Tiny Computers- Huge Potential 

Embedded computer systems have no margin for error. Their integrated operation is what keeps vehicles moving machines producing and our technology based world spinning- even like most, if you’re not aware that they’re all around you. Two of our latest systems- the eBOX560-300-FL and the eBOX560-880-FL are two of our smallest yet, their palm-sized footprint makes them extremely ideal for integration into tight spots whilst high-specs respectively comprise almighty units with unprecedented divergence.

Remarkably the first use of an embedded system/network was in the Apollo Project in the 1960’s which was integrated into the Apollo Guidance Computer, after this it was commercialized to the general market, permitting merchants and manufacturers to use similar technology in electronics and appliances- it is estimated that in an average home there is between 40 and 50 embedded devices, since the 60’s there has been a drastic emergence in processing abilities and functions and well as their decreasing sizes – opening the realms of possibilities even further- hence the astonishing amount of embedded systems in your home though these are more commonly known as microcontrollers and not embedded PCs- though to further the point of just how critical the embedded world of computers really is, there is 63 microprocessors in an older S-class Mercedes!

They’re special-purpose built systems which are completely encapsulated by the device they control and so must reflect this embedded nature in their reliability which is one of the main differences between the embedded and personal computer, embedded computers must be tested and retested due to the implications of any malfunctions such as in-vehicle systems or even the guidance of an intercontinental missile (hopefully not the latter). Our systems are tested meticulously at our in-house facilities around the world, whilst... CONTINUE READING
