Future Electronics, a global leading distributor of electronic components, recently hosted a keynote panel about automation in transportation at their worldwide headquarters in Montreal, Canada.

"Embedded Systems in Transportation: Automating the Movement of People and Things" explored the changes in this rapidly evolving market, and the new challenges they bring for customers' and suppliers' engineering staffs, including new certifications, safety issues with lives on the line, and dealing with an industry that is very different from the traditional embedded customer.

The expert panel featured senior representatives from Future's suppliers, including John Johnson, Principal Market Development Engineer for the Powertrain and Safety division at STMicroelectronics, Shawn Slusser, Vice President of the Automotive Division at Infineon, Jay Nagle, Automotive Product Marketing Engineer at ON Semiconductor, and Michael Troman, Senior Manager of ICT Global Distribution and Inside Sales at TE Connectivity.

Robert Miller, President of Future Electronics, thanked everyone on his team who participated in the successful Embedded Intelligence panel.

Embedded Systems in Transportation was part of Advanced Engineering University (AEU) '19, Future's premier event for training the members of its Advanced Engineering Group on the latest technologies and applications from their valued partner suppliers.

Miller founded Future Electronics in 1968, and it remains the only component distributor with a globally integrated worldwide IT infrastructure.
