    Precision Farming: Bridging the Connectivity Gap

    Chris Painter, Director of Technical Product Management at CNH Industrial, explains how precision agriculture relies on high-speed connectivity to support autonomous tractors and smart implements in rural areas with poor cellular coverage. He details CNH's 'bring your own connectivity' (BYOC) architecture, which allows farmers to integrate satellite solutions like Starlink to bridge the gap for real-time data transmission and remote vehicle intervention. The hosts also discuss recent industry news, including layoffs at Teradyne and Cruise, and Brightpick's new 'Giraffe' high-reach mobile manipulator for warehouse automation.

    Taming the Wild Edge

    Chris Catterton, head of solution engineering at Micro AI (formerly OneTech), explains how their Adam ML technology enables lightweight AI training and inference on resource-constrained microcontrollers at the extreme edge of IoT. He details how this approach solves high data transmission costs by processing data locally and only sending insights to the cloud, using examples from oil rigs and manufacturing lines. Catterton also describes how the same behavioral profiling technology provides endpoint security by detecting anomalies in CPU and memory usage to prevent ransomware attacks and other threats.

    Advancing Connectivity at the Industrial IoT Edge

    Renesas Executive Vice President Sailesh Chittipeddi explains how industrial IoT applications are driving intelligence to the edge through low-latency connectivity like Wi-Fi 6E and sustainability-focused sensor networks. He details Renesas' Forge FPGA solution for parallel sensor processing and the integration of edge AI for defect detection. In the second segment, Tirias Research analysts Keven Krewell and Steve Leibson discuss how Intel Foundry Services' backing of RISC-V and NVIDIA's failed acquisition of Arm are reshaping the semiconductor landscape, empowering RISC-V as a viable competitor to x86 and Arm in data centers and embedded systems.

    Designing IoT Solutions for Hard-to-Connect Places

    Jit Bhattacharya, Principal at Factor(e) Ventures and former CTO of Phoenix, discusses engineering IoT solutions for off-grid energy systems in rural Africa. He details three core challenges: unreliable connectivity requiring manual backup codes, low bandwidth necessitating data compression on 32-bit microcontrollers, and limited power availability demanding extreme efficiency for GSM modems. Bhattacharya also highlights the critical role of lithium-ion batteries in reducing maintenance for remote telecom towers and the importance of data pipelines for industry buy-in.

    Ep. 11 | Real-Time Edge Processing: Get to Market Faster with Future-Proofed Designs

    Richard Barry, founder of FreeRTOS and senior principal engineer at Amazon Web Services, discusses the shift toward real-time edge processing in IoT devices. He explains how microcontrollers are handling more complex workloads, including machine learning and connectivity, which creates significant knowledge gaps for engineers specializing in single domains like motor control. Barry details AWS's fleet provisioning strategies, such as Just-in-Time Registration and Fleet Provisioning by Claim, to secure devices at scale without pre-registration. He emphasizes future-proofing designs through Over-the-Air (OTA) updates and using pre-integrated, open-source libraries like FreeRTOS to manage undifferentiating functionality.
