In this way, attendees, in addition to viewing the exhibit, were able to continue experimenting with Edge AI projects. These sessions, delivered in collaboration with Avnet, combined Farnell's extensive experience with Avnet's global scale to guide engineers from prototype to production.
The workshops covered practical applications of Edge AI across a wide range of development platforms, including the Raspberry Pi 5, Arduino UNO Q SBC, the Discovery STM32MP135F kit and NXP FRDM i.MX 93 development board, the Infineon PSOC Edge E84 AI evaluation kit, and the Microchip PolarFire® SoC. Engineers were able to experience firsthand how to quickly prototype and deploy AI-enabled applications at the edge.
In the words of Andrew Weatherill, VP Global Product at Farnell: “Embedded World is an invaluable opportunity to engage directly with engineers and understand the challenges they face. This year, we’ve seen strong demand for hands-on learning. Workshops have been packed, and engineers have been able to actively test real-world Edge AI applications on the latest development platforms. In collaboration with Avnet, we combined Farnell’s expertise and experience with its global scale to help engineers move faster from prototype to production.”
Farnell also highlighted its DevKit HQ, a dedicated destination designed to simplify the discovery and evaluation of development kits, single-board computers, and technical resources for embedded and AI systems development. The platform brings together development tools, documentation, and application guidance in one place to help engineers move more quickly from idea to prototype.
Community engagement was another highlight of the booth. Visitors had the opportunity to meet members of the element14 community and Clem Mayer, the engineering expert behind element14 presents, while discovering initiatives such as the RoadTest review program and design challenges.
At the event, Farnell presented the element14 community Supplier Engagement Excellence Award to Würth Elektronik in recognition of their active support of element14, thanks to their frequent interaction with engineers and their valuable contributions to community discussions.
By attending Embedded World 2026, Farnell reinforced its commitment to a single goal: supporting engineers at every stage of the design process by combining components, development platforms, technical resources, and community collaboration to transform ideas into real solutions.
