AI at the edge is changing industrial decision-making in a very practical way: it’s bringing intelligence closer to the machines, sensors, and processes that generate the data. That matters because in industrial environments, speed and context are everything. When decisions can happen locally, businesses can respond faster, reduce latency, and support more resilient operations. As industrial systems become more connected and more data-rich, edge AI is becoming less of a future concept and more of an operational advantage. 👉https://lnkd.in/eZkicw8Y #TalkingIoT #IIoT #AIoT #AI #EdgeAI

In IoT, connectivity is only part of the challenge. Security is what determines whether connected systems can be trusted at scale. That’s why zero trust is becoming such an important model for IoT cybersecurity. Instead of assuming devices, users, or networks are safe by default, zero trust starts with one principle: verify everything. Is zero trust now essential for serious IoT security strategy? 👉https://lnkd.in/e8f9-hge #TalkingIoT #ZeroTrust #IoTSecurity

🏭 A $3.1bn signal: industrial AI is moving from pilots to platforms. Schneider Electric has agreed to acquire Cognite, the Norwegian industrial data and AI software company, in an all-cash deal valued at $3.1 billion. For anyone building or buying industrial IoT and AI solutions, ask yourself: whose data platform and agent ecosystem will run your operations?

⚡ Qualcomm’s edge AI stack isn’t waiting for permission. While everyone debates “cloud vs edge”, Qualcomm is quietly assembling a full-stack platform that takes AI from prototype to production at scale. What’s moving fast: Silicon + software in one flow: Dragonwing processors, AI Hub, Foundries.io OS, and Edge Impulse MLOps now form a single, continuous path from idea to deployment. Acquisition-powered acceleration: Augentix, Arduino, Edge Impulse, Focus.AI, and Foundries.io plug directly into Qualcomm’s IE‑IoT portfolio to cover cameras, dev tools, video analytics, and lifecycle management. Real-world edge use cases: Security, retail, energy, healthcare, and industrial automation are already shipping with on-device inference, privacy-first designs, and agentic workflows. Hybrid AI architecture: Smaller, optimized models plus NPUs and CPU‑GPU‑NPU systems mean more inference happens on-device, with cloud used where it adds value. 👉 Deep dive on how Qualcomm’s edge AI stack is moving fast here: https://lnkd.in/ezppUhVQ #TalkingIoT #EdgeAI #IoT #Qualcomm #Dragonwing #IndustrialIoT #AI #EmbeddedSystems #DigitalTransformation #TechUK

The factory floor is changing — fast. And the map of who's building the future of manufacturing just shifted in ways that aren't getting enough attention. https://lnkd.in/eh3yCGJH In 2023, India became the world's fastest-growing market for industrial robot installations, surging 59% year-over-year. The UK and Canada followed close behind, signaling that automation isn't just an Asian story anymore. But here's the headline number that stops you cold: 🤖 China installed 276,000 industrial robots in a single year — more than every other major market combined. The full picture from 2023: 📈 The accelerators: 🇮🇳 India — +59% installations (the global leader in growth) 🇬🇧 United Kingdom — strong double-digit growth 🇨🇦 Canada — double-digit growth 🇨🇳 China — sheer scale: 276,000 units installed 📉 The contractors: 🇹🇼 Taiwan — installations down 43% 🇯🇵 Japan — double-digit decline 🇮🇹 Italy — double-digit decline 🇫🇷 France — double-digit decline What it tells us: ✅ Automation is no longer the exclusive playbook of mature manufacturing economies ✅ India is now a serious player in the robotics race, not just a software and services story ✅ China continues to set the pace on absolute scale — and is widening the gap ✅ Several traditional robotics powerhouses (Japan, Italy, France) are quietly losing ground ✅ The next decade of manufacturing competitiveness will be defined by who installs, integrates, and operates robots — not who designs them The robotics revolution isn't slowing. It's just redrawing the map. #Robotics #IndustrialAutomation #Manufacturing #Industry40 #SmartManufacturing #Automation #SupplyChain #ChinaManufacturing #IndiaManufacturing #ReshoringNotEnough #FactoryAutomation #DigitalTransformation #Geopolitics #ManufacturingTrends #IFR

🌍 One device. Two networks. Zero blind spots. Hybrid satellite–cellular IoT is moving from “nice to have” to “must have” as 3GPP Release 17/18 NTNs mature and single-module solutions hit the market. Why it matters for IoT teams in 2026: 🌐 Truly global coverage: Devices stay connected from city centres to remote sites by switching between cellular and satellite automatically. 🛰️ Simpler deployments: One SIM/eSIM, one platform, one SKU instead of separate satellite and cellular stacks. 📈 Faster time-to-market: Pre-integrated hybrid modules (satellite + LTE-M/NB-IoT + GNSS) cut engineering effort and BOM complexity. 🚛 Resilience by design: Satellite becomes the failover (or co-primary) link for mission-critical assets in transport, energy, agriculture, and logistics. The ecosystem is scaling fast: Iridium’s 9604, Skywave’s ST 4000, Myriota’s HyperPulse + cellular, and Vodafone IoT + Skylo NTN are all pushing hybrid into volume deployments. If you’re designing the next generation of connected assets, the question isn’t “cellular or satellite?” anymore - it’s “how soon can we go hybrid?” 👉 Deep dive on hybrid satellite–cellular IoT in a single device here: https://lnkd.in/eFYrW6wA #TalkingIoT #IoT #Connectivity #NTN #Satellite #CellularIoT #LPWAN #DigitalTransformation #Industry40 #TechUK

For decades, the semiconductor industry has been discussed in cycles: ⤴️ Demand rises 🎈 Capacity expands 📦 Inventory builds ⤵️ Prices fall 🔄 The cycle starts again But that logic is becoming less reliable. The next cycle may be shaped less by consumer demand and more by challenges such as export controls, government subsidies, national-security rules and restrictions on technology access. In other words, semiconductor strategy is becoming increasingly policy-driven. That means “growth” may no longer simply mean selling more chips. Read our 10 practical steps for managing the emerging policy-driven semiconductor cycle: https://lnkd.in/eezBQ9q4 #SemiconductorIndustry #IndustrialPolicy #TechnologyStrategy #GeopoliticalRisk #GeoTechNexus

Technology choices are becoming less about selecting the most capable component and more about preserving flexibility as platforms, standards and suppliers evolve. #TalkingIoT #Qualcomm #Schneider #Cognite #EdgeAI #IndustrialEdge #AI #IoT

Public AI can boost productivity, but without the right guardrails, it can also expose sensitive data, create compliance risks, and undermine trust. So should companies ban tools like ChatGPT, or learn to use them responsibly? The answer lies in clear policies, practical training and helping employees understand what data can - and can’t - be shared with public AI platforms. This article explores the risks, benefits and essential steps for responsible AI adoption in the workplace.
