Please let me try not to make some sort of joke or remark about Canada in Trump’s worldview. However, we in the US seem to have heightened awareness of our northern neighbor. That makes this news item from a Canadian company a bit more relevant than it would be otherwise.
People living in one country find it difficult to remember that people in other countries are trying to live and grow and succeed just the same. This news regards a company new to me, Pleora Technologies, that develops high performance video interface solutions. A subset of video solutions have found a valuable niche within manufacturing and production, so I include this news.
Pleora Technologies announced its membership with FABrIC, a five-year project to secure Canada’s future in semiconductors, powered by CMC Microsystems.
The Fabrication of Integrated Components for the Internet’s Edge (FABrIC) network unites stakeholders supporting the design, manufacturing, and commercialization of semiconductors and intelligent sensor technology. By empowering organizations, researchers, and innovators in the field of advanced manufacturing, FABrIC provides unparalleled benefits to foster innovation, accelerate research, and connect stakeholders in one of Canada’s fastest-growing industries.
“FABrIC lowers barriers faced by Canadian companies to develop semiconductor manufacturing processes, create Internet-connected IoT products and services, and export into the global market” said Lynn McNeil, Vice President of FABrIC. “We are proud to have Pleora join FABrIC. Their software and hardware connectivity solutions for mission-critical applications have tremendous potential in growing intelligent sensor markets. We look forward to working with them to help accelerate Canadian innovation.”
“Our interface solutions deliver real-time, low-latency performance, which is critical for connecting sensors, edge computing, and analytics in intelligent platforms across manufacturing, medical, and security & defense applications,” said Ed Goffin, Vice President of Product Marketing, Pleora Technologies. “We are thrilled to collaborate with the members of the FABrIC network, where we can contribute key expertise to support the development, commercialization, and global adoption of Canadian IoT technology.”
