Rugged highly reliable embedded computing solutions
Embedded computing platforms are designed for specific tasks, so they’re typically much smaller than general‑purpose desktops or laptops. At one end of the embedded computer spectrum, tiny microcontrollers power devices like smart watches. At the other end, industrial embedded computers with rugged processors run full operating systems on compact single board computers, small fanless box… Read More »

Prototyping ensures that all stakeholders in a product’s success have a clear picture of the (nearly) finished product. It allows software testing to occur on real hardware. And it lets the design team focus on the user interface. Implementing these steps concurrently results in a faster time to market and fewer design changes along the… Read More »
When determining the best rugged embedded computer for your application, it’s important to consider whether standard or custom will best meet your needs. For example, standard single board computers (SBCs) come in several form factors, with various types of I/O and number of connectors. Surely an SBC exists to meet the physical space available for… Read More »
