Inclusion in EDN’s annual “Hot 100” listing is based primarily
on reader response to the product stories EDN publishes throughout
the year. Avnet is one of only two distributors to be recognized in
2016, and is the only distributor to have multiple mentions.
Introduced in January 2016, the AES-ALI3-AMPIRE10-G 10-in.
Touch-Display Kit provides engineers in highly competitive embedded
markets with the elements needed to develop a differentiated
display solution using Xilinx® Zynq®-7000 All Programmable SoC
evaluation and development boards. The touch display easily
connects to the Avnet-designed ZedBoard™, MicroZed™, PicoZed™ or
Zynq® Mini-ITX through the standard DisplayPort cable and adapter
cards included with the kit.
Demonstrating Avnet’s commitment to helping customers capitalize
on opportunities across the entire IoT ecosystem, the MicroZed
Industrial IoT Starter Kit is an out-of-the-box, edge-to-enterprise
solution backed by industry-leading technologies from IBM, Wind
River® and Xilinx® that was unveiled at the Internet of Things
World Expo in May. By simplifying IoT device-to-cloud integration,
the kit is a “significant step forward in the drive to capture the
full value proposition of the IoT,” noted Jack Desjardins, vice
president, Alliances & Ecosystem Business Development, IBM
Watson IoT, when the kit was first released.
“These kits were initially selected for coverage in our
publication because they provide developers with rapid and
easy development opportunities for key capabilities in
human-machine interface design and cloud-connected industrial
control, and they drew strong reader interest,” said Rich
Quinnell, editor of Industrial Control DesignLine for EETimes
and editor of the Systems Design Center of EDN magazine. “Both of
these products represent complex technologies that require
considerable expertise to develop from scratch. The technical
support associated with these kits helps to greatly simplify the
developer’s task, and with the IIoT kit in particular, the
simplification also applies to transitioning from prototype to
production.”
Each year, Avnet’s technical experts produce an assortment of
development boards and kits that are designed to accelerate
customers’ new product introductions, while boosting market
penetration for the supplier technologies represented on the
boards. These kits include all the tools and support needed to
bring new products from prototype to production, including
software, reference designs, cables and programming hardware.
“Keeping up to date with the latest technologies becomes more
challenging for electronics designers with each new product
generation. The goal of our Avnet engineering services organization
is to make these technologies more accessible to our customers,
enabling them to bring powerful and innovative new solutions to
market more quickly and cost-effectively,” said Jim Beneke, vice
president, global technical marketing at Avnet. “This recognition
from EDN reaffirms that we are, indeed, targeting the applications
and technologies that are of greatest interest and value to
customers.”
