In this episode of Embedded Insiders, Contributing Editor Rich Nass chats with Earle Foster, Senior Vice President of Sales at Sealevel Systems, about how to build embedded systems without starting from scratch. They explore when to rely on fully custom and off-the-shelf components, and where semi-custom solutions are most suitable.

Later, Ken talks with Soracom Co-Founder and CTO Kenta Yasukawa about the company’s latest GenAI developments, with a brief mention of our upcoming AI at the Edge Day.

But first, Ken and I break down the latest news on NVIDIA’s H20 chip and developing export regulations around advanced AI chips.

Rugged, future-ready embedded computing powerhouse that delivers uncompromising performance from edge to enterprise.

Sealevel Systems has an expertise in building systems for rugged, harsh environments, and the ability to achieve long life. Earle Foster explains that it detail.

The demand for rugged, reliable industrial edge computing solutions continues to grow as industries evolve and applications increasingly operate in harsher and more remote environments. Solutions like these need to be connected, modular, and advanced enough to succeed in varying conditions.  

Embedded Computing Design is excited to reveal that its all new Dev Kit Zone will make its debut at embedded world 2025 in Nuremburg, Germany, March 11 to 13.

Sealevel team members will be on hand at embedded world 25 (Hall 3, Stand 555) where they will showcase solutions for test and measurement, manufacturing automation, complete system control, and military and aerospace. Another main attraction will be the international introduction of Sealevel’s newest addition to its Relio industrial computer line, the R1 Edge.

Sealevel Systems produces some of the most rugged embedded computers that you may ever come across. And for many applications, they are a perfect fit. But if your application requirements are slightly lower, like you don’t need to deal with the highest levels of shock and vibration or the most extreme temperatures, Sealevel now has an offering for you. And it comes at a price point that’s likely easier on your budget. Hear more about the company’s new line in this video with Doug Trent, Sealevel Systems’ Inside Sales Manager.
