IoT
One of the new challenges arising with the use of edge, fog, and cloud architectures is the connection of components to each other and to the public cloud. An important element of developing a solution capturing all pieces is the IoT framework susietec
At the field, or edge level, data is collected by industrial computers, e.g. by gateways, which process, filter, analyze and act on these data in real-time right at the device.
Edge, fog and cloud applications demand increasing computing power. The interfaces to sensors or machines often require non-standard solutions. Especially in smaller machines, space is limited or restricted in some dimension and need a special solution.
Today, the connection from the sensor device to the embedded cloud takes place via real-time data communication, on sensor and edge level - for example Industrial Ethernet or fieldbuses - and gateways , which provide the transformation of real time data into the informational area.

Kontron 2.5-inch Pico-ITX™ SBC Selected for Editor’s Choice Award by PC/104 and Small Form Factors Magazine
New Kontron KTA55/pITX helps streamline graphics-intensive system design
Poway, California – July 19, 2011 – Kontron today announced that its KTA55 Pico-ITX™ single board computer (SBC) has been selected as an Editor’s Choice Product by PC/104 and Small Form Factors Magazine. The Kontron KTA55/pITX was chosen by the editors for their 2011 Resource Guide issue based on its ability to streamline the development process for a wide range of graphics-intensive systems. Kontron’s new AMD Embedded G-Series-based SBC platform supports an extensive range of dedicated interfaces and low power requirements in an extremely small footprint (100 x 72 mm). PC/104 and Small Form Factors Magazine editors regularly evaluate ground-breaking technologies and products to select the Editor’s Choice award recipients.
"As the infotainment bandwagon is taking off, Kontron is making the leap a bit shorter with its 2.5-inch Pico-ITX. This small, fast embedded single board computer is primed and ready for graphics-intensive development in digital signage and sales kiosks," said Monique DeVoe, OpenSystems Media, Assistant Managing Editor at PC/104 and Small Form Factors Magazine. "Kontron’s new SBC can handle DirectX 11 and pump out 1080i/p full-HD video to dual-screen displays, while still in a low-power mode of 9 W TDP with a 5 V power supply making it a good option for the future of graphics-based infotainment development."
The Kontron KTA55/pITX
The Kontron 2.5-inch Pico-ITX™ embedded SBC KTA55/pITX features the 1.2 GHz Single-Core processor AMD T44R or the 1.0 GHz Dual-Core processor AMD T40N. The new SBC integrates up to 4 GB RAM on a DDR3 SODIMM module allowing OEMS to easily scale the system configuration according to individual needs. With the DVI-I output for DVI and VGA, the 24-bit dual channel LVDS interface and the backlight output (switchable from 5 V to 12 V), OEMs can implement dual-monitor applications with resolutions up to 2 x full HD (1080p). In addition, the integrated unified video decoder minimizes the CPU load in the decoding of H.264, VC-1, MPEG, WMV and DivX HD videos. Along with the integrated high definition audio (HDA), which provides a crystal-clear audio output, the Kontron 2.5-inch Pico-ITX™ embedded SBC KTA55/pITX enables extremely energy-efficient video applications. With 6 x USB 2.0 OEMs can make use of a broad range of cost efficient peripherals for application-specific expansions.
The Kontron KTA55/pITX is an optimal platform for all small form factor applications that have advanced graphics and video performance requirements. Applications that can benefit from this SBC platform include POS/POI multimedia kiosks and dual-screen systems designed for infotainment, control rooms and machine controls. Computation-intensive image processing and digital signal processing can also take advantage of Kontron’s latest off-the-shelf platform through minimized development times and a simplified design-in process.
