Adam Taylor, Embedded Systems Consultant
Adam Taylor is an expert in design and development of embedded systems and FPGAs for several end applications. Throughout his career, he used FPGAs to implement a wide variety of solutions — from RADAR to safety critical control systems (SIL4) and satellite systems.
Adam has held several posts in image processing and cryptography in his career. He led large developments for several major multinational companies. For many years, Adam held significant roles in the space industry. He was a design authority at Astrium Satellites’ payload processing group for six years and was the chief engineer of a space imaging company for three years.
FPGAs are Adam’s first love. He is the author of numerous articles and papers on electronic design and FPGA design, including over 330 blogs with 25 million-plus views on how to use the Zynq and Zynq MPSoC for Xilinx.
Adam is Chartered Engineer, Fellow of the Institute of Engineering and Technology, Visiting Professor of Embedded Systems at the University of Lincoln and Arm Innovator. He is also the owner of the engineering and consultancy company Adiuvo Engineering and Training.
Kevin Keryk, Technical Marketing Mgr
Kevin Keryk is a computer engineer by degree, a technical marketing manager by day, and embedded software programming addict from an impressionable age which has turned into a mostly healthy fascination with FPGAs, Programmable Logic, and other hardware craft over the past 10 years at Avnet. He now leads a small but agile group of Machine Learning Engineers who specialize in AI at the Edge applications across a wide range of advanced devices.
The edge is where most image processing occurs. However, industrial image processing systems need to provide information and data back to the MRP/ERP system. This session discusses how to integrate the edge MPSoC solution with Avnet cloud-based solutions to securely communicate with the MRP/ERP systems.
