My definition of Industry 5.0 has to do with putting people and robots into the same environment, and having them work and operate together, safely and securely. How we get to that point is still a matter of contention. For a better understanding of what it means and how we get there, I talked to Sameer Wasson, the Vice President and Business Unit Manager for Texas Instruments’ processor business in this week’s Embedded Executives podcast.

Standards abound in the world of the IoT. There are standards organizations, some ad-hoc, some with some real muscle behind them. That is certainly the case when it comes to security for the IoT. But what if you’re designing to “open standards?” That’s something that crossed my desk recently, and to be honest, I wasn’t sure what it meant, so I decided to go to the source of that phrase, Marcin Nagy, the Product Director for IoT at AVSystem. In this week’s Embedded Executives podcast, I had Marcin explain what is meant by open standards, and then how it effects the embedded design community.

When it comes to security, nothing should be taken for granted and a developer should never assume. First, start the security discussion right at the beginning of the design. And keep it in mind throughout the process. But also, understand the cost of security. While it’s important to prevent hacks, the amount of dollars and resources spent on security must be part of an intelligent business decision. To understand better what that means, check out my interview with Dr. Andreas Kuehlmann, the Executive Chairman and Interim CEO at Tortuga Logic in this week’s Embedded Executives podcast.
