How embedded technology supports smarter connected products

Smart connected products are often described in terms of apps, dashboards and cloud platforms. In practice, the intelligence starts much closer to the physical product. The embedded electronics inside the device decide what to measure, how to interpret signals, when...
Electronic design choices that shape product reliability

Electronic design choices that shape product reliability

A product does not become reliable because it passes one final test. Reliability is shaped much earlier, in the requirements discussion, system architecture, component choices, PCB layout, embedded firmware, enclosure design and manufacturing preparation. For...
Why embedded electronics fail outside the lab and how to prevent it

Why embedded electronics fail outside the lab and how to prevent it

A prototype that behaves perfectly on the bench can still become unreliable once it is installed in a machine, vehicle, vessel or connected product. That is not because lab testing has no value. It is because the lab is usually cleaner, cooler, more predictable and...
When embedded computing is the right choice for industrial devices

When embedded computing is the right choice for industrial devices

Industrial devices are becoming more intelligent, connected and data-driven. Machine modules, maritime systems, robotic platforms, defence equipment and high-tech instruments increasingly need to sense, decide, communicate and control locally. That often leads to one...
