Rugged highly reliable embedded computing solutions
Here’s something you may not have been aware of: industrial flash options can have a huge impact on your embedded computing design. Far too many developers take the flash memory in their systems for granted, either leaving the decision until too late in the design or not choosing an option that’s right for their system….

Looking into the future, can we define any technologies that will be accelerated by the global crisis? Artificial intelligent (AI) is sure to be one. For example, temperature scanning and alerts are already available, but I expect these technologies to be improved and more prevalent at mass gatherings. When you add AI and some of… Read More »

The COVID-19 Pandemic highlights the importance of having adequate Edge computing during emergency situations to provide a means to recover from natural disasters, temporary power outages, and setting up temporarily cellular communications networks in remote areas. Our world relies heavily on the communication infrastructure enabled by industrial embedded systems—such as backup power systems for cellular… Read More »

When it comes to IIoT and embedded systems, rapid software development is crucial, for a variety of reasons. The most obvious is that design windows are fixed. If software development can’t be completed within that window, the product doesn’t ship on time. That’s a bad thing. While it may seem unintuitive, your embedded hardware vendor… Read More »

There are so many scenarios in which an embedded industrial computer should be deployed that you couldn’t possibly count them all. However, determining which embedded computer is best for your specific application can be a tricky endeavor. One way that should be obvious to determine the right platform is to look at the specifications for… Read More »

Pretty much for its entire existence, the trend in the embedded computing industry has been toward achieving smaller size, lower power, and higher performance. Sometimes these attributes can help each other to drive adoption of new technological advancements, but in others, choices must be made for priorities of size versus power and performance. For example,… Read More »
