High precision positioning, low power wide area (LPWA), short range mesh networks, and edge intelligence promise to extend the range of applications for the IoT in the food sector and beyond. If data is a primary driver of industrial digitalisation, the technologies used to gather, transmit, store, and process it are its key enablers.This is also true in the food sector.

The applications and services enabled by home automation technologies have inspired authors, screenwriters and cartoonists for decades. But finally, advances in wireless communication, combined with the increased penetration of distributed cloud computing and the launch of innovative user interfaces like voice, have popularised the adoption of smart devices in the home.

Supplier of advanced semiconductor solutions, Renesas Electronics, has announced a microcontroller (MCU) with embedded flash that integrates a hardware-based virtualisation-assisted function while maintaining the fast, real-time performance of the RH850 products. This hardware-based virtualisation assist technology can support up to ASIL D level of functional safety, providing greater levels of system integration.

Software quality experts in the areas of functional safety, security, and standards compliance, LDRA, has introduced an enhanced version of the LDRA tool suite for Automotive that helps customers reduce cost, effort, and time of complying with the latest release of the ISO 26262 functional safety standard.

Hochschule Kempten’s ‘Adrive Living Lab’ in Germany will be adopting an advanced Vehicle Driving Simulator (aVDS) from automotive test system supplier, AB Dynamics. The new simulator will enable the university to conduct thorough research into driver interaction with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and Automated Driving (AD) systems.

The global market for autonomous systems is growing quickly: an estimated €76bn will be spent on robotics by 2025. To keep pace with this development, Finland is launching RAAS, a new innovation ecosystem for autonomous systems. The aim is for RAAS to grow into one of the world’s leading development environments.

With built-in inertial sensors the new INS1000 high performance dual band RTK INS (Real-Time Kinematic Inertial Navigation System), has been announced by ACEINNA, for construction, agriculture and automotive applications. The INS1000 embeds ACEINNA’s nine degree-of-freedom inertial sensor technology to achieve Automotive Dead Reckoning performance in GNSS challenged environments.

Thanks to better use of data, trucks will not just be autonomous in the future, but more efficient as well. The international VDIAutonomous Trucksconference taking place in Munich on the 27thand 28thMarch 2019 will present new IoT solutions and their benefits for the entire value chain.

The BQ25882 from Texas Instruments is a highly-integrated two amp switch-mode battery charge management and system power path management device for dual-cell Li-Ion and Li-polymer batteries. The I2C Serial interface with charging and system settings makes the device a truly flexible solution.

The TIDEP-0092 from Texas Instruments provides a foundation for a short range radar (SRR) application using the AWR1642 evaluation module (EVM). This design allows the user to estimate and track the position (in the azimuthal plane) and the velocity of objects in its field of view up to 80m.
