Rugged highly reliable embedded computing solutions
The number of application spaces being empowered by intelligent embedded systems continues to grow, from robotic drones to smart homes, to Cloud-enabled shipping containers. Embedded computers are a key part of these systems, and they鈥檙e available in many flavors. Two of the more popular varieties are single-board computers (SBC) and computer-on-modules (COM). But how do… Read More »

The inclusion of an IP rating is becoming increasingly common in everything from consumer electronics to electrical components with industrial applications. The IP rating, also known as the Ingress Protection Marking or the International Protection Marking, classifies and rates the degree to which mechanical casings and electrical enclosures protect a device against intrusion from foreign… Read More »
By George T Hilliard When dealing with Industrial IoT (IIoT) networks, particularly for manufacturing systems and utility grids, each connected device must typically execute multiple processes, such as data collection, analytics, and inference (machine decision making). One of the critical aspects of managing industrial environments is to control when and how each IoT device… Read More »

Balancing System Performance and Efficiency for Edge Computing
With cloud computing, data is typically sent from the devices on the periphery of the IoT to a central server for analysis and some decision making.聽Then, the results or decisions, including the inferences made by artificial intelligence in some cases, are returned to the originating devices for execution. However, this model is problematic for a… Read More »
Embedded Computing Design has posted a blog article by our Director of Technical Sales, George T Hilliard. It’s titled “Fanless Thermal Management in Harsh Environments.” The article talks about how industrial embedded computer systems contain complex devices with many components based on heat-sensitive silicon and why efficient thermal management is a critical aspect of any… Read More »
Last updated on 10/13/2025 Before diving deeper into topics like edge AI and industrial IoT (IIoT), it is important to establish a baseline: what exactly is an industrial embedded computer? Industrial computers are the rugged computing systems that power mission-critical applications from the inside, in industries such as manufacturing, energy, utilities, and transportation. At its… Read More »
