Integrating embedded systems into the IT infrastructure
holds immense potential for the productive sectors of the economy. At the
“Embedded World 2013” trade show in Nuremberg from 26 to 28 February,
Fraunhofer researchers – using “Smart Farming” as an example – will demonstrate
how the interaction of machines in cyber-physical systems operates safely and
securely (Hall 5, Booth 228).
Climate change, population growth and increasingly scarce
resources are putting agriculture under pressure. Farmers must harvest as much
as possible from the smallest possible land surface. Until now, the industry
confronted this challenge with innovations in individual sectors: Intelligent
systems regulate engines in order to save on gas, for instance.
