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.

NVIDIA's FOX blueprint sends AI agents from a defect alert to a root-cause report

NVIDIA's FOX blueprint sends AI agents from a defect alert to a root-cause report

NVIDIA's Factory Operations Blueprint (FOX) is a reference architecture for factory agent workflows, including a defect-to-report example, with operator review rules set by the plant. Per daily.dev, Siemens’ Erlangen site reports up to 20% cost savings from FOX-based order-planning agents.

  • 01Plants configure which agent decisions need operator sign-off, treating approval rules as a settings choice rather than a product variant
  • 02Root Cause Analysis Agent links inspection findings with machine data across systems to support defect investigations
  • 03NVIDIA ran NemoClaw, OpenShell and local Nemotron models under production load in its DGX operations.

Federal agencies urge cold chain operators to lock down refrigeration controllers

Federal agencies urge cold chain operators to lock down refrigeration controllers

Federal agencies released a joint fact sheet on Nov. 5 with mitigation steps to secure industrial refrigeration and cold chain monitoring systems against cyberattacks targeting temperature controllers. The guidance cites authentication bypass, code injection and weak configurations that can cause inventory loss, equipment hazards and loss of temperature visibility across healthcare, food, agriculture and transportation sectors.

  • 01CISA, FBI, HHS, USDA and DOT urged mitigations including removing internet exposure, OT VLAN segmentation, stronger credentials and MFA, updating firmware and replacing end-of-life devices, allowlisting, tested offline backups, logging and review, and setpoint limits with alerts.
  • 02The fact sheet recommends network segmentation, stronger password practices, firmware updates and logging with regular review.

MVTec and BMG bring Halcon machine vision to Bosch Rexroth's ctrlX OS

MVTec and BMG bring Halcon machine vision to Bosch Rexroth's ctrlX OS

Bosch Manufacturing Solutions' Nexeed Integrated Vision app enables the use of MVTec's Halcon procedures on Bosch Rexroth's ctrlX OS. That suggests vision on ctrlX is becoming an app choice. Machine builders should compare stacks on licensing, training hardware and integration effort.

  • 01On a Bosch Rexroth controller, machine vision is becoming a software purchase: BMG's Nexeed Integrated Vision app makes MVTec Halcon procedures available on ctrlX OS.
  • 02ctrlX OS hardware-independence may ease controller swaps, but vision apps aren’t interchangeable, so builders should choose stacks carefully.
