in 2016 - a 30% increase over 2015. Christopher Hallinan from Mentor Graphics explains.
