DigiKey and LabsLand Release Prism4 Remote Engineering Hardware System
LabsLand Prism4, a modular structure for building interactive real-time, remote hardware systems faster and more efficiently, supports remote hardware systems with cameras, modular lights, and evaluation boards. The platform also includes a set of Phase Dock workbench bases where devices can be attached using clicks and slides. Each Prism4 hosts specific ready-to-ship Prism4 hardware systems that are available for different technologies, including field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), select microprocessors, and microcontrollers. In addition, Prism4’s extensible system design supports the creation of remote laboratories for other fields, allowing for a variety of uses, such as remote education and training using real equipment.
“LabsLand has created an incredible technology that has the ability to control hardware platforms remotely anywhere in the world, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.” — David Sandys, senior director of technical marketing for DigiKey.
Initially developed for educational settings, LabsLand remote engineering hardware systems allow engineers, students, and educators access to hardware and software solutions that are often price-prohibitive. With the development and release of the Prism4 through DigiKey, engineers, designers, and suppliers have access to a remote engineering platform for new product demonstration, evaluation, product testing, and design, allowing engineers to try out hardware before purchasing.
Software engineers can also use the platform to learn and develop code and program remote targets using actual hardware instead of simulators. The Prism4 hardware system enables users to control and interact with the target platforms while providing video feedback demonstrating outcomes and results in real time.
