At Embedded World 2025, Electromaker caught up with Francesco from Arduino to explore the Arduino Pro Series – a powerful expansion of Arduino’s platform, now targeting industrial and enterprise applications.
From the Portenta system-on-modules to the Nicla Vision AI smart sensors and the Opta micro PLC, Arduino is bringing open-source principles to professional-grade hardware. These solutions support edge computing, secure cloud connectivity, and modular, scalable design – while still retaining the familiar Arduino IDE and developer ecosystem.
The Arduino Cloud enables digital twins, dashboards, and remote device control, all with a strong focus on security and usability. Francesco also highlights the Nordic-powered BLE capabilities, Zephyr SDK compatibility, and a seamless learning journey for developers transitioning from maker to industrial applications.
