Embedded Systems

An embedded system is a special purpose computer system designed to perform one or a few dedicated tasks rather than be a general-purpose computer for multiple tasks. It is generally embedded as part of a device.

Embedded systems constitute the widest possible use of computer systems. They include all
computers specifically intended as special-purpose computers. Examples of embedded systems range from a portable music player, to real-time control of systems like the space shuttle. They are identified by their functions. The majority of commercial embedded software systems are designed to perform selected functions. These systems have to overcome resource constraints and system specifications. These systems meet their real-time constraints with a combination of special purpose hardware and software custom-developed to cope with the system requirements.


The embedded system must have the unique quality and functionality of being able to restart itself even if catastrophic data corruption has taken place. This is usually accomplished with a standard electronic part called a watchdog timer that resets the computer unless the software periodically resets the timer. Embedded systems today rely on trusted Chip and processor makers like Intel, AMD and the like. Embedded software’s are being developed by developers who deploy time-tested methods like compilers, assemblers and debuggers to develop embedded system software.

Industrial computer systems

The need of computing has been increased in different sectors whether it’s manufacturing, business or official sector. Industrial computer coming up with Industrial motherboard, industrial monitor have taken a lead in this concept. Industrial PC controlled many applications including stock control, dispatch and that’s too if the needs are different.

Industrial computer systems like Rack mount system and embedded system is one of the suitable options for businesses, home and office aimed at making your work convenient, well thought-out, and creative. They are devised to safeguard fragile computer equipments. These systems possess unique features such as, durability, ease of installation, light weight, reliability and high quality.

Almost all of the communication, computing, display and any other electronic device are occupied by these systems. These systems have become more and more important that we can think of. Industrial computer systems span across all aspects of modern life whether it be education, entertainment, communication or science. These systems are dedicated to specific tasks, so embedded design engineers need to optimize it, reducing the size and cost of the product, and increasing the reliability and performance.

Industry and Industrial Computers

Industrial areas are the prevalence of dust. Dust is generated from all sorts of industrial processes from grinding and polishing to simple cleaning. Dust can clog filters and encase an electrical item like a PC and over-insulate it causing it to overheat. Another aspect of dust is that it can contain many elements including conductive particles. When these dust particles penetrate an electrical item, such as an industrial computer this will also cause a short circuit for this reason Industrial computers are built also as dustproof computers.



Heavy impacts are another peril of the industrial workplace. No matter how carefully areas are marked accidents involving forklifts and other heavy machinery Is still common. A swipe from a forklift will finish off a PC so Industrial computers are built solid state (without moving parts) to ensure they are rugged enough to withstand impacts.

Computer Revolution with Semiconductors

Semiconductors are responsible for the computer revolution, which began in the mid 20th century and is still continuing. Miniaturization of computer components, transistors and diodes made of semiconductors such as silicon and germanium, has resulted in computers becoming smaller, faster, and having superior memory power according to Moore's Law, an empirical law which states that computer speed and memory capacity both double approximately every 18 to 24 months. As a result, computers are now over a billion times faster and have over a billion times the memory capacity of ENIAC, the world's first computer, built in 1946.


Semiconductor device fabrication is the process by which chips are made. These chip are integrated circuits that are present in electrical and electronic devices and appliances. The process of semiconductor device fabrication is of multiple steps during which a wafer is created using pure semi conducting material. Usually Silicon is used to make integrated circuits.

According to US Industry & Market Outlook, there are approximately 5,000 semiconductor and electronic component manufacturers in the United States alone and they contribute $165 billion in terms of sales.

The Evolution of Technology or Industrial Motherboard

The need of computing has been increased in different sectors whether it’s manufacturing, business or official sector. Industrial computer coming up with Industrial motherboard, industrial monitor have taken a lead in this concept. Industrial PC controlled many applications including stock control, dispatch and that’s too if the needs are different.


Industrial motherboards range from ATX, Micro-ATX, and mini-ITX form factor boards. These platforms are built with standard form factor which allow customers to seamless upgrade without compatibility. The standard ATX mounting holes and I/O bracket area enable the ready-to-use and reduces cabling as well as total cost. In addition, commercial motherboard typically has a short life-cycle, industrial motherboards are under strict revision control, which means engineering changes are kept to the minimum to reducing the high cost of design changes and reduce costly maintenance and upgrade efforts. These industrial motherboards are ideal solutions for customers who are using commercial off-the-shelf products but require the flexibility of PCIe, PCI-X, PCI and AGP card expansion with industrial features such as longevity, reliability and manageability.

Racmount Computer With Accessories

Rackmount Computer products began to appear in the mid 1970's powered by the 8 bit microprocessor revolution and has quietly reshaped the computer landscape. Rackmount computer products normally comprise keyboards, mouses, monitors, speakers, scanners, servers, printers, and head phones. They have exceptional features such as scalability, longevity, revision control, durability, and reliability. Rackmount computer products are engineered to survive harsh environmental conditions such as shock, vibration, and dust. Most computer products at home get attacked by soft drinks, cookie crumbs, children's sticky fingers and other awful things. Rackmount computer products are designed to protect the equipment from damage during vibration and handling.

Rackmount computer accessories are designed to protect delicate computer equipments from damage during vibration and handling. They are ideal for businesses and home offices, making your work more comfortable, organized, and productive.

Industrial Monitors and Industrial Environment

All the laptops and desktops that are found in homes and offices are certainly not made to cope with a tough environment and their use in an industrial environment. The best choice is to go for a specially designed industrial computer that will be able to cope easily with tough conditions and continuous use in dirt and outdoors conditions. This not only mean that the shell of the computer will be able to deal with that tough environment, but it also means that what is inside the device like the motherboard and other parts of the device will be able to last for as long as possible in an industrial or manufacturing environment. The same applies for screens. You can now easily find industrial touch screens or industrial LCD monitors that are perfectly fitted for such a tough environment.

Industrial monitors that come with industrial computers work under three basic technological standards - resistive, capacitive, infrared and acoustic wave, of which resistive touch screens are the most favored due to their ease of connectivity and a high level of display clarity. Latest VISIO19 monitor having rugged framework and sturdy bodies always delivers high performance.
