Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) is at the leading edge of industrial Edge AI systems, and semiconductor production, in particular, relies upon high-end AOI for maximum efficiency in manufacturing.

Advanced semiconductor production is becoming increasingly complex as wafers become thinner and the process is miniaturized. Despite this growing complexity, semiconductor manufacturers still need to ensure high yields with maximum accuracy.

Hello Embedded Professionals, Engineers, and Developers! Welcome to In Case You Missed it, the weekly news show all about Embedded technologies and solutions from Embedded Computing Design, this time coming to you LIVE from COMPUTEX 2026!

As semiconductor manufacturing moves toward sub-2nm processes, advanced packaging, and AI-driven inspection, traditional IPC-based AOI architectures are reaching their limits.

Robotics are important in every industry, from healthcare and manufacturing, where they’ve been aiding human workers for many years, to cutting-edge automation solutions in warehousing, transportation, and other areas.

Embedded Computing Design's Rich Nass looks at the latest dev kit from ADLINK with Henri Parmentier, which focuses on video.

ADLINK Technology Inc. will exhibit its edge AI portfolio at embedded world Germany (Hall 3, Booth 3-147) under the theme “Leading Edge AI Computing.” ADLINK’s highlights will include a unified edge AI architecture in a range of form factors such as COM modules and industrial motherboards to embedded systems, workstation-class GPU servers, and modular MXM and PEG GPU acceleration.

Developing edge AI, machine vision, and automation applications to be deployed in harsh environments requires flexible processing, robust memory, rich I/O, and much more in order to perform efficiently at the edge. Managing the demanding workloads from these applications is becoming increasingly difficult, which is why engineers can benefit from a compact, industrial-grade system.
