Some of the products include AI modeling to recognize hand gestures from a camera feed with STMicroelectronics’ STM32N6; LabsLand's Prism4, a modular ecosystem for building interactive, real-time, remote hardware systems; live sensor readings with Arduino’s UNO Q 4GB and Arduino’s Plug and Make Kit; and BeagleBoard’s PocketBeagle2, which features a small form factor and low power consumption, making it well-suited for embedded development for prototyping or deploying at scale. 

Other products include a hands-on Red Pitaya evaluation board that experiments with inverting and non-inverting amplifiers, frequency response and gain-bandwidth and Microchip’s veryVerilog mini FPGA kit, an entry-level soldering-and-learning platform for microcontroller and digital design, among others.  

SolaHD, an Emerson brand, announced its Power Supply Redundancy (RED) Modules, a new line of units engineered to eliminate single points of failure in critical power supply architectures. 

The modules continuously monitor two parallel power supplies and migrate load from a failing supply to its healthy counterpart to avoid downtime. They accept an input voltage range of 10.8–30.8 V DC (SELV) and supporting a nominal output of 12–28 Vdc with inverse battery protection, and are built for critical applications like process control, remote locations, or production systems where power interruption cannot be tolerated.

The modules have full international certifications and meet required standards including: cULus, cRUus, CE, ATEX, IECEx, ExEAC, and RoHS.

RED Modules are designed for interoperability and are fully compatible with SolaHD SDN-D, SDN-C, and SDN-P Series power supplies, and work with virtually any power supply capable of parallel operation, according to SolaHD. 

Siemens announced an AI-driven cybersecurity collaboration for industrial private 5G networks in collaboration with cybersecurity company Palo Alto Networks, combining the company’s private 5G infrastructure with Palo Alto Networks' Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW).  

This enables manufacturers to meet industrial security requirements while maintaining the critical performance their increasingly AI-driven productions demand, according to Siemens.

Palo Alto Networks has catered its NGFW technology for Siemens' private 5G infrastructure. 

Some benefits of the collaboration include:  

• Combining Siemens’ private 5G infrastructure and continuous cybersecurity monitoring with Palo Alto Networks’ AI-driven cybersecurity solution. 
• The collaboration is purpose-built for OT environments, tested across multiple industrial deployment scenarios. 
• Enhanced cybersecurity for Industrial 5G networks without compromising performance, part of the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio. 

Cyolo, a provider of secure remote privileged access for OT and cyber-physical systems, has announced the release of Cyolo PRO (Privileged Remote Operations) v7.0. an update that introduces capabilities designed specifically for OT environments.  

The update includes AI-powered session intelligence, passive OT asset and traffic discovery and enhanced centralized dashboards and UI. Those capabilities aim to create an intuitive control platform designed to simplify workflows, expand visibility, and strengthen enforceable governance across industrial environments.

For example, in terms of traffic discovery, the Cyolo PRO 7.0 introduces passive OT asset and traffic discovery, powered by a fabric controller component that integrates with existing OT switches to collect data. This functionality enables organizations to align access policies with actual operational behavior and uncover unauthorized communication paths.
