DigiKey and Machinechat introduce rapid engineering kits and host Connected Intelligence webinar
DigiKey and Machinechat are hosting an engineering webinar on July 28 focused on accelerating development and transforming IoT into connected intelligence, using rapid kits built around Machinechat JEDI and Arduino UNO Q.
Engineers developing edge AI and IoT solutions often face significant challenges integrating hardware and software into a reliable prototype, which can lead to delays, added complexity and higher costs. DigiKey and Machinechat have teamed up to create rapid engineering kits that remove those barriers by pairing tested hardware configurations with professional software. Rapid engineering kits, available now exclusively from DigiKey, enable engineers, educators, students and OEMs to move from initial setup to field-ready deployment in minutes and easily expand and customise applications with additional sensors and hardware.
The July 28 webinar will demonstrate how rapid kits streamline design through real-time control powered by edge intelligence. Speakers include Sanjeev Datla, founder and chief architect at Machinechat, and Josh Mickolio, technical marketing manager at DigiKey. The webinar will cover:
• How to use a rapid kit model to bridge real-time physical control and Linux/AI-capable edge computing
• What the shift from IoT to connected intelligence means for your next project
• Practical insights into reducing integration effort while accelerating deployment timelines
• The transition from IoT to intelligent, connected systems
The rapid engineering kits combine development hardware, sensors, connectivity modules and Machinechat JEDI software into a single solution for fast IoT and edge AI deployment. Each kit includes a lifetime Machinechat JEDI One license, which provides real-time data collection, customisable dashboards, data storage and automated alerts – all at a reduced cost.
The first kit features the Arduino UNO Q and an Adafruit BME280 environmental sensor for out-of-the-box monitoring of temperature, humidity and pressure. Additional kits for other hardware platforms are planned to help developers scale quickly across a wider range of applications.
