Microchip is… Smart Factories

Microchip is...

Interview With Dean Leo, Industrial Marketing Segment Leader at Microchip Technology Inc.

In this podcast, we speak to Dean Leo, industrial marketing segment leader about Microchip’s industrial market solutions from industry 4.0, to smart factories and edge computing.

We discuss the benefits of edge computing rather than processing in the cloud, the importance of Artificial Intelligence (AI) / Machine Learning (ML) technology at the edge and the challenges facing designers of edge computing solutions in the industrial market.

Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)-powered smart factories enable high-performance computing, big data analytics, AI/ML and secure connectivity to optimize equipment health, worker safety and profitability.

Microchip’s products stand at the forefront of automation technology, maximizing power and computing efficiency in customer’s industrial automation systems resulting in cut costs and boosted product quality.

Beyond the Microchip

So much of our daily lives are controlled or influenced by electronics. We rely on GPS to direct us, we hit "brew" on our coffee machines for our mornin' cup of Joe, we wave our hands over a sensor to get running water from a faucet, and press a button to open our garage doors.

But do we really know what's going on inside? Are we aware of the universe of technology and calculations going on right under our nose?

Beyond the Microchip takes you inside the world of Embedded Control technologies to understand how the chips and sensors we can't see impact our lives in dramatic ways. They remind us why we have and embrace technology, to enhance the human experience.

Join us each episode as we look at an aspect of our daily lives that shapes what it means to be human and how we can empower the innovation that enhances that experience through Microchip Technology. Subscribe to Beyond the Microchip wherever you get your podcasts.
