Categories Related to Embedded PCs
An embedded PC refers to a computer system integrated into a device, designed for specific applications.
Embedded PCs are incorporated to achieve specific functions in machinery, devices, and other equipment. They find applications in a wide range of products requiring control, including industrial equipment, medical devices, and household appliances.
Embedded PCs differ from general-purpose computers in several aspects:
Specific Applications of Embedded PC:
Microcontrollers, similar to embedded PCs, are mainly used in consumer electronics for specific and localized roles when integrated into devices. In contrast, embedded PCs oversee the entire device, coordinating connections with multiple microcontrollers within the device, interfacing with external devices, and facilitating communication with users to perform the intended operations.
Embedded PCs use operating systems like Windows or Linux, resembling general-purpose computers or servers. Integrating Embedded PCs into devices allows for advanced data processing and the use of high-dimensional graphics functions.
The use of high-performance computers enables the mechanization and automation of delicate operations performed by skilled workers.
In manufacturing processes, design using CAD (Computer-Aided Design) is prevalent. Computerizing devices allows for the direct integration of design data from CAD systems to manufacturing equipment, enhancing productivity.
In medical devices, embedded PCs manage data such as diagnostic and examination information, eliminating the need to carry patient records within the facility. Additionally, there are expectations for applications such as AI (Artificial Intelligence) -assisted diagnosis and advancements in highly specialized medical practices.
When equipment manufacturers adopt general-purpose computers for developing new models, these computers may have a short product lifespan and prove disadvantageous in terms of support. Therefore, many equipment manufacturers increasingly turn to computer specialists to develop dedicated embedded PCs.
Selecting a PC and software with sufficient processing power relative to the required specifications is paramount.
It is crucial to thoroughly consider the environmental conditions of the device where the embedded PC will be installed. Factors such as operating hours, lifespan, temperature, humidity, vibrations, space, and connectivity with other devices need to be taken into account.
Since devices with embedded PCs are expected to operate for extended periods, the embedded PC must also have a long lifespan. Long-term support for the PC, especially in terms of component availability, is a critical factor.
In times of disasters like earthquakes or typhoons, uninterrupted supply and service availability are essential requirements.
Continuity is indispensable for embedded PCs, allowing users to operate devices for extended periods. Long-life design and continuous component supply are essential.
As devices become more feature-rich, compact, and easily integrable PCs become advantageous. Enhanced PC performance and functionality are also necessary.
A trend in embedded PCs ranges from expensive specialized units to cost-effective common models. Standardizing components used is also essential.
AI technology is becoming widespread in the industrial sector. The integration of AI into embedded PCs allows for the analysis of large data from IoT sensors, self-diagnosis of device conditions, and improved precision in inspection devices.
