The Embedded World 2026 exhibition in Nuremberg was the largest and most unified edition to date. Organised by NürnbergMesse from 10-12 March 2026, it drew around 36,000 visitors from nearly 90 countries, a 13% increase over 2025, and hosted 1 ,262 exhibitors from 43 countries across seven halls. This growth, combined with a six‑percent increase in exhibitors, underscores the rising global importance of embedded technologies and the show’s role as a central community meeting place.

Embedded systems were historically designed as isolated solutions that performed strictly defined functions inside a closed infrastructure. In the early days, the threat model was mostly limited to physical access and internal configuration mistakes. But as networking evolved and devices became connected to corporate networks and the wider internet, the risk landscape expanded dramatically. Remote […]

Picture a robot that can pick up a box on a conveyor belt. In a demo, the box is perfect: crisp edges, consistent weight, predictable lighting. In a real facility, the box is dented, the label is half-torn, the belt jitters, and a human steps into the workspace to clear a jam. 

The Internet of Things is already a mature technology. It has an impact on many business and social areas. However, specialists continue developing IoT systems and adding new capabilities, that’s why being aware of industry trends is not superfluous. This article covers the latest IoT trends as of 2026. Keep reading to explore the details.

A plain-English tour of what an AI agent in IoT actually does, where it fits in your factory stack, the business outcomes it can unlock, and how to deploy it safely without betting the plant.

AI in embedded systems is like giving tiny computers inside our everyday devices a brain of their own. Suddenly, simple gadgets can learn, adapt, and make smart choices without us telling them what to do. Picture a thermostat that knows your daily rhythm and cuts down your energy bill, or a sensor in a factory […]

Almost 19 billion connected IoT devices, from industrial robots to smart thermostats, were estimated to be active worldwide at the end of 2024. That number is set to grow by at least another 10 billion by the end of this decade, according to IoT Analytics.

In 2019, a ransomware attack on Norsk Hydro, one of the world’s largest aluminum producers, disrupted operations across 170 sites in 40 countries. The attackers targeted connected industrial systems, forcing the company to shut down several production lines and revert to manual operations. The estimated financial impact was over $70 million in losses, stemming from […]

The development of embedded systems typically unfolds through several consistent stages: requirement analysis, design and prototyping, implementation, and commercial launch. Testing is an integral part of this entire process. Without thorough verification, achieving the desired outcomes in any project is highly unlikely. There are numerous embedded testing tools available that quality assurance (QA) experts and […]
