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 »

Abstract image of AI and an Embedded Edge Computer

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 »

Cybersecurity at the Edge: OT vs. IT

March 31, 2022
Graphic representation of how IT interfaces with OT

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 »

Understand When COTS Will Suffice Rather Than Custom

March 25, 2022
COTS or Custom

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 »

Made in the USA is Not a Throwaway Line

March 17, 2022
Circular graphic with US flag and Made in USA text

Does Made in the USA really make a difference? You bet it does, and the reasons for that statement are now stronger than ever, thanks to things like the pandemic, the chip shortage, the difficulties in securing end systems, counterfeit components, and on and on. This argument is amplified if you are sourcing boards and… Read More »

Energy is one of the most critical infrastructure resources on our collective radar. So, it is imperative to continually monitor energy production, transport and consumption to ensure its availability, security and efficiency throughout the United States and the world. Back in February, we saw rolling blackouts across Texas while experiencing extended record-breaking cold—and the resulting… Read More »
