Although it’s only a month since CES, we’ve already seen some of the impacts of the news that was dropped in Las Vegas at Consumer Electronics’ biggest show.
We were there, we met as many people as possible, learned what was going on, and tried to God what was coming (it looks good). Wireless data and power transfer via metals finds practical applications thanks to innovations from TDK, but rolling wireless is the first vehicle to connect vehicles in remote areas other than coverage on the planet Grade 5G Release 17 and NB-NTN Network Access Devices (NADs) have been shown. Just two of our favorite examples.
We definitely don’t have spaces or all the cool stuff that will hit everyone we see, but let’s talk about some of the other highlights of the show.
Digi
Digi is always reliable for powerful incremental improvements, and the company’s complete solution for Lorawan, the Digi X-On IoT platform, is actually a huge increase. This is an end-to-end connectivity solution with IoT sensor nodes for almost every likely use case, all connected through the company’s powerful XBEE ecosystem.
Deloitte
The professional services giant, best known for its financial and risk consulting, spoke at CES about the power of generative AI tools that revolutionize your business. The predicted prevalence of genai leverages basic chip manufacturing and AI vision for inspection and defect detection, from sensors through all IoT, via robots driven by Genai decision trees. It will be expanded until it is.
Elektrobit
The software is about defined vehicles, and the story is that everything is tied to the SDV concept. The Linux OS, which is managed through a hypervisor installed in the vehicle and with ASIL-B security on top, is “driving”, so the system remains well protected. As for driver experience, the company was also showing off a very cool pillar-to-pillar digital cockpit environment that is customizable, deep and comfortable.
Innatera
The company announced at CES 2024 the nerve processor T1, which spikes an ultra-low power neural microcontroller SOC, designed to bring intelligence closer to the sensor. This year they provided an evaluation kit and an SDK that lets engineers get a tester for this neural processing tool and make edge AI more accessible.
Innoviz
Innoviz was kind enough to show off the Lidar Visual Sensor system on a ride on a Loaded BMW I7. We were able to see how low latency high fidelity LIDAR systems are truly delivered in real time to autonomous systems in automobiles. Sensory arrangement with a total of 9 devices. Three for long distances, six for medium and short distances (up to about 15 cm distance). In fact, it’s an impressive display, and even aesthetically, the device is subtle enough in design, so you might even miss the casual look that comes with Lidar.
Mathematics
Mathworks is probably best known for its data science chops, but at this year’s CES it was all about the storyline about the simulation platform known as Simulink. This is a block diagram design environment designed to support simulation, automated code generation, and continuous testing of embedded systems. The key is that design, execution and operation is software-first, and the platform, as the company sees, looks real, especially in electrification technologies such as battery management, vehicle autonomy, and connectivity. Ideal for.
It is mobility
In the autonomous driving situation, many of the smartest ideas have been transformed into systems like fleets and public transport such as May Mobility. The company is partnering with local governments and private companies to deploy a fleet of autonomous taxis operating as an enhancement of existing networks of local public transport. It is also not theoretical that running operations have been successful in several cities, including Ann Arbor, Michigan and Sun City, Arizona.
Oshkosh
It’s not about b’gosh anymore, friends. Oshkosh had a huge booth, covering many major industrial areas. They said they were looking for “moments of autonomy” in every space they work. For example, the jetways at airports are very difficult for humans to dock the aircraft completely on their first attempt, but AI drivers can hit that mark accurately every time. In local government sanitation, trash trucks are a critical infrastructure, but are very inefficient, so Oshkosh can handle zero emissions, more accurately, and keep human operators and bystanders. Drive trucks are deployed.
QNX
With software-defined vehicles, and this year is CES’s password, it’s not surprising that QNX has a lot to say about this topic. The company has rebranded it to distinguish it from its parent BlackBerry, but from cloud-first tasks and software integrations to open standard-driven mixed criticality systems for safety, security and reliability. There is still evidence of that top-end security. From the wheels to the infotainment UX, the QNX is all SDV and looks very good.
Siemens
As one of the biggest and most influential companies in all industries, Siemens did everything you could imagine at the booth, but there was one big flow of software that defines hardware. These people were deeply invested in optimizing hardware operations and designing with a software-first approach with the help of software. Another important point of discussion was customization. All solutions are closely coordinated with your application to ensure that you can be as efficient and productive as possible.
Ti
Although TI has fingers in many pies in consumer and business space, we have continued to debate in the automotive sector. It utilizes sensor fusion solutions for the company to deploy next-level occupational sensors based on radar and EDGE AI software. These systems can detect the child’s condition of a car seat or object, and even determine the condition based on micromovement, they said. Similar sensor fusion systems push towards full autonomy and link camera, radar, and ultrasound data to AI, allowing for incredible levels of perception i am going.
Tobo
The digital platform company is monitoring assets with many other chips, including cloud-sars, multi-tenant, time series data management, and more in remote environments or in town centres. They have a gateway (with a Digi chip) that can run on solar or grid power. Currently, connectivity relies on wired hardlines, but wireless is coming.
