Insight into low current and low power characterization, measurement and optimization with the N6705B DC Power Analyzer and CX3300 Device Current Waveform Analyzer.

Simple devices like sensors are often battery or self-powered and have limited energy storage. They should have lifetimes extending into years. To understand the energy consumption of such devices, one needs to consider the power management and complex interaction of the different components and modules. To optimize battery life, it is important to know the current draw and duration of operating modes.

A key challenge is to measure current draws spanning a wide dynamic range, from nA in sleep mode to hundreds of mA in active mode. To predict lifetime and thermal control requirements it is necessary to conduct systematic energy analysis to optimize hardware and software performance. This is essential for real-life operation where environmental, (temperature etc.) and network conditions, (atmospheric attenuation etc.) can significantly decrease device operating.

LoRaWAN is the standardized WAN protocol stack defined by LoRa Alliance and used by several IoT networks, like the Smart City Networks in Aarhus and Ballerup in Denmark. Bernt-Olov Hellström is a Senior FAE from Semtech and very knowledgeable on LoRa and LoRaWAN. He will present the technical benefits of using LoRaWAN.

Semtech is the pioneer of LoRa – the Long Range radio modulation used in ISM bands to obtain 15km transmission range with very low power consumption.

Time to market er nøgle ordet når Hans Christian Løgsted, Senior Sales Manager i GPV Group, gør dig klogere på "Accelerated Market Introduction", som er en udviklingsmodel til hvor man går fra idé til produkt på markedet på en alternativ og ny måde.

We are currently in a time, where IT-criminals continuously attack companies and citizens with new techniques that bypasses security controls. They steal, deceive, blackmail and install backdoors to make as much money as possible.

Common to all the attacks we face today is that they will affect the business or the citizen. I will show why we are a target for the IT-criminals, and give real world examples of incidents. I will share pragmatic methods to catch up with the threats we face, too patch the stories I share.

Tobias have worked in some of the country's largest companies and have a deep understanding off both practical and theoretical experience about IT-security in companies. He is one of Denmark's leading expert in IT-security and is a certified: IBM Certified Ethical Hacker and EC-Council Certified Ethical Hacker (CEHv7).

Geolocation is now possible in IoT networks without GPS in the device. Kerlink will present the newest LoRaWAN standards that supports this, and how it is implemented in the Gateways and server solutions.

Florian Leclere is from Kerlink, a leading Gateway manufacturer for LoRaWAN infrastructure and a key pioneer in bringing Geolocation into ISM bands for IoT applications.

In this session, Martin Keenan – Technical Director of Avnet Abacus – will discuss how the most recent innovations in the key hardware building blocks for IoT hardware developers such as sensors, wireless components and energy storage devices are enabling the IoT of tomorrow. Recent and upcoming breakthroughs in areas such as cost, ease of use, accessibility, performance, integration and power consumption give hardware designers a mind-blowing array of options to create products that were impossible, unfeasible or impractical until now. Learn which technologies are enabling engineers and makers reach further with Avnet Abacus to change the world with technology.

In this presentation we will explore state of the art static analysis technologies that teams can employ to better understand how their software is impacted by this complexity.

Static analysis can provide deep understanding of valuable properties of a body of software. Firstly, it can understand how hazardous information can flow from sources to sinks, helping teams to understand if they are sufficiently thorough in validating input before passing it to sensitive algorithms to base critical decisions on. Secondly, it can analyze concurrency issues caused by multi-threading on multi-core processors. Static analysis can detect concurrent access to global variables and resources, providing early warning of failures that are extremely hard to find through dynamic testing. Lastly, it can show dependencies between variables through program slicing, it can calculate which output variables depend on which input variables, thereby ensuring that safety outputs do not depend on non-safe inputs.

As opposed to most LPWAN technologies, Mesh Networks has been around for more than 15 years, and as such there exists lots of experience from implementations - good as well as bad. One of the challenges in mesh networks, is too keep current consumption low to allow battery operation for years and years for all nodes. Time synchronised mesh network nodes - as seen in NeoMesh, where sleep patterns are handled by the protocol stack, brings current consumption to a level comparable to LPWAN, and as such becomes a very competitive alternative to LPWAN. This presentation will explain how the low power operation is achieved, and how this can be mapped to actual application examples.

Artificial intelligence is the use of computers to simulate human intelligence.

AI amplifies our cognitive abilities —letting us solve problems where the complexity is too great, the information is incomplete, or the details are too subtle and require expert training. Learning from data —a computer’s version of life experience - is how AI evolves. GPU computing powers the computation required for deep neural networks to learn to recognize patterns from massive amounts of data. This new computing model sparked the AI era.

In this talk Fredrik Molander from nVidia will give an overview and an introduction on modern artificial intelligence and how this new computing model is changing our world, from edge devices to cloud services.

Hvordan ser det finansielle landskab ud i dag? Og hvor går man hen, når man har brug for risikovillig kapital? De spørgsmål vil Vækstfondens CFO Jacob Hübertz medvirke til at besvare, når han på Electronics of Tomorrow vil præsentere Vækstfondens rolle i det danske økosystem og de finansieringsløsninger, der er til rådighed direkte fra Vækstfonden eller via samarbejdspartnere.

Vækstfonden medfinansierer årligt omkring 800 virksomheder bredt fordelt på brancher og i hele landet. Den enkelte finansieringsløsning afhænger af virksomhedens udfordring og kapitalbehov, men det brede sigte er altid at yde et markant bidrag til innovation og vækst i danske virksomheder.

Denne præsentation vil demonstrere en tilgang til at styre en IoT rapid-prototyping proces som en integreret del af udviklingen. Demonstrationen bygger på billige standard off the shelf komponenter som Raspberry Pi, Arduino og ESP32. Demoen er i en form af et Græskar hoved, passende til Halloween, som vi kalder Pumpkin Pi. Pumpkin Pi har "Arduino øjne", "Raspberry Pi hjerne" samt et "ESP-32 joystick".

Vi kommer specifikt til at vise hvordan man kan skabe en logisk model af enheden tidligt i processen og hvordan denne model fungerer som en kontrakt mellem dem der udvikler enheden og dem der udvikler brugergrænsefladen. Det forkorter udviklings tiden da de 2 udviklingsforløb nu kan udføres samtidigt.

Publikum kan forvente at opnå en dybere forståelse for det krævede omfang af rapid prototyping i IoT verden og en teoretisk redskabskasse samt nogle konkrete redskaber for at realisere rapid prototyping af IoT enheder.
