Artificial intelligence is finding its way into Embedded applications
Nowadays, artificial intelligence is increasingly finding its way into embedded systems. It makes applications possible that were previously unthinkable. However, integrating this type of high-performance hardware in harsh environments can have implications.
Florian Faltin from Elma-Electronic, on behalf of Elincom Electronics, uses a customer case to explain how such problems can be dealt with. And an important question that should not be forgotten is how to ensure reusability of such a complex development for similar applications in the future.
Static analyzes are not sufficient to test real-time embedded software
MISRA verifications and static analyzes are increasingly used to test and verify embedded software. A real-time embedded system, as the name suggests, transmits data 'live'. Hot off the press! To ensure that this process runs smoothly, it is important to thoroughly test such a system before it is put into use.
During the D&E event, Gerard Fianen from INDES-IDS will be happy to show you what options are available for carrying out static and dynamic analyses. He discusses, among other things, unit testing, code coverage and the considerations that are important when choosing and implementing these testing tools.
Early testing brings benefits!
Testing a product/system may not be the first thing that comes to mind when designing the application in question. However, it is important to think about this carefully from the initial phase. Testing at an early stage can prevent errors and therefore additional costs.
A method for early testing is a so-called HIL test (Hardware in the Loop). Characteristic of this methodology is that in a simulation, in a model, different states of sensors, actuators and human/machine interface are simulated. In this way, future outcomes are predicted, even before an application has been realized. William Baars from CN Rood is happy to tell you more about the test methodology and show some practical examples, including recalls due to a lack of attention in the design/test phase.
Integrate software development into business processes
The daily functioning of a company consists of a complex network of business processes. To manage these business processes clearly, the right software tooling is often a suitable solution. With such a system you can see at a glance whether materials are delivered on time, assembly is not stagnant, marketing communication has been approved and what is still standing in the way of meeting a deadline.
Of course all this sounds very good! But how do you develop and integrate such a platform? Andre De Ceuninck from Logic Technology will give you a number of tools in his lecture. Get inspiration during the session and see which issues are important in the development of a suitable system.
Design challenges of a Multi-Sensor module in Smart Buildings
Smart buildings require innovative solutions that combine a wide range of sensors and functions into an easy-to-install and compact module. Every situation requires its own solution.
During his presentation, Bert van den Berg from 3T provides an insight into a case that reveals the challenges of designing a bGrid multisensor node. The application requires many interfaces and sensors, combined in a small housing with the challenge of low power consumption and accurate measurements. Are you curious how these problems were tackled? Then be sure to visit 3T's lecture.
