Embedded Computing Design

In industrial automation, maintaining machine and process health is as crucial as the automation itself, evolving from a reactive approach to a more sophisticated, data-driven strategy. Initially, reactive maintenance fixed issues only after they caused costly downtimes and production delays. Preventive maintenance marked the next step, introducing regular inspections and part replacements to reduce such risks, but it still couldn't fully optimize asset utilization. Predictive Maintenance (PdM) now represents the pinnacle of this evolution in asset management, harnessing data, artificial intelligence (AI), and advanced hardware to anticipate and resolve potential issues before they escalate into failures, thus ensuring peak equipment performance and seamless operations.

Wi-Fi 6, also known as 802.11ax, is the latest evolution in wireless networking, built on the previous standard, Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac). Officially released in 2019, Wi-Fi 6 introduces several key improvements to enhance performance, efficiency, and connectivity. Compared to previous Wi-Fi standards, Wi-Fi 6 can achieve speeds up to four times faster.

Today’s embedded computing applications in harsh defense, aerospace, and industrial environments demand reliable systems that combine scalability, high-speed data processing, and a robust design into a single solution.

A growing presence of smart applications like security systems, home automation, smart lighting, smart lockers, and most IoT applications can detect human presence in various environments. As these devices increase in demand, so will their ability to perform the function above with minimal power consumption while also maintaining user privacy.

In the past, FPGAs were predominantly utilized for higher value projects. Thanks to their flexibility, vast data processing capability, minimal latency, and deterministic timing, FPGAs excel in industries such as telecommunications and industrial, driving features like AI, and autonomous systems.

Robotics are one of the most important use cases for AI in Embedded Computing, and the applications and implications are only beginning to be identified.

But we’re not going to talk about the future applications of AI and robotics, right now. Instead, it’s important to look at the applications that are already in the field and working today.

Embedded systems are continuously chasing greater flexibility and high-performance computing capabilities while combating challenges in power consumption, speed, and integration. Demanding applications such as sensing systems, medical devices, robotics, remote applications, and industrial control systems require versatile platforms that can handle diverse computational workloads.
