Embedded World North America 2024 Recap

Last week, a handful of Memfolks had the opportunity to travel to Austin to attend the first ever Embedded World North America1! Embedded World NA welcomed 3,500 visitors and 180 vendors across 3 days2. While it was surely a smaller showing than Nueremburg’s Embedded World, we still wanted to quickly touch on our takeaways from the event. In this post, we will cover what we learned from the first Embedded World North America.

How Device Management Companies Can Simplify Monitoring

Many companies that provide IoT or device management solutions need help building an in-house monitoring solution. Managing devices for your clients is challenging enough—building a monitoring system is not everyone's wheelhouse and takes time to set up. In this article, we will review some of the most common use cases for device management companies and discuss how these businesses can use MetricFire to save time and money on their monitoring.

Comparing Firmware Development Environments - Linux, Windows, WSL2, and VMWare

About a year and a half ago, I decided to take a different approach to setting up a Zephyr environment for a new project at Intercreate. Instead of using my trusty VMWare Workstation Linux VM, I opted for WSL2. I was curious to find out: Would hardware pass-through for debugging work reliably? Would all of the tooling dependencies be supported? What about build system performance?

What the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) means for IoT manufacturers

The EU Cyber Resilience Act is coming. I’ve talked about this piece of upcoming regulation in some depth before, having covered its background and stipulations in previous pieces on our website and for the Forbes Technology Council, and explored what it means for the businesses who consume open source in later articles (you can also read a version of this blog on Forbes).

Real-Time Visualization for IIoT Data

With the increased adoption of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), connected devices and sensors generate vast amounts of data, and you’ll need an effective way to capture, store, and visualize all of it. With effective data visualization and analysis, you can transform raw data into actionable insights and make informed decisions. This post will break down tools like Grafana, Node-RED, and time series databases, including their benefits to your IIoT workload.

An Introductory Guide to Cloud Security for IIoT

The state of industries has come a long way since the Industrial Revolution with new technologies such as smart devices, the internet, and the cloud. The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is a network of industrial components that share and process data to gain insights. But as IIoT involves sensitive data and life-critical operations, this also comes with various IIoT cloud security challenges. Therefore, it is important to strengthen security.
