Looking back we can now see a shift in how development platforms are designed and how they are used by our integrator customer base. That shift is making it easier and less expensive to perform the development stages of a deployable system project and put solutions into the hands of the warfighter faster than ever before. Development hardware can also be shared between projects, or inherited by subsequent projects. This saves not only on lab budget, but the time to order and receive all new hardware for a new development project.
Similar to how cloud computing evolved over the last decade to the de facto way of storing and managing data, Edge AI is taking off. Edge AI is one of the most notable trends in artificial intelligence, as it allows people to run AI processes without having to be concerned about security or slowdowns due to data transmission. And its impact is notable in industrial embedded computing, since it allows platforms to react quickly to inputs without access to the cloud. We asked some Edge AI partners: If analytics can be performed in the cloud, what is the benefit of an Edge AI approach, especially as it’s related to industrial embedded computing?
We are taking AI Computing to the next level! Find out how our membership in the NVIDIA® Partner Network complements the designs of our rugged computing systems to deliver enhanced deployable systems specifically designed to operate in harsh environments.
CompactPCI Serial has enjoyed notable success in rugged embedded industries thanks to its modularity, scalability and cost efficiencies. It’s a modular, open standard that has great application opportunities in applications where it can withstand most tough environmental requirements. After all, it’s widely used in the railway and transportation industry. For this blog, we asked a few CompactPCI Serial community members this question: What are some aspects that engineers should know about when evaluating CompactPCI Serial as a potential system architecture?
System integration challenges have changed over the past few years, with new demands being put on manufacturers for integration, troubleshooting and system upgrades. This blog explores how Elma and its partners Interface Concept, Concurrent Technologies and EIZO Rugged Solutions define what partnering means within our ecosystem when working together.
A recent discussion about what was known as the "Fabric Wards" led to a conversation about the merits of PCIe and Ethernet, especially in applications using open standards form factors such as VPX, SOSA and CompactPCI Serial.
Rugged platforms for demanding applications have historically been constrained by the limited operational temperature ranges of high-performance processors and other key system components. These applications often operate in challenging temperatures, and high-performance processors aren’t generally offered with these operational temperature ranges. Until now.
Designing the right case for a specific application can be very challenging. As technology companies move to a more nimble design and development process, there’s an increasing need for cost-effective standard products that can still offer elements of customization. By starting with a diverse standard product offering, designers can work through their thought process to formulate an idea, and then tailor that concept to their specific desires and needs.
As more performance is increasingly required of backplanes, while maintaining reliability, the more critical the design.
In the past few years, several end-of-life (EOL) announcements in the embedded computing market have both caused angst and opportunity. Making the shift away from a tried-and-true solution always brings with it the need to review not only the mechanical elements of an embedded system, but the integration and networking elements as well. And when that review is forced upon a designer, as in the case of an EOL announcement, it may mean forced choices of not-as-optimum alternatives. Or it could be something different altogether.
AI-based computing is enabling multiple levels of insights and safety advancements across all industries. Considerations for harnessing that computing power and applying it to applications that live in harsh and rugged environments are the topic of this blog.
Six important questions every system designer should ask when selecting a cabinet to house their electronics equipment.
The objectives of MOSA—to improve system capabilities, compatibility, and cost—are predicated on a tight collaboration between government and industry.
An ATR has particular resistance to high levels of shock and vibration, and therefore does not bend as much as other enclosures, making it an ideal choice to serve up in the International Space Station.
Chassis Managers have three primary functions to help keep systems healthy, manage system power, and ensure proper cooling.
Power Conversion Optimization in High-reliability Rugged Embedded Systems
Joint efforts between the DoD, government agencies, and industry over the past two years have resulted in a collaborative effort to adopt a common platform through the development of an open standard.
As electronics keep getting smaller, design engineers continue to establish new ways to dissipate the heat.
