Embedded Tech Trends
I recently attended the Embedded Tech Trends event in Austin, Texas, which PICMG was proud to sponsor. The event was an industry-wide forum where suppliers of components, boards, and system level solutions met with members of relevant industry media to discuss technologies, trends, and products. Over 20 Embedded Computing Industry editors and analysts attended the two-day event which featured ~18 presentation topics. About half of the sponsors are PICMG members and the vast majority feature PICMG-based products in their portfolios. The event also fostered a variety of productive and collaborative conversations between PICMG, VITA and SOSA members
PICMG standards were the primary focus of MEN’s presentation: "IIoT Technologies in Extreme Environments" and Artesyn’s “SWAP-C Solution Using ATCA”
PICMG took the opportunity to publicly present our on-going Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) initiatives. My presentation covered:
- Current use of COM Express and CompactPCI Serial in IIoT
- COM Express Developer's kit
- Potential new small form factor specification for sensors connectivity
- Opportunity to develop new Meta-Data model for RESTful interface APIs
- Critical importance of collaboration and participation in IIoT standardization
We are working towards major announcements regarding our IIoT initiatives in March and April. Please contact us at
