Embedded systems are usually deployed and bought at scale. This improves their cost efficiency and also ensures consistency of feature set in a large project. But this poses a problem; you really have to be sure you are buying the right system before investing that amount of capital in it.  This is why choosing an embedded system for your application can be tricky. A lot of it boils […]

Intel’s embedded processors have always been favored for their great longevity, offering long-term support for enterprises to build their setups around. 15-year lifecycles have been the established standard, allowing companies to continue using the same system configuration without transition shocks. But as Intel moves to turn around its sagging bottom line and revive its foundry […]

Embedded computers have long established their role in commercial and industrial processes, from complex applications like automated manufacturing to powering simple smart kiosks. But what about the automotive industry? In-vehicle systems are nothing new either, but they used to be very limited in their scope, being installed in very few types of vehicles. But now, embedded systems […]

Cloud computing established itself as the standard of enterprise computing a while ago. While this stays true for web-based applications, other industries are seeing a shift. Edge computing has emerged as a swiftly growing paradigm, with more and more embedded applications relying on edge architectures.  But what’s the difference between Edge and Cloud computing? And why is Edge gaining ground? Is AI related […]

Powerful embedded PCs that use the latest Intel or AMD chips are useful, but also unnecessary for many applications. There are many specialized tasks that do not require that kind of power, but rather a more efficient system, both in terms of the cost and operating energy.   Once this need was met by ASIC systems, containing hardware specially designed […]

There has been a lot of buzz around the rise of AI and how it would transform the industry. While the media focus is on things like chatbots or image generation, the real revolution would be for enterprise systems. Embedded applications have a lot of tasks that can be efficiently managed by smart AI automation, sometimes even […]

Among the many measures the US government has taken to promote domestic manufacturing is the Build America Buy America (BABA) Act. Some of its provisions are still being phased in for certain industries as prior waivers are removed, while others are already under its purview. But what does this act entail, and where does it apply? Does the embedded industry need to worry […]
