As we go into 2023, Keysight’s senior vice president, and president of the Electronic Industrial Solutions Group (EISG), Ee Huei Sin, offers the following predictions for key technologies for the new year and the years ahead.
Rapidly evolving technologies across cloud, digital twins and artificial intelligence, 5G and 6G, quantum computing, and electric and autonomous vehicles are powering innovation across industries.
Keysight Technologies supports development of these and other technologies by delivering advanced design and validation solutions, from software-driven insights and analytics that bring tomorrow’s technology products to market faster across the development lifecycle, to design simulation, prototype validation, automated software testing, manufacturing analysis, and network performance optimisation and visibility in enterprise, service provider and cloud environments.
As the world’s leading test and measurement provider, Keysight’s customers span the worldwide communications and industrial ecosystems, aerospace and defense, automotive, energy, semiconductor and general electronics markets, and it is well-placed to anticipate key developments affecting the Electrical and Electronic (E&E) and IT landscapes, in the future.
Here are seven technologies that I believe will be key in the new year and beyond.
- Cloud cover to soften recession concerns
- Cybersecurity: the deepfake threat, hackers in your home, physical attacks
- Real-world use cases for digital twins and AI
- 6G will open new doors
- Quantum starts to realise its potential
- Electric vehicles will drive more integrated and intelligent energy consumption
- Carbon reduction
May I elaborate further on each of these technology areas.

In this month’s technology opinion leader column from Keysight Technologies, Hwee Yng Yeo shares her insights into how digital twins can help bring new products to market faster, without compromising on conformance to standards for performance and safety.

Testing the electric car with a digital twin setup that emulates high-power DC charging.
Digital twin technology is changing how the automotive industry designs and tests products and solutions for electromobility (e-mobility).
With pressure to develop more energy-efficient batteries, and a ramp-up in charging infrastructure development, digital twins can help bring new products to market faster, without compromising on conformance to standards for performance and safety.
Emulator Versus Simulator
Digital twins have emerged as a hot technology topic, but the concept has its roots in emulation technology dating back to the early 1990s.
Emulators imitate the behaviour of one or more pieces of equipment, whether an integrated circuit or even an entire piece of equipment and have numerous applications.

Roborock combines cutting-edge technologies with a keen awareness of what home-owners want to produce robot vacuums with floor-cleaning features that get the job done with minimum human intervention.

Roborock is the Best Robot Vacuum Brand 2022 in the tech4tea.com Best-in-Class Awards this year.
Having used multiple robot vacuum floor-cleaners since their debut more than a decade ago, tech4tea.com has witnessed the evolution in their design and performance over time.

The flagship S7 MaxV Ultra exemplifies Roborock’s ability to home-owners’ desire to keep their homes clean with minimum fuss and human intervention.
In the early days, a simple robot vacuum could only vacuum the floor with limited effectiveness, and required the user to manually empty the dust compartment and clean the vacuum robot frequently.
Nowadays, with robot vacuums like the S7 MaxV Ultra from Roborock, home-owners can delegate the floor cleaning of their homes completely to their robot vacuums, with minimum fuss and human intervention.
The S7 MaxV Ultra, for example, not only vacuums but also mops the floor.
