The requirements for efficient, reliable, and low-power SSD storage in space-constrained environments are evident in today’s evolving industrial landscape. These solutions must also be cost-effective, rugged, and be able to deliver high-speed performance throughout their lifetime in education, retail, and IoT markets.

Hello Embedded Engineers, Developers and Makers! Welcome to In Case You Missed it: Embedded Insights, the weekly news show all about Embedded technologies and solutions from Embedded Computing Design.

Entries are judged using a 15-point rubric that assesses design excellence, relative performance, and market impact/disruption. Judging is managed by the ECD Content Team.

Apacer will showcase its innovative industrial storage solutions at Embedded World 2025 in Hall 1, Booth 310, featuring optimized computing, energy efficiency, and sustainable technology. Be sure to attend Dr. Gibson Chen’s talk, "Advanced Storage for Industry Transformation," on Tuesday, March 11, at 10:30 AM in Hall 3, where he will share insights into the future of industrial storage technology.

Apacer will be presenting its next-generation industrial storage solutions at electronica 2024. While visiting Hall B4, Booth 419 attendees will be invited to learn more about the PV180-μSSD delivering NAND based storage solutions combined with an ultra-fast PCIe Gen4 x4 interface in an embedded BGA form factor the size of an IC chip.

Many of the memory suppliers choose a niche to be an expert. It may be automotive, consumer, industrial, medical, etc. In the case of Apacer Technology, the company has chosen to do it all. In my discussion with Gibson Chen, the General Manager of Apacer, I challenged whether that’s the best approach, trying to serve just about any market. Listen to this week’s Embedded Executives podcast and decide for yourself if that’s the right strategy.
