In 2022, the IndEmbed industrial exhibition was held in a new format – fully online – but retained its key mission: to bring together engineers, developers, manufacturers and integrators working in the field of embedded systems and industrial automation.

Despite the virtual format, the event was one of the most intense in its category.

Figures and facts:

  • Date of the event: December 14-16, 2022;
  • Participants: more than 600 professionals from 20 countries;
  • Partners: ARM, STMicroelectronics, Microtronics Lab;
  • Format: webinars, roundtables, 3D booth demonstrations.

Key events:

Webinar: “The Future of MCU Architecture in Industry”

ARM experts talked about the development of the Cortex-M-series and its application in power-saving devices.

Panel Discussion: “Cybersecurity for IIoT”

STMicroelectronics representatives as well as independent experts discussed vulnerabilities, approaches to secure firmware and data protection methods in industrial environments.

Online Workshop: “RTOS and Time-Critical Systems”

Shows practical cases of integrating FreeRTOS and Zephyr OS into production line devices.

Virtual exhibition: 3D stands and interactivity

A special element of the event was the virtual booth area, where participants could:

  • Walk around the 3D pavilions,
  • Interact with presentations and videos,
  • Communicate directly with company representatives through chats and video calls.

Thanks to the flexible platform, participants easily received documentation, downloaded SDKs, and watched recordings of the presentations – without having to install additional software.

Key takeaways:

  • The format proved effective for international outreach;
  • The basis for new partnerships between developers and manufacturers was established;
  • An extensive archive of videos and materials was collected (available on request).

IndEmbed 2022 was a successful starting point for hybrid formats and also confirmed the relevance of the dialog between IT and industrial automation. Online, but not boring – that’s how to describe this event, where technologies and ideas sounded at full power.
