When Google introduced Android Things in 2015, it seemed like a game-changer for the Internet of Things (IoT) industry. The vision was clear: bring the power and familiarity of Android development tools (Java, Kotlin, Android Studio) to IoT devices, making it easier for manufacturers to create connected products.
Utilities are constantly looking for new ways to manage Distributed Energy Resources (DER) and improve efficiency. Software-defined meters and energy infrastructure provide a promising solution, with apps and microservices playing a key role. This guide explains software-defined meters, their benefits, and how apps and microservices can help utilities manage demand-response and DER.
In the current energy consumption landscape, the need for sustainable solutions has become increasingly urgent, driven by rising living costs and environmental concerns. This has sparked a significant transition towards cleaner power sources and electric mobility, with renewable energy sources at the forefront of this shift.
Generative AI, represented by the skyrocketing popularity of tools like ChatGPT and GitHub Copilot, has firmly established itself as the fastest-growing technological marvel in history. With business magnates increasingly prioritizing innovation, revenue growth, and operational efficiency, it comes as no surprise that a commissioned study conducted by Forrester Consulting on behalf of Grammarly in May 2023 revealed a staggering statistic: 97% of organizations are poised to integrate generative AI into their systems within the next two years.
Discover how the evolution of IoT devices from basic functions to interconnected powerhouses is reshaping our world. Uncover the pivotal role of software-defined approaches in driving innovation, flexibility, and interoperability, propelling the IoT industry into a realm of boundless possibilities.
In our quest for technological advancement, the environmental impact of IoT devices often goes unnoticed. While the carbon footprint of smartphones has faced scrutiny, the carbon footprint of IoT devices remains largely unexamined. A recent study by Greenly and MicroEJ sheds light on this issue, marking the first comprehensive assessment of IoT device carbon emissions, especially focusing on the impact of greener software.
IoT device designs that are overspecified with powerful electronic components and high-energy-consuming operating systems significantly add to carbon emissions. With a mandate to reach zero carbon footprint and with a prediction that the number of connected devices are likely to hit 30 billion by 2030, manufacturers are increasingly seeking out and adopting sustainable designs that reduce the environmental footprint of their products.
ESG (environmental, social, and governance) and digital transformation are megatrends that go hand in hand. Almost all tech giants now have sustainability pledges and plans embedded into their innovation process to align with stakeholder, investor, and consumer expectations.
In today’s fast-paced technological world, it’s crucial to stay ahead of the curve in the embedded systems industry.
In this podcast episode, Amelia Dalton from EE Journal interviews Semir Haddad, our Chief Product and Strategy Officer, on the current and future biggest influences of embedded systems development.
Semir highlights the two major trends that are impacting the embedded systems industry: sustainability, containerization and servitization.
Learn how software containers helps you support double-sourcing policies at no extra costs to keep production running, even in a global chip shortage crisis.
