Avnet Silica to showcase Edge AI Phone Box at embedded world 2025
The distributor is inviting attendees to its booth 3A-111 at the show, which takes place between 11–13 March, to explore how embedded technology is revolutionizing industries across the board.
Avnet Silica will feature demonstrations of generative AI at the edge, including its iconic Phone Box demo, alongside innovations in power design, machine learning, wireless communications, sensors, and analog technology, at this year’s embedded world exhibition in Nuremberg, Germany.
The future’s calling on Avnet Silica’s Phone Box
The centerpiece of Avnet Silica’s exhibit is their Phone Box — a vintage-style telephone booth, powered by TRIA and AMD solutions, that blends nostalgia with cutting-edge technology. Visitors can step into the booth, pick up the handset, and engage in real-time conversations powered entirely by AI running on edge hardware. Hosted entirely offline, the Phone Box demo illustrates the incredible speed, security, and efficiency of edge-based generative AI, demonstrating how local processing ensures privacy and low latency while eliminating the need for cloud connectivity.
By evoking the familiarity of traditional phone calls, the Phone Box provides a comfortable entry point for visitors to explore the possibilities of generative AI. It highlights AI’s potential for creating natural, meaningful interactions across a wide range of industries, including industrial automation, retail, and hospitality.
Power solutions demo
Avnet Silica will also showcase advancements in power design, presenting technologies that enhance energy efficiency and system performance in embedded systems. A dedicated power area will highlight the distributor’s latest solutions, including efficient power management products designed for a range of applications from industrial automation to IoT devices.
Key demonstrations will feature components from leading suppliers such as NXP Semiconductors, STMicroelectronics, and Renesas Electronics, showcasing real-time power optimization techniques and low-power consumption strategies. Attendees can explore live demos that illustrate how advanced power management ICs (PMICs) and microcontrollers contribute to extended battery life, reduced heat generation, and improved system reliability.
Visitors will also gain insights into the integration of intelligent power monitoring and dynamic power scaling solutions, essential for optimizing performance in embedded systems. Avnet Silica’s experts will be on hand to discuss how these solutions can be tailored to meet specific design requirements, ensuring energy-efficient and scalable embedded systems.
