Rugged highly reliable embedded computing solutions
PC/104 is an embedded board standard that’s been around for quite some time, more than 30 years. When something sticks around for that long, that’s generally a sign that the spec was properly designed, with products that are able to weather the long-term technology cycles. In the case of PC/104, the spec defines a… Read More »

Recently, we discussed the differences between consumer platforms versus commercial platforms versus industrial systems versus military systems. Here, we’re going to dive a little deeper into the industrial versus commercial sectors and discuss why an industrial system is likely the better option versus a commercial system, particularly considering cybersecurity concerns. As a recap, we… 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 »

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 »
