Computer Vision in Smart Manufacturing: Defect Detection and Predictive Maintenance

Chad Cox

May 27, 2026

In 1943, at the University of Chicago, Warren McCulloch and Walter Pitts published A Logical Calculus of the Ideas Imminent in Nervous Activity, leading to the foundational work on neural network concepts and modern-day artificial intelligence (AI). Now that AI is moving more to the edge, computer vision is becoming a critical tool. Computer vision systems use machine learning and deep learning to visualize and analyze data for defect detection and predictive maintenance in smart manufacturing

Developing Formally Proven Code with AI

Quentin Ochem

May 26, 2026

Developing formally proven code is challenging. It is also extraordinarily valuable: it produces software with a level of robustness that is otherwise unreachable, and you can have very high confidence that your code will not fail over time. But there is no way around it: it’s hard work.

What Triggers Work in Firmware? Uncovering Event-Driven Execution in EDK2

Swastik Ghosh

May 18, 2026

Many people think firmware runs in a simple, step-by-step way. Drivers seem to load one after another, and the execution log shows a smooth boot process. Traditional debugging tools also suggest everything happens in order. However, this view is not always correct.

May 14, 2026

Embedded software development faces many challenges. Teams are under pressure to build increasingly sophisticated systems in less time. Many of them involve more complex and less predictable behaviors thanks to the inclusion of features that harness machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI). But, unlike counterparts in enterprise software development, embedded systems need to meet stringent safety, security, and reliability requirements.

Using Safety Application Notes to Aid Safety Designs—Part 3: Improving Functional Safety Performance

Bryan Angelo Borres

May 11, 2026

After doing a first iteration of the failure modes, effects, and diagnostics analysis (FMEDA) on a safety function’s circuit, there can only be two outcomes. The first is that the system integrity level (SIL) requirements are achieved, and the second is a failure to meet the requirements.

Mouser Product of the Week: NXP Semiconductors’ FRDM-A-S32K312 Evaluation Board

Tiera Oliver

May 11, 2026

Embedded automotive, industrial, and IoT applications need a reliable, versatile, and robust platform that supports the development and prototyping of safety-critical systems. Developers of these applications need to design, test, and evaluate the performance of these systems before they are deployed into the real world, and a ready-made platform board can help.

Ada Is a Memory-Safe Language. It's Also Not New. That's the Point.

Mark Hermeling

May 4, 2026

The NSA and CISA published a cybersecurity information sheet in 2022 recommending that developers move to memory-safe languages. It was updated in 2023, then again in June 2025. These reports sparked extensive global discussion about the use of memory-safe languages in critical software. Other regulations, such as the European Cyber Resilience Act, do not explicitly mention technologies like memory safety but instead focus on higher-level concepts such as 'state-of-the-art' and 'secure-by-design'.

How Synthetic DNA for Data Storage Could Help the Memory Crisis

Tiera Oliver

May 1, 2026

If you haven’t already heard, we’re in a memory crisis. More specifically, we’re in a global memory chip shortage, which began in late 2025 and is likely to persist into 2027, according to the International Data Corporation.

This shortage is caused by the exponential increase in high-performance AI models and the amount of data and subsequent data centers required to keep them running.
