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 […]

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 […]

Industrial computers have gotten really powerful and can perform many complex tasks, including AI-assisted machine vision or predictive maintenance reports. But no matter how powerful an embedded computer is, it is of no use if it cannot interface with the machines on the factory floor. The sheer variety of machines in use means there are a lot of different […]

Embedded computers are usually assembled on order, with the components chosen depending on the features required. This means that the component list can change quite a bit through a product’s lifecycle, as better or cheaper parts become available. In many cases, this isn’t much of an issue, since you only care about the end performance. […]

There has been a lot of back and forth on the tariff situation, creating uncertainty in the PC market. Between the semiconductors and the other electronics used to assemble embedded computers, many critical components are sourced from tariffed nations like China, Korea, and Taiwan. How are they impacting the embedded computer market? What are the […]

Panel PCs have become ubiquitous across industries, thanks to their ease of use and small size. And MACTRON Group is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of touch-based panel PCs, especially in healthcare and industrial automation. With America looking to step up domestic manufacturing massively in the coming years, the need for small embedded computers […]

The integration of AI in various industries is proceeding swiftly, with enterprising companies finding new ways of leveraging the technology. One field in which it has proved rather effective is the healthcare industry. From medical imaging to analytical diagnosis, AI is improving healthcare technology in unprecedented ways. Here is an overview. Embedded Computers in Healthcare […]
