Rugged highly reliable embedded computing solutions
We are now living in the craziest of times, certainly the craziest of my lifetime, and likely yours. Obviously, I’m referring to the COVID-19 pandemic and all the issues that it brings with it. In the embedded computing space, it’s having an impact on the global supply chain, and not a good impact, especially in… Read More »

Benchmarking is important. It’s one of the most important things a developer should do when evaluating different platforms, either from different vendors or from one vendor. However, for useful results to be realized, the proper questions must be asked. And that starts with which benchmarks are being run, as many are available. I’m not suggesting… Read More »

Here’s something you may not have been aware of: industrial flash options can have a huge impact on your embedded computing design. Far too many developers take the flash memory in their systems for granted, either leaving the decision until too late in the design or not choosing an option that’s right for their system….

Looking into the future, can we define any technologies that will be accelerated by the global crisis? Artificial intelligent (AI) is sure to be one. For example, temperature scanning and alerts are already available, but I expect these technologies to be improved and more prevalent at mass gatherings. When you add AI and some of… Read More »

Oh what a strange time it is. None of us can say that we’ve ever lived through something like this before, because nothing like this has ever happened before, certainly not to this magnitude. Obviously, I’m referring to the COVID-19 pandemic. Before I get into the technology that supports our essential business, I’d like to… Read More »

In a recent blog, we looked at the basics of how and why PC104 can enable the rugged Edge of the Industrial IoT (IIoT). That constituted Part 1 of this two-part blog. Here in Part 2, we’ll discuss how, in addition to enabling the Edge, PC104 can move into the Fog, and then into the… Read More »

The COVID-19 Pandemic highlights the importance of having adequate Edge computing during emergency situations to provide a means to recover from natural disasters, temporary power outages, and setting up temporarily cellular communications networks in remote areas. Our world relies heavily on the communication infrastructure enabled by industrial embedded systems—such as backup power systems for cellular… Read More »

We have a lot of ground to cover here, so we’re going to split this into two parts. Here in Part 1, we’ll look at some of the basics of how and why PC104 can enable the rugged Edge of the Industrial IoT (IIoT). In most scenarios, the Edge represents the first layer of processing…. Read More »
