In the chat, Medina explained that the session will focus on the common hurdles engineers face when moving from a promising prototype to a reliable, factory-ready deployment. Topics include ruggedization, cloud connectivity, integration delays, and ensuring systems can run reliably 24/7.

Arduino Pro in Focus

The webinar will highlight the Arduino Pro portfolio, including Opta and Portenta Machine Control. These boards combine industrial-grade reliability with flexibility: dual-core STM32 MCUs, support for PLC programming languages as well as Arduino sketches, expansion up to 88 I/Os, and straightforward integration with Arduino Cloud or AWS IoT Core.

Medina also revealed that the webinar will include a sneak peek at a new Opta-based condition monitoring solution for vibration and temperature sensing, designed to simplify predictive maintenance in industrial environments.

Who Should Attend

The session will be valuable for process and control engineers already working in industrial automation, for those reskilling and looking for a cost-effective way to gain experience, and for startups and innovators wanting to scale prototypes into production systems.
