�

TOKYO, JAPAN - Media OutReach - APRIL 4, 2019 – Avnet, a leading global technology solutions provider,
will showcase the latest Internet of Things (IoT) solutions at the IoT/M2M Expo
of “Japan IT Week 2019” in Tokyo. During the three-day event

IoT complexities for customers to reduce time to market, provide artificial
intelligence (AI) at the edge, as well as edge-to-cloud solutions for
applications that require secure connectivity.

 

With the evolving technology landscape and cross-functional
implementation, deploying IoT is often more complex than traditional design
projects. Thus, customers need a highly experienced, collaborative partner that can bring
together a wide range of ecosystem partners including system integrators,
service providers, device manufacturers, cloud platform providers, and
components suppliers to build a solid business case for IoT. Avnet’s connected
ecosystem plays a pivotal role in solving challenges of IoT development and
deployment for customers of all sizes and across most industries, to reduce the
IoT complexities of their solutions, speed up time to market and lower costs.

 

During the event, Avnet will showcase simultaneous localization
and mapping technology with a robotic operating system on the Ultra96 Board
designed by Avnet, which allows an autonomous vehicle to identify its
coordinates as well as to detect and avoid obstacles on the roads.

 

At Avnet’s booth (West 9-37) the company will present interactive IoT solutions in
the technology areas of Autonomous Driving, Smart Cloud, Smart Factory, Smart Building,
Smart Monitoring, Smart Surveillance, and Smart Health. Together with
its partners, Avnet will demonstrate the latest IoT solutions:

 

• Honeywell — Object speed and position detection for smart
  factory

its partners.

 

At Microsoft’s booth West18-18, Avnet will
also showcase the “Avnet Azure Sphere MT3620 Starter Kit”. Azure Sphere is a
