With Industry 4.0 fundamentally transforming manufacturing systems and processes through IIoT technologies, manufacturers large and small are seeking the most efficient ways to reap its benefits. Potential gains include optimizing operations, generating data-driven insight, creating new revenue streams, and accelerating innovation. To paint the big picture, let’s start with a definition of Industry 4.0, followed by an explanation of what adopting it involves.

InfluxData prides itself on its effort to prioritize developer happiness. This included providing developers with a variety of tools to interact with InfluxDB v2 OSS or InfluxDB Cloud, so they can pick the development style that works best for them. This article assumes you’re using the InfluxDB Cloud Free tier, which is the easiest way to get started and maintain InfluxDB. You can use any of the following tools for your IoT application development.

With the increasing proliferation of connected devices, it might be assumed that deploying software to devices, providing incremental updates, application security and IoT device management at scale are all rolled into companies’ DevOps pipelines as one big happy portfolio. Sadly, this has not been the case to date. Most IoT software updates and management solutions today are operated in a complete silo from corporations’ DevOps processes.

The AWS IoT SiteWise plugin for Grafana was created to enable AWS IoT SiteWise customers to visualize and monitor industrial equipment data using Grafana dashboards. Industrial customers use AWS IoT SiteWise to collect, process, and monitor their industrial data at scale. This plugin allows them to use Grafana dashboards to monitor this data, stored by AWS IoT SiteWise in the AWS Cloud.

Newlib is a very popular libc targeting embedded systems. It’s the libc that ships with the GNU Arm Embedded Toolchain published by ARM. This article takes a look at one of the commonly used functions provided by the Newlib C library: memcpy. We’ll examine the default nano implementation and the performance implications, comparing it against the faster non-default implementation. Like Interrupt?
