EE Times reports a new microcontroller combining AI-native acceleration with integrated high-bandwidth DRAM scalable to hundreds of megabytes, with tiered memory.
More on-chip memory widens what can run at the edge; relevant to embedded-device roadmaps.
IIoT & Connected Manufacturing
ODVA presented advances in industrial cybersecurity, process automation, interoperability and next-generation Ethernet technologies at its 2026 Industry Conference.
Track ODVA's security and Ethernet roadmap if your plant runs its protocols.
IIoT & Connected Manufacturing
Chemical manufacturer Braskem is partnering with Rockwell Automation to gain real-time visibility into OT assets across more than 39 facilities, using Rockwell's SecureOT platform.
Asset visibility across many sites is the first step in OT security; no results are reported yet.
Automation & Controls
A Control Global blog cites Iranian water hacks and French refrigeration attacks as evidence that, without trustworthy situational awareness in control systems and OT, there can be no assurance of safety, reliability, resilience or cybersecurity.
Consider process monitoring that is independent of the control system you are trying to secure.
Automation & Controls
Siemens is partnering with Sparepartsnow, combining Siemens' refurbishment expertise with Sparepartsnow's digital reach, to ease access to refurbished automation products and enable industrial circularity.
A refurbished-parts channel is an option for legacy spares; ask about warranty and traceability.
Robotics & Cobots
FANUC America's three-story, 132,000 sq ft facility in Auburn Hills, Mich., is an investment of more than $18 million, with 56,300 sq ft for training technicians, engineers, educators, students and manufacturing professionals.
