IoT eclipses large automated test equipment
– Traditional automatic test equipment (ATE) will not be able to meet future test challenges. Test engineers need smart ATEs to develop the smart devices required for IoT.
Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)
– The IIoT consists of a large number of interconnected industrial systems that communicate with each other and coordinate data analysis and operations to help improve industrial performance, which in turn benefits society as a whole.
The influence of the maker movement
– The Internet is driving the formation of a mass maker community. As the manufacturing movement grows in size, it will be important to assess its impact on innovation, economic growth and future generations.
