PHOENIX – The new MaaXBoard OSM93 development kit from Avnet is the latest single-board computer (SBC) to be added to the popular MaaxBoard series of SBCs based on the i.MX 8 and i.MX 9 series of NXP Semiconductors* application processors. This SBC is ideal for applications targeting building control and automation, EV charging, industrial HMI, industrial gateways, and much more.
The MaaXBoard OSM93 is designed around a production-ready, industry standard OSM (Size-S) solder-down module, which features the i.MX 93 applications processor from NXP. Developers can use the MaaXBoard as a prototyping and development platform for the OSM, or as a production-ready SBC to reduce hardware development time and speed time to market.
“The MaaXBoard OSM93 Development Kit is a great way for embedded designers to quickly evaluate and prototype both the i.MX 93 applications processor from NXP and the Avnet Embedded OSM-SF-IMX93 OSM,” said Jim Beneke, vice president Advanced Applications Group, Avnet. “Targeting high-volume applications, the OSM 1.1 standard module is ideal for low-cost automated assembly, while lower volume applications can make use of the production ready SBC form-factor the MaaXBoard offers.”

Kit Features

Included on the OSM module is the NXP i.MX 93 applications processor, with dual Arm* Cortex*-A55 cores, an Arm Cortex-M33 core, and an Arm Ethos*-U65 NPU. There is also abundant memory with 2 GB LPDDR4 SDRAM, 16 GB eMMC 5.1 Flash and 16 MB QSPI NOR Flash. The OSM is soldered onto the main SBC carrier board, which provides additional interfaces for three USB 2.0 ports, dual 1 Gbps Ethernet, MIPI-DSI, MIPI-CSI, and a standard 40-pin header with UART, SPI, I2C, I2S, and GPIO connections. The carrier also includes interfaces for JTAG, debug, ADC, CAN-FD, SAI digital audio, two PDM microphones, and an M.2 connector that can support connection to WiFi/BT.802.15.4 wireless modules.

The MaaXBoard OSM93 Development Kit includes a downloadable Yocto-based board support package (BSP) along with a number of example designs to help developers get started. Avnet also offers several optional accessories for the MaaXBoard family, including a 7-inch MIPI-DSI LCD touch panel and a 5V/3A (USB-C connector) power supply.

See at embedded world in April
This board will be exhibited in the Avnet Embedded booth (Hall 1–510) at embedded world (April 9-11 in Nuremberg, Germany), alongside a range of new development boards engineered by Avnet Embedded, focused on edge-AI applications.
The MaaXBoard OSM93 (AES-MAAXB-OSM93-DK-G) and the i.MX 93 OSM (OSM-SF-IMX93) will be available in Q2 2024. For more information and the option to be notified on pricing and availability, please visit: www.avnet.me/MaaXBoard-OSM93.

Hamilton Caster Appoints Andrew D. Stamp as Director of Sales

Hamilton Caster Appoints Andrew D. Stamp as Director of Sales

Hamilton Caster & Mfg. Co., a 117-year-old industry leader in heavy-duty industrial casters, proudly announces the enhancement of its legacy Super Endurance Caster (SEC) series, now rebranded as the Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster (ZFSEC) series. In addition, Hamilton is introducing the all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Caster (ZFSEC2) series, both of which feature a new heavy-duty 'V-Style' seal designed to elevate performance in the most demanding environments.
The Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster (ZFSEC) series replaces Hamilton’s legacy SEC series, setting a new benchmark for kingpinless caster design in extra heavy-duty applications. Central to this upgrade is the heavy-duty 'V-Style' seal, which offers protection against dirt, debris, and moisture. This advanced sealing technology ensures consistent performance and extends the life of the caster, making it the ideal choice for environments where reliability is critical.
"With the introduction of the V-Style seal, the ZFSEC series is engineered to withstand the harshest conditions while providing zero-fix, 100% maintenance-free operation," said Mark Lippert, president of Hamilton Caster. "This enhancement allows our customers to minimize maintenance costs and downtime, further solidifying Hamilton’s reputation for durability and dependability."
The ZFSEC series retains the robust construction that Hamilton is known for, including a swivel top plate and inner raceway made from forged steel, providing superior strength for shock conditions. Sealed precision ball bearings are also now standard in all wheels, contributing to the maintenance-free performance of the series. Notably, the zerk fittings have been eliminated, as the new design makes them unnecessary.
Complementing the ZFSEC series, Hamilton introduces the all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Wheel Caster (ZFSEC2) series. This dual wheel series is engineered for extra heavy-duty applications where stability, durability, and maintenance-free operation are paramount. Like its counterpart, the ZFSEC2 series leverages the new 'V-Style' seal, ensuring that each caster is fully protected against contaminants that could compromise performance.
Combined with sealed precision ball wheel bearings, this caster series ensures zero-fix, 100% maintenance-free performance. The dual-wheel configuration enhances stability and allows for a lower overall height, offering a perfect blend of strength and maneuverability.
Casters in both series are finished in a durable HAA polyester platinum powder coat and are available in a wide variety of wheel types, allowing for customization based on application needs. For complete wheel specs and product details check out the Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster Landing Page and all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Caster Landing Page.

New Horizon Releases Innovative Functionality for Optimizing Inbound Logistics Scheduling at DCs

ACTON, Massachusetts – September 3, 2024 – New Horizon Soft, LLC (https://www.newhorizon.ai), a global leader in AI-powered supply chain planning software, announced today the release of a new version of its Buyers Workbench procurement planning software. The latest version includes the ability to optimally schedule inbound deliveries, taking into account distribution center (DC) receiving capacity, thus minimizing receiving bottlenecks and lowering inbound logistics costs. A research paper describing the innovative methodology and its deployment at an iconic $10B+ U.S. quick-service restaurant chain was recently published in the peer-reviewed academic journal, the International Journal of Operations Research and Information Systems.

Supply chain organizations typically plan purchase orders without regard to DC receiving capacity. This leads to bottlenecks on some days and underutilized staff on others. New Horizon’s methodology, called Master Purchasing Receipt Scheduling (MPRS), uses a novel algorithm to automatically and optimally schedule deliveries. The algorithm plans deliveries at the time of purchase order creation and results in a steady volume of deliveries and lower planning and logistics costs. While first deployed at a restaurant chain, the methodology is applicable to any manufacturer, wholesaler, retailer, or foodservice company operating high-velocity DCs.
