Digital twins get physics-based AI brains, EU regulation arrives at hardware teams' doorstep, and the smart home camera finally gets a standards-based foundation. This week: NVIDIA and Dassault Systemes merge virtual twins with industrial AI, the Cyber Resilience Act's first enforcement phase is six months away, Matter 1.5 cameras begin shipping, and Qualcomm's five-acquisition developer platform play signals that owning the prototype-to-production pipeline is the new competi

Edge AI is moving from add-on boards into MCU silicon. This week, ST and Microchip both shipped embedded AI acceleration and production toolchains, IoT Analytics declared the dashboard era over as enterprise IoT hit $324B, Mitsubishi Electric closed its $1B acquisition of Nozomi Networks, and Dragos reported threat actors now map industrial control loops. The connecting thread: edge AI, fleet security, and enterprise IoT are graduating from pilot to baseline.

When you type /electrum haptic metronome bracelet, the exploration phase picks the idea apart. LRA motor or ERM? Can a guitarist feel a wrist pulse while strumming? Can the accelerometer tell a deliberate tap from playing motion? Can you distinguish beat 1 from beat 3 through vibration alone? These aren’t answers - they’re the start of an argument. You push back, disagree, refine. The document gives you something specific to react to.

Enterprise IoT is fading into the background as hardware, networks, and AI push toward autonomous operations. This Smart Tangibles News Digest tracks how IoT in energy races toward a $285.9B market, how Vodafone and Skylo’s NTN NB IoT make anywhere coverage realistic, how Ikea’s Matter rollout exposes real world frictions, and how ARBOR’s edge AI systems turn devices into modular data center grade nodes at the edge.

By Yoel Frischoff | February 2026 | TheRoad IoT Tech Expo Global 2026 at the Olympia I spent two days at Olympia London last week, wandering the halls of IoT Tech Expo Global 2026. After 25 years in product strategy – much of it at the intersection of hardware and software – I've developed a filter for these events: ignore the buzzwords, watch for the shifts in conversation. This year, the conversation shifted. Why London, Not Vegas CES gets the headlines. The glitzy product
