From Physical Signals to Precision Motion Intelligence
See how physical signals become actionable intelligence at the automation edge. ADI's software-defined automation platform turns physical signals into precision motion intelligence, integrating high-performance 48V GaN servo drives, low-voltage motion control, solid-state motor protection, advanced sensing, and Ethernet-in-Cabinet connectivity. This demo showcases how current, voltage, position, and fault data are transformed into real-time actionable intelligence at the automation edge, enabling smarter control, faster protection, reduced wiring complexity, and next-generation cabinet architectures for industrial automation.
From Fixed Control to Software Defined Systems
Advance the transition toward physical intelligence in automation with this software-defined automation platform that redefines how industrial systems are designed, deployed, and scaled at the edge. By decoupling control, motion, and protection from dedicated hardware and implementing them on a virtual PLC, the platform enables new levels of adaptability and insight without compromising determinism or reliability. Through an integrated architecture spanning software-defined control and secure Ethernet connectivity, raw electrical signals are transformed into real-time, actionable intelligence. This unified approach simplifies system design, accelerates innovation cycles, and enhances operational resilience.
Physical Intelligence in Action
Humanoid robots require tightly integrated sensing, motion, power, safety, connectivity, and AI to operate reliably. Centred around a humanoid robot, this demo brings Physical Intelligence to life through four core pillars: precision motion control, safe autonomous mobility, dexterous manipulation, and AI-driven robotics. ADI system-level solutions help robot developers reduce system complexity, accelerate development, and build more capable, reliable, and intelligent machines.
Unlocking Machine Efficiency Through Software-Defined Actuation
Reduce energy, heat, and downtime with intelligent software-defined Industrial actuation. Industrial machines rely on thousands of actuators and valves that are traditionally operated with fixed control methods that waste energy and accelerate wear. Learn how software-defined actuation continuously optimizes valve operation, applying only the energy required for each actuation event while simultaneously monitoring performance and health. By combining intelligent control and embedded diagnostics, manufacturers can improve machine efficiency, reduce maintenance requirements, increase component lifetime, and support predictive maintenance strategies. The side-by-side demonstration visually highlights the impact on thermal performance and overall system operation.
Software-Defined Automation Network Testbed
As industrial automation moves toward open, software-defined architectures, reliable interoperability is essential. Experience a turnkey industrial networking testbed that recreates realistic factory conditions and multi-vendor ecosystems. By validating network performance under demanding scenarios, this platform helps equipment manufacturers accelerate development, reduce integration risk, strengthen system robustness, and deliver seamless interoperability for next-generation industrial automation.
