Avnet Silica, an Avnet company (NASDAQ: AVT), will highlight software-led system design as an architectural driver in modern industrial applications through an expanded Avnet Silica-Microsoft presence at embedded world, taking place in Nuremberg, Germany, between 10-12 March, 2026.
Located directly adjacent to the main Avnet Silica booth (Hall 3A, Booth 111), the dedicated Avnet Silica-Microsoft stand explores how software choices shape industrial systems, influencing hardware architecture, scalability, security, compliance, and long-term platform viability. The dedicated stand focuses on end-to-end system design, demonstrating how hardware, software, support, and services come together in real industrial use cases. Key areas visitors can find on-site include:
AI and AI at the Edge: Live local inference running under Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2024 across x86 and ARM-based industrial platforms, highlighting how secure, offline Edge AI workloads can be deployed without dedicated AI hardware.

Avnet Silica’s broader embedded world focus on the future of embedded technology aims to help engineers move from early design to deployment-ready solutions with the right hardware and software, insight, expertise, and stability to execute with confidence. The dedicated Avnet Silica-Microsoft stand highlights a system-level view of how software-led design can deliver scalable, industrial-ready solutions in practice.
“In our discussions with industrial customers, we increasingly see that the real challenge is not hardware performance, but ensuring that software architecture, security, and lifecycle strategy are aligned from the beginning. If these foundations are not set early, complexity grows quickly,” said Martin Grossen, Director Embedded Software & Cloud Global, Avnet Silica. “At embedded world, we are showing how these decisions can be made coherently, with software and hardware designed together to support long-term deployment.”
Visitors can find Avnet Silica at embedded world 2026 in Hall 3A, Stand 111, with the collaboration stand located directly next to the main booth.
