Rugged highly reliable embedded computing solutions
On the surface, it may not appear that there’s a difference between consumer versus commercial versus industrial versus military product grades, particularly at the component level. But I assure you there are vast differences. The distinctions are important because they significantly affect reliability, endurance, and total cost of ownership over time. More>>>
Read More >Embedded computers generally stay in use for many years. Lifetimes of these platforms are sometimes measured in decades rather than years. The capital outlay in industrial and manufacturing facilities is often expected to last 20+ years. That said, we know that upgrades will take place. Just because much of the embedded computer may be long… Read More »
Read More >High reliability and highly reliable are two terms that are thrown around a lot in the embedded computing industry. Do they mean the same thing? No, they do not. High reliability is a well-accepted term in the industry with a specific definition. Highly reliable, on the other hand, is far more subjective. That’s not to… Read More »
Read More >Artificial intelligence (AI) is fairly ubiquitous in the embedded and industrial IoT spaces. In many instances, it’s actually machine learning (ML) that’s being utilized. Although, these two terms are often used interchangeably, they are not the same thing. Very simply, ML is a form (or subset) of AI, which can be quite large is scope…. Read More »

Read More >We’ve spent lots of time discussing the Edge of the IoT, particularly what processes should be handled at the Edge versus those that are better performed in the Cloud. And you’ve probably noticed the focus moving increasingly more toward the Edge, as compute capability grows. But that discussion soon leads to the next point: just… Read More »
Read More >No one questions the need for cybersecurity these days. With attacks coming on a daily basis, the question today is “how do I secure” rather than “why should I secure” or “do I need to secure at all.” What’s less understood is the difference between securing at the OT (operational technology) level versus securing at… Read More »
Read More >COTS (commercial off-the-shelf) is a term that gets thrown around a lot in the embedded computer industry, particularly on the hardware side. COTS products are optimized for efficient, sometimes volume, production and come with a predetermined amount of functionality and I/O capabilities designed to meet the majority of computing needs of a broader market. When… Read More »
