Wind River Showcasing AI-enabling Solutions at the Intelligent Edge for Embedded World 2026

ALAMEDA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Wind River, an Aptiv company and global leader in software for the intelligent edge, will showcase technologies for edge AI transformation at Embedded World 2026 in Nuremberg, Germany from March 10-12. Demonstrations include technologies that empower organizations with a reliable, end‑to‑end foundation for edge AI use cases that preserve security, safety, and reliability throughout the lifecycle. Wind River will be exhibiting in Hall 4 / Booth Number 4-112.

“The convergence of OT and IT is reshaping the technology landscape, ushering in a new era of transformation with edge AI. The stakes are high in mission-critical areas such as aerospace, autonomous vehicles, and medical systems, where requirements are especially intensive,” said Sandeep Modhvadia, chief product officer, Wind River. “The next breakthrough will come with the growth of AI in the physical realm where intelligence isn’t confined to a single point, it must sense, think, and act across a distributed system. Wind River can help customers leverage AI and intelligence where it matters most. Providing reliable, modular and scalable solutions, Wind River empowers customers to focus on the innovative use cases and AI-driven applications that create a competitive edge.”

Featured demonstrations

• Consolidated Edge AI: Consolidation and modernization of embedded systems at the edge to allow mixing safety-critical workloads with non-safety applications such as AI, while keeping costs, space, weight, and power under control.
• Intelligent Retail: Operationalizing edge workloads at scale across a distributed retail environment; end-to-end lifecycle management of applications at the edge, deploying, updating, and monitoring containerized and VM workloads across in-store infrastructure.
• Aptiv PULSE™ Sensor: Making warehouses safer and smarter with computer vision and sensor fusion, this exhibit shows how computer vision and radar work together to improve inventory workflows, increase operational safety, and reduce both hardware complexity and cost.
• Cloud-Scale Embedded QA: De-risking and accelerating delivery with cloud-scale testing to meet the pressures to ship increasingly complex systems faster without sacrificing safety or quality. Teams can shift testing left, validating earlier in the lifecycle, running large-scale test campaigns in the cloud, and catching issues long before software hits production hardware.
• AI-assisted Modeling: Using generative AI and simulation to give teams a powerful framework to speed up the modeling of complex systems virtually.
• AI-Cobot: Demonstrating edge AI, local infrastructure, and data-driven personalization, a robotic arm showcases an on-prem, cloud-like edge infrastructure that captures physical data in its immediate environment and applies business logic.
