Rugged highly reliable embedded computing solutions
By George T Hilliard The title of this blog, “what is an industrial small form factor computer” should be followed by “and why should you care.” You should care because an industrial small form factor computer may be the key component that drives your entire operation, as the latest models pack more of a punch… Read More »

The inclusion of an IP rating is becoming increasingly common in everything from consumer electronics to electrical components with industrial applications. The IP rating, also known as the Ingress Protection Marking or the International Protection Marking, classifies and rates the degree to which mechanical casings and electrical enclosures protect a device against intrusion from foreign… Read More »

As seen on Embedded-Computing.com:As demand increases for long-term product availability—especially in the military, medical and industrial sectors, OEMs are responding by extending product life by either performing workarounds or stockpiling necessary components. Read More about how WINSYSTEMS is responding to customer demand for longer product life cycles.

By George T Hilliard When dealing with Industrial IoT (IIoT) networks, particularly for manufacturing systems and utility grids, each connected device must typically execute multiple processes, such as data collection, analytics, and inference (machine decision making). One of the critical aspects of managing industrial environments is to control when and how each IoT device… Read More »
Read More >Balancing System Performance and Efficiency for Edge Computing
By George T Hilliard With cloud computing, data is typically sent from the devices on the periphery of the IoT to a central server for analysis and some decision making. Then, the results or decisions, including the inferences made by artificial intelligence in some cases, are returned to the originating devices for execution. However, this… Read More »

By George T Hilliard Over the last few months, I’ve been writing articles about the various aspects of industrial embedded computing, and the systems that drive those application spaces. However, it makes sense to define what an industrial embedded computer actually is so we have a baseline for any future discussions. Using a basic definition,… Read More »

by George T Hilliard You’re working on a semi-custom design for a customer. That means you need to be tied pretty closely to your single-board computer (SBC) vendor. In fact, you probably feel like you’re spending more time with the vendor’s FAEs than with your own family. And in some cases, that might even be… Read More »
