Rugged highly reliable embedded computing solutions
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 »

The age of digital signage is upon us. Just driving down the highway shows examples of billboards that rotate their messages as we pass. In many scenarios, signage that can recognize what’s occurring in its surroundings can be a boon for merchants, manufacturers, consumers, and the general public. Now, the digital transformation of public spaces… Read More »

by George T Hilliard The use of computer vision or machine vision continues to grow. That growth stems from the concept of pushing more intelligence (compute power) down to the Edge of the IoT, with vision systems piggybacking onto those systems, especially in industrial settings. There are many uses of computer vision and the list… Read More »

By George T Hilliard If you’re a system developer or systems integrator, you likely have a dilemma: which form factor single board computer (SBC) do I deploy in my system? The answer is a very quick “it depends.” And it depends on many factors. I’ll go through some of the more popular form factors here… Read More »

By George T Hilliard Fog computing has been around for a while and its definition has deviated somewhat from its original definition, thanks to the latest available products and how much compute power is now available at the edge of the IoT. I wrote a blog on this topic a while back called Cloud, Fog… Read More »

By George T Hilliard In my last blog, we discussed the concept of workload consolidation, which I described as the ability to provide higher performance and more functions with less hardware in an embedded/industrial system. As the IoT moves more into that same industrial space, we now want to take on Edge computing. As always,… Read More »

By George T Hilliard You already know that artificial intelligence (AI) is the “next big thing” in the tech world. Leading semiconductor and software companies are pushing the boundaries with high-performance AI algorithms and signal processing techniques that, they hope, will solve some of the most complex tasks ever presented to electronic devices. Most of… Read More »
