Kontron hosted its first annual ENVISION technology conference that brought together the company’s partners and customers. The purpose of this year’s conference was to foster collaboration in developing the revolutionary technologies that will continue to push the pace of innovation across a broad range of industries. Held September 19-21, 2017 in San Diego, the conference featured technology sessions by industry-leading experts from Kontron, Intel and Wind River.
Attendees also saw live demonstrations of the compute-intensive, connected Internet of Things (IoT) capabilities new advanced technologies deliver to next-generation products and applications. Industry-specific sessions were a part of the conference where attendees could take a deeper dive into the unique issues and opportunities industrial, defense, avionics and transportation markets face.
Primary to this year’s focus is Kontron’s vision of the “autonomous everywhere” paradigm where high performance embedded computing (HPEC), maximum security, IoT-enabled systems and comprehensive safety certifications are all critical requirements. Advancing the launch of this autonomous evolution were presentations that provided essential information on topics such as autonomous driving systems, secure communication and root of trust, functional safety, real-time FOG embedded servers, time sensitive networks, market-ready products and much, much more.
“The technologies we are developing today have the power to transform data into actionable information giving users the ability to harness the advanced capabilities of artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning techniques, " said Kevin Rhoads, general manager at Kontron America. "The autonomous everywhere paradigm holds far-reaching opportunities beyond just driverless cars. It encompasses breakthrough applications that will influence evolution and growth in multiple industries including aerospace, defense, commercial avionics, networking, transportation, industrial automation, robotics and medical markets."
