A recent tour of Europe revealed several advances in automotive safety technologies, with companies such as ON Semiconductor and Toshiba making big pushes into ADAS. Meanwhile, Broadcom continues to eye Qualcomm, and industry still seems ignorant of RISC-V.

There have been some significant changes with respect to Java recently. If you’re a developer and/or you support a Java-based product, you had better be up to speed on these changes. To get the information directly from someone in the know, I turned to Scott Sellers, the President, CEO, and Co-Founder of Azul Systems for this week’s Five Minutes with…discussion. Azul bills itself as being “the world’s only company exclusively focused on Java and the Java Virtual Machine (JVM).” https://www.azul.com/

Industrial IoT is here—just about. We’re already taking advantage of some of the technologies that are available to us in the manufacturing sector, but there’s still a long way to go. According to Ed Baca, the IoT Technical Manager at TTI, retrofitting your factory is a great path to go, as opposed to starting from scratch. Ed let loose with lots of ideas for those in this IIoT space in this week’s Five Minutes with…discussion. https://www.ttiinc.com/content/ttiinc/en.html

Voice input is all the rage, with Amazon’s Echo, Apple’s Siri, Google’s Home, and so on. According to Paul Beckmann, the Founder and CTO of DSP Concepts, we’ve just scratched the surface on where this technology is going and what it’s capable of. In this week’s Five Minutes with…discussion, Paul and I talk about some specific applications, including automotive, and what it’ll take to make voice recognition something that’s way more useful than it is today. https://dspconcepts.com/

Tuangru is a software company focused on data-center management. In layman’s terms, the company manages their customers’ data. It seems like a lot can be obtain by the analysis of that data, thereby allowing decisions to be made based on facts rather than opinion or hunches. Just how that happens and how those decisions are made and the impact of those decisions are what I discussed with Jad Jebara, Tuangru’s President and CEO in this week’s Five Minutes with…discussion. https://www.tuangru.com/

Adesto Technologies is a provider of non-volatile memory. That said, they claim to be able to reduce power in a system, particularly one that’s headed for a smart IoT application. I challenged whether such a claim was really accurate, and that’s the basis for this week’s Five Minutes with…discussion with Narbeh Derhacobian, who is the President and CEO of Adesto. http://www.adestotech.com/

Everybody who builds an IoT platform says they’re concerned with security. But are they really? While there is lots of lip service paid to security, whether developers are going it its appropriate due can still be questioned. However, when you finally get to the point where you don’t question whether security is required (it is), the question becomes whether it’s a hardware problem or a software problem. Anthony Ambrose, President and CEO of Data I/O, had an interesting take on this topic in this week’s Five Minutes with…discussion. http://www.dataio.com/

The Industrial Internet Consortium, aka the IIC, works with many different organizations to ensure that, amongst other issues, there’s smooth sailing between organizations when making an IoT connection. That holds true wither it’s other industry consortiums, governments, or even specific vendors. It’s the job of the Liaison Working Group to ensure that smooth process. I had the pleasure of speaking with Wael Diab, who is the chair of the Liaison Working Group for the IIC, and he gave me a better understanding of how his group functions in this week’s Five Minutes with…discussion. http://www.iiconsortium.org/
