PHOENIX – June 11, 2024 – The new K24 I/O development kit from Avnet is the latest offering for the popular AMD Kria™ System-on-Module (SOM) portfolio. This development kit is ideal for developers needing a versatile prototyping platform targeting edge solutions requiring low power and latency over processor-based systems.

The K24 I/O development kit is designed to aid developers in the evaluation of the AMD Kria K24 SOM and the creation of their own custom carrier card. The small 135mm x 80mm form factor board includes two Samtec AcceleRate HD connectors for mating to the SOM. Developers can use the K24 I/O development kit as a prototyping and development platform that offers a faster path to hardware selection and speeds time to volume production.

With the K24 I/O development kit a designer can evaluate the capabilities of the Kria K24 SOM, which features a cost-optimized, custom-built Zynq™ UltraScale+™ MPSoC device – through a combination of versatile peripherals.

“The board interfaces help designers kick-start application development with easy access to a wide set of features from the Kria K24 SOM,” said Jim Beneke, vice president Advanced Applications Group, Avnet. “The kit provides an out-of-box reference design and downloadable hardware user guide, board definition file (BDF) and PetaLinux board support package (BSP). All of these features help developers get started quickly and accelerate their development of a custom carrier card.”

AMD Kria K24 SOMs are ideal for applications in power generation, autonomous robotics, medical equipment, sensor fusion and performance targeted DSP-based applications. Combined with software compatibility, the K24 SOM and Avnet K24 I/O development kit provide a powerful prototyping platform.

The kit includes a non-production K24 SOM meant for evaluation use featuring Quad-core Arm® Cortex™-A53 MPCore™, dual Arm Cortex -R5F MPCore, Arm Mali™ -400 MP2, on-chip SRAM, four PS GTR transceivers, HPIO and MIO. offering 132 I/Os available to users. It allows the Avnet K24 I/O carrier card to provide two HSIO TXR2 expansion sites, two MikroE™ Click Expansion interfaces, a Digilent® Pmod™ Type 1A GPIO interface, 10/100/1000 Ethernet, USB 2.0 Type A and USB-Type-C JTAG-UART interface. These allow the platform to be highly scalable to numerous end applications and flexible for advancing system needs. The Kria K24 SOM also features 2GB of 32-bit LPDDR4 memory, 512Mb QSPI, 64Kb EEPROM and IEC 62443 standard with hardware root of trust security features.

Avnet has developed the I/O carrier card to support a USB-Type-C™ 15V power supply, as well as multiple boot options beyond the integrated memory, including a microSD card slot or the affordable HSIO DP/eMMC expansion module (purchased separately), SYSMON Interface, and multiple user LEDs, Push Buttons and Slide Switch.

Avnet Embedded also offers as a development service, production customization of the AES-K24-IO carrier card to specific needs, and through its Witekio software services group, can update the embedded Linux BSP for specific driver support. Avnet also offers several optional accessories including an HSIO M.2 Expansion module for extended memory or WiFi/BLE modules.

The K24 I/O development kit (AES-K24-IO-DK-G) will be available in Q3 2024. For more information and the option to be notified on pricing and availability, please visit: avnet.me/K24-DK.

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.
