Embedded Computing Design

Plastic enclosures for industrial electronics, like desktop and wall-mount electronics, serve as protective cases or housings to shield devices against various environmental challenges. They are often designed to withstand mechanical impact, shock, and vibration, work as electric insulators to meet electrical isolation requirements, and withstand exposure to corrosive substances.

Power applications rely on the ability to connect power, utilizing cables and/or other power distribution equipment, to wire-to-board applications. However, in situations where it can be difficult to visually align and make these connections, a blind mate connector allows two mating connectors to properly mate with the help of guide pins, keying, and self-aligning mechanisms.

In the increasingly dynamic landscape of smart parking and traffic law enforcement, one important requirement for solutions providers lies in the adoption of highly resilient and efficient Edge computing solutions that can seamlessly cater to the demands of their technology-driven initiatives. This article explores how the ASUS IoT PE1000N Edge computer has emerged as a potentially paradigm-shifting solution for both smart parking and traffic enforcement officials on the streets and highways of Korea.

You may not be a farmer, per se, but imagine that it’s your responsibility to make sure that an abundance of crops is yielded. Thankfully, you have technology on your side that enables a vigilant oversight of the fields using a handheld device – a smartphone. Devices with these capabilities have moved from being modern conveniences to necessary tools.

Smart factories are fairly new concepts, but have evolved more in the last decade than in the 50 years prior. First, a smart factory is an advanced manufacturing facility that employs cutting-edge technologies such as the IoT, AI, and automation to optimize the entire production process.

Welcome to the third installment of Engineering Heroes, sponsored by Wind River, where we take a closer look at the lives of unsung heroes in the world of engineering whose work impacts uncountable lives across the globe. See the bottom of the article for additional content on Valentyn Hlukhotskyy and our other heroes.

As the world becomes more connected, we are met with the demand that our personal devices and at-home solutions should be too. Most of today’s versatile wireless communication solutions are designed for various devices, such as routers, access points, and smart home devices, like surveillance cameras, in order to support the transition to a smarter and more connected world.

Industrial Embedded Computers are critical to IoT, AI, Machine Learning and Edge Computing applications thanks to their optimized bandwidth, low latency, flexibility, scalability, and reliability, paired with advanced security and privacy capabilities.

The use of modular nodes in industrial computers promotes adaptable, specialized, and reliable computing solutions that are not only designed to meet the demands of industrial environments, but also support additional capabilities and changes as the industrial Edge AI industry continues to grow.

Welcome to the second installment of Engineering Heroes, sponsored by Wind River, where we take a closer look at the lives of unsung heroes in the world of engineering whose work impacts uncountable lives across the globe.  See the bottom of the article for additional content on Nandini Kappiah and our other heroes.

Writing firmware for a state-of-the-art embedded system is no easy task.

Watch Nandini discuss her role in an Android-based earthquake early warning system here.

On their own, embedded motherboards, box PCs, and touch panel PCs are capable of supporting their respective environments, such as smart retail, smart healthcare, smart manufacturing, smart transportation, and other embedded solutions, with high performance and low latency.

In the second installment of our Engineering Heroes series, sponsored by Wind River, we honor Nandini Kappiah, a Senior Director of Software Engineering at Google.

At any given moment, seven scientists, engineers, and pilots are floating 250 miles above our heads. They are the crew of the International Space Station, and they are orbiting the planet at 17,500 mph.

Meet Daire McNamara. Daire lives above a boarding school just outside Limerick, Ireland. He enjoys running, collects art, and is doing his best to learn French.

Typically developed as a comprehensive package for hobbyists, students, and engineering professionals alike, a robotics starter kit is an accessible and organized way for individuals to expand and explore new skills to develop machine vision, factory automation, and industrial communication and control applications.

The efficiency, reliability, and performance of AI inferencing, deep learning, vector processing, and other specialized workloads often rely on the ability to leverage functional hardware that supports the offloading of tasks, real-time processing, and energy efficiency to increase the overall system throughput and reduce processing bottlenecks.

Welcome to the podcast portion of our Engineering Heroes series, where we recognize design engineers and developers who do amazing work that impacts countless lives around the world.
