From Edge to Fog to Cloud –
IoT Computing with SMARC
6
Cloud, Edge and Fog computing is
everywhere and everybody is talking
about it. In industrial surroundings tradi-
tional server approaches cannot provide
the required robustness for operation
in harsh industrial environments, but
how can modular systems based on the
tested SMARC Computer-on-Modules
provide an efficient solution.
Development of a cooling
system for a COM carrier system
10
During the development process of the Pentair Schroff COM carrier
system, thermal simulations were used to optimize passive cooling
through the cooling element. The result is a modular system that
can be modified to meet various customer requirements through
selection from a series of available cooling elements.
PCAP Touch displays -
what does the future hold?
12
In this article the author compares three
different touch technologies and examines
their suitability for industrial applications.
Cloud for flat-panel controllers
and RFID readers
20
The first cloud for flat-panel controllers
offers full connectivity to enable central
parameterization and constant monitor-
ing of the operational status of displays.
This brings two clear advantages: higher
ease of use and lower maintenance costs.
QorIQ processor integrates four
technologies needed for Industry 4.0
22
NXP’s new QorIQ Layerscape LS1028A processor integrates on a
single chip the 4 technologies needed in next-generation industrial
systems: time-sensitive networking, high-performance processing,
hardware-accelerated user interfaces, and high security.
Enabling future oriented functionalities
for motor control solutions

Smart… home… wireless… con-
nected… IoT… control… opening not
only new revenue sources but also new
customization skills, adaptation capa-
bility and efficiency, high quality, user
friendliness and minimized efforts. This
is just part of the complex, feature-ori-
ented solution development within the
Industry 4.0 and Smart Home world
which has already started.
