The Biden Administration has led a charge on establishing ambitious environmental goals for the future, whether that’s EV infrastructure investments or plans to transition half the energy grid to solar power. These high profile commitments from the administration have put a spotlight on our country’s sustainability efforts as a whole, which still lags behind other industrialized nations. The most recent studies from Yale and Columbia universities put the US at 24th in environmental performance.

Per usual, we wanted to know: where does cutting edge technology fit into raising that performance? How will we measure and track the reduction of greenhouse emissions in the atmosphere, and how will we monitor the switch of our grid from coal to green energy effectively? We turned to the founder of Green Econometrics, Michael Davies, to get insight into how IoT sensors can help achieve sustainability goals for the US, as well as support general health and safety.

Nvidia puts a Vera Rubin AI factory in a shipping container and says it can go live in 14 days

Nvidia puts a Vera Rubin AI factory in a shipping container and says it can go live in 14 days

Nvidia introduced DSX POD, a containerized reference design that standardizes assembly of Vera Rubin AI factory blocks offsite before delivery, aiming to reduce onsite deployment work from six months to roughly two weeks. Partners build, test and cable complete systems in containers; sites still must handle land prep, power generation, water supply and external connectivity in parallel.

  • 01Containerized assembly moves factory-critical tasks like cabling, loop flushing and commissioning offsite, converting unpredictable project work into repeatable products with test records.
  • 02Power enters each core container at 800 volts DC; sites must engineer upstream generation and conversion. Cooling is liquid only; containers handle internal plumbing while sites supply water and heat rejection.
  • 03Deployment time depends on parallel site preparation: land, foundations, power and external connectivity must be ready before container arrival; on-site work is reduced, not eliminated.

A digital twin without real-time data is only a 3D model

A digital twin without real-time data is only a 3D model

Premio product marketing specialist Annie Yang, speaking at Embedded World North America 2026, separates operational digital twins from design simulations and maps a rugged edge computer's four jobs: connect, process, accelerate and operate. Premio's VCL, RCL and JCL series hold up to two full-height, full-length GPUs, and Nvidia's Jetson range spans 157 to 2,070 TOPS.

  • 01Premio's VCL, RCL and JCL series hold up to two full-height, full-length GPUs, and the NVIDIA RTX Pro Blackwell is the newest card the company supports.
  • 02Nvidia's own Jetson figures run from 157 TOPS to 2,070 TOPS, which is why Premio offers Intel, Jetson and AMD processors for different twin workloads.

A 3.5% utilities jump led September's rise in US industrial output

A 3.5% utilities jump led September's rise in US industrial output

US industrial production rose 0.7% in September, led by a 3.5% jump in utilities output while factories added only 0.3%. Factory output remains below its 2017 level. Total capacity use hit 76.9%, but manufacturing's 75.9% rate shows slack persists on production lines even as mines run above their long-run norm.

  • 01Manufacturing utilization has held between 75.8% and 76.0% since April, 2.3 points under its long-run norm.
  • 02The November 17 release is the test: a factory operating rate breaking out of its six-month band, or utilities giving back September's 3.5%, would change the read on where capacity is tight.
