Enabling the Latest in Industrial Digital Signage

July 19, 2019

The age of digital signage is upon us. Just driving down the highway shows examples of billboards that rotate their messages as we pass. In many scenarios, signage that can recognize what’s occurring in its surroundings can be a boon for merchants, manufacturers, consumers, and the general public. Now, the digital transformation of public spaces… Read More »

Visual inspection systems

July 15, 2019

by George T Hilliard The use of computer vision or machine vision continues to grow. That growth stems from the concept of pushing more intelligence (compute power) down to the Edge of the IoT, with vision systems piggybacking onto those systems, especially in industrial settings. There are many uses of computer vision and the list… Read More »

So Many Form Factors, How Do I Choose?

June 14, 2019

If you’re a system developer or systems integrator, you likely have a dilemma: which form factor single board computer (SBC) do I deploy in my system? The answer is a very quick “it depends.” And it depends on many factors. I’ll go through some of the more popular form factors here so you can make… Read More »

An Update on Fog Computing

June 6, 2019

By George T Hilliard Fog computing has been around for a while and its definition has deviated somewhat from its original definition, thanks to the latest available products and how much compute power is now available at the edge of the IoT. I wrote a blog on this topic a while back called Cloud, Fog… Read More »

Process Your Data at the Edge

May 2, 2019

In our last blog, we discussed the concept of workload consolidation, which I described as the ability to provide higher performance and more functions with less hardware in an embedded/industrial system. As the IoT moves more into that same industrial space, we now want to take on Edge computing. As always, let’s first level-set and… Read More »
