Calling all engineers: The Works With Virtual Conference by Silicon Labs happens September 9-10, 2020. This free virtual event will bring together industry leaders, hardware engineers, application designers and developers for the largest smart home event dedicated to integrating smart home application designs with any hub or smart home ecosystem.

Keith Nesrsta, South-Central Regional Sales Manager at Silicon Labs, and Mike Wilkinson, Founder & CEO of Paragon Innovations, spoke about the upcoming event. Both agreed now the right time for engineers to take advantage of the current smart home ecosystems.

“The smart home, if you look at it today, is really in its infancy,” Nesrsta said. “There are a large number of ecosystems that are starting to get deployed into some high volumes. And so, what we wanted to do was create an event that hasn’t been done yet. It’s an event that really focuses in on the smart home itself.”

Works With will allow engineers and developers to innovate, design, collaborate, build and learn how to connect to these different ecosystems with key industry stakeholders.

“This is a conference very much focused on the engineering community,” Nesrsta said. “There will be panel events and technical discussions and over 15 hours of material, 40 sections, and 12 workshops spread throughout the two-day event.”

“This event is a place for us to share things that we’ve learned and learn from others in the smart home space,” Wilkinson said. “I’m hoping my team will get the opportunity to learn even more about technologies we can put to use in wireless smart home stuff we’re already doing.”

This two-day virtual event is free, but registration is required. Register Now.

MarketsandMarkets sees cloud MES leading by 2032

MarketsandMarkets sees cloud MES leading by 2032

Manufacturers are adopting MES for real-time monitoring, traceability and quality management, while forecasts differ on market size. MarketsandMarkets expects cloud to hold the largest deployment share by 2032 and outlines where hybrid matters most. The article also highlights six integration practices plants tend to overlook and what budget owners should scope beyond licenses.

  • 01The harder part of linking MES to PLCs, SCADA and DCS is a shared data model and clear ownership of control logic. Connectivity is the easier part, and plants that skip the modeling end up building translation layers.

ORAFOL halved lens inspection time using Zebra AI machine vision

ORAFOL halved lens inspection time using Zebra AI machine vision

ORAFOL Fresnel Optics automated Fresnel-lens inspection with Zebra AI machine vision, and Zebra reports inspection time fell by half. Zebra says Aurora works with any camera and that a standard camera was sufficient, while the bespoke work was an optical turret for the microstructures.

  • 01Zebra says Aurora works with any camera and that a standard camera was sufficient; the bespoke work was a custom optical turret for the microstructures.
  • 02Writing tolerances into the inspection system turns accept-or-reject into a fixed rule. That rule drives the consistency gain, which matters as much as the speed.
  • 03The sharper scoping question for small, finely structured parts is who designs the fixture and lighting, and how that is priced separately from software and camera hardware.

Qbic lists, adds cloud plan for ARM office devices

Qbic lists, adds cloud plan for ARM office devices

Taiwanese industrial PC maker Qbic Technology began trading and closed its first session up more than 10%. Its products range from meeting-room booking panels to smart access control and digital signage. The company is building a Cloud Remote Device Management platform so it sells managed devices along with the hardware. That puts a fleet console on the buyer's checklist.

  • 01One booking panel outside a conference room is a gadget; every panel, door reader and sign across a building is a fleet, and Qbic wants to be the one watching it.
