ADLink demos how machine vision and edge compute drive efficiency and savings for palletization Virtually any company that makes, sells or transports goods spends time and money putting boxes onto pallets. While this function is easy to overlook, it's currently a largely manual process that...

Nowadays, security and privacy are on everybody’s mind. Hardly a day goes by without the news of security breaches at major institutions. Most of the time, the reporting is focused on the cloud or network infrastructure, hardly ever on devices. However, when it comes...

In my previous articles here, and here, I explained the rationale for increased focus on device security and its challenges. The threats are more acute, especially from unknown foreign vendors offering predatory pricing. After reading the articles, a few people questioned me about the...

Micro-mobility solutions such as scooters, bike shares, and other vehicles have flooded our cities, but many companies face mounting criticism. Rather than profiting from the “build-break-build” ethos, micro-mobility companies are being forced to navigate, sometimes at great cost, complex public and private stakeholder relationships.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is generating a great deal of excitement across all verticals, especially as operators ramp up plans for 5G networks. IoT increasingly is being used across a broad spectrum of industries, as well as in the consumer segment. Globally, IoT...

VMware takes open, interoperable approach to enterprise IoT LAS VEGAS--The proliferation of internet of things devices will create the data enterprises, regardless of vertical focus, need to gain operational efficiencies and realize new revenue opportunities. But the IoT is marked by a deep level of...

Wireless technologies have been popular with consumers for several decades now (think Wi-Fi, cordless phones, etc.). The proliferation of smart devices has only fed the need for wireless advances, which have largely come in the form of vastly improved computing power, network connectivity and...

The StarlingX OpenStack project, launched on May 21, 2018, was created to address the need for an open source software platform that enables telco-grade applications and services to be deployed at the network edge. It will comprise value-added services that enable highly reliable applications...

The checklist for deploying Internet of Things (IoT) projects is long: Companies need to evaluate, acquire, test, deploy, integrate, secure, maintain and support their IoT deployments. At any step, things can go wrong. Software developers may run behind schedule and over budget. Teams may...

Smartphones accounted for 49% of certified devices last year, while IoT modules were the fastest-growing device segment Cellular devices are becoming more complex, supporting more bands than ever -- and the number of certified internet of things devices is booming, according to the Global Certification...

The notion of “peak smartphone” is widely discussed of late, including by the Economist.  Revenues are flattening with longer replacement cycles, saturating markets, resistance to Apple’s price increases, decreasing prices among Android’s fiercely competitive OEMs and allegedly diminishing technical improvements in successive new device...

AI will make expense reporting, sales, manufacturing and other work applications  a lot more useful—and hopefully less annoying It’s not just your home appliances that are getting smarter. Artificial intelligence (AI) is making its way not only into homes via Internet-connected speakers, thermostats, and insert-your-favorite-kitchen-gizmo-here. It is also...

The industry announcement of the Open Retail Initiative (ORI), (see this blog as well), spearheaded by Intel and Dell, couldn’t have come at a better time.  Pithy statements like “Data is the new oil” and “Data is the future” sound great, but the reality...

What is the IoT edge?  Where is the IoT edge? I want to put a stake in the sand on my definition of this oft misunderstood term. Having just completed a podcast with Qualcomm discussing IoT edge computing (take a listen here), I was struck...
