NUREMBERG, Germany, March 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- As embedded world 2026 concludes in Nuremberg, one theme stands out across the exhibition halls: the rapid acceleration of intelligent edge systems. With the convergence of high-performance computing, on-device AI, and industry-specific software platforms, enterprises are increasingly shifting intelligence from the cloud to the edge to enable real-time decision-making, improved efficiency, and scalable deployment across industrial and robotic environments.
Against this backdrop, ThunderSoft, together with its joint venture Thundercomm, showcased a series of innovations designed to accelerate edge intelligence across industries. During the event, Thundercomm introduced three new solutions that demonstrate how advanced hardware platforms and software stacks are enabling a new generation of edge AI applications.
TurboX IRB10 Development Kit for Physical AI and Robotics
Built on the Qualcomm Dragonwing™ IQ10 series, the TurboX IRB10 development board and reference design targets emerging Physical AI applications such as autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) and humanoid robots. The platform provides high-performance heterogeneous computing, AI acceleration, and rich sensor connectivity, enabling developers to rapidly prototype and scale intelligent robotics systems for industrial and service environments.
Edge AI–Powered Industrial Inspection Solution
Thundercomm also demonstrated an intelligent industrial inspection solution developed in collaboration with ecosystem partners. By combining edge AI inference with machine vision technologies, the solution enables real-time defect detection directly on the factory floor. This approach significantly reduces reliance on manual inspection and cloud processing, improving manufacturing quality control while lowering operational costs and latency.
TurboX EB8 Edge Intelligence Computing Device
Complementing these solutions is the TurboX EB8, a compact edge computing device designed for AI workloads in industrial and enterprise environments. The system integrates high-performance compute, flexible I/O, and robust software support to enable deployment of vision analytics, intelligent automation, and edge-based AI services across a wide range of real-world scenarios.
Together, these three innovations illustrate a broader industry transition: the emergence of scalable edge intelligence platforms that connect powerful computing, AI capabilities, and industry software frameworks. From robotics to smart manufacturing, edge AI is rapidly becoming the backbone of next-generation intelligent systems.
ThunderSoft's presence at embedded world reflects its long-term commitment to enabling this transformation. With deep expertise in operating systems, AI frameworks, edge computing, and industry software platforms, ThunderSoft provides end-to-end technologies that help enterprises bring intelligent products and solutions to market faster.
As industries accelerate their adoption of edge AI, ThunderSoft continues to work closely with global technology partners and ecosystem developers to unlock new possibilities for intelligent devices, connected systems, and AI-driven industrial innovation.

Media Markt stellt die Führung seines Geschäfts in Österreich und der Schweiz neu auf. Wie die Muttergesellschaft Ceconomy mitteilt, übernimmt der italienische Manager Vittorio Buonfiglio die Funktion des CEO für die beiden Länderorganisationen und damit die Verantwortung für die sogenannte Alpine-Region. Der Schritt ist Teil einer breiteren Neuordnung der Konzernführung von Ceconomy, zu der auch Media Markt Saturn gehört.
Buonfiglio ist für den Elektronikhändler kein Unbekannter. Seit rund 15 Jahren bekleidet er verschiedene Führungspositionen innerhalb der Gruppe. Zuletzt war er seit Januar 2023 Chief Operating Officer von MediaWorld in Italien. Davor leitete er bereits die Schweizer Organisation als CEO, nachdem er zuvor unter anderem als COO in den Niederlanden tätig gewesen war. In seiner neuen Rolle soll er die Marktposition von Media Markt in Österreich und der Schweiz weiter ausbauen und dabei insbesondere die Entwicklung des Kunden- und Mitarbeitendenerlebnisses vorantreiben.
Der bisherige CEO der Region Österreich und Schweiz, Jan Niclas Brandt, rückt in den Vorstand von Ceconomy auf. Er übernimmt dort zum 1. April die neu geschaffene Funktion des Chief Customer Officer. Brandt hatte in den vergangenen Jahren die Neuausrichtung des Geschäfts in der Schweiz verantwortet und neue Wachstumsgeschäfte in beiden Ländern etabliert. Der zuständige Regional-CEO Guido Monferrini würdigte seine Leistungen und bezeichnete Buonfiglio zugleich als erfahrenen Führungsmanager mit breitem Know-how in E-Commerce, Marketing, Services & Solutions sowie Vertrieb.
Buonfiglio selbst kündigte an, auf dem bestehenden Fundament in Österreich und der Schweiz aufbauen zu wollen. Gemeinsam mit den Teams in der Alpine-Region wolle er Wachstum und Innovation vorantreiben und ein herausragendes Kundenerlebnis sicherstellen. Durch seine frühere Tätigkeit als CEO von Media Markt Schweiz gilt ihm die Dynamik der Märkte in der Region ebenso als vertraut wie die Strukturen der lokalen Teams.
