The first day of embedded world has wrapped up and thankfully there are two more days to explore, listen, and learn. The power of edge-to-cloud AI, security built from the ground up and super valuable developer tools. And because so much of the IIoT is way out on the edge, ruggedized was another word for the day. Here are a few highlights--be sure to check them out. From technology and tools, to new products and ecosystems--AI is front and center.

Modern technologies are enabling increased automation across multiple markets and enhancing everyday life. Artificial intelligence and machine learning are reshaping the way we live through the advent of automated and autonomous vehicles, smart cities, smart factories and much more. Modern technologies are enabling increased automation across multiple markets with the help with rugged, robust, reliable systems from Crystal Group. Early adopters and continued investors in AI and ML, military organizations and defense contractors helped to pioneer autonomous vehicles, which rely upon AI and ML capabilities. Critical infrastructure sectors – including power, oil and gas, telecommunications, and more – are undergoing modernization and digitization, and in turn, increasingly relying on AI, ML, and rugged, reliable systems to increase automation, efficiency, safety, and security.
