Embedded Systems are Mass Produced, Benefiting from Economies of Scale

Embedded systems are primarily deployed in advanced devices such as smart meters to ensure accurate functioning. Embedded systems are a single-purpose, application-specific computer, which are designed into a larger system to monitor and control the overall system.

The rising demand for various embedded systems with embedded graphics and multi-core technologies is predicted to propel the global embedded system market in the years to come. Further, the increasing demand for power-efficient and smarter electronic devices is expected to boost the global embedded system market in the next few years.

The increasing adoption of embedded systems across the globe is predicted to contribute towards the growth of the global embedded system market. Recently, in Fremont, CA, American Portwell Technology, Inc., a global leader in the Industrial PC market, announced the launch of the new WEBS-21A0 fanless embedded system featuring the 15W SKUs of 5th-generation Intel Core processor product family. The compact, rugged design, and high performance capability would make the WEBS-21A0 an ideal solution for applications in digital signage, kiosks, in-vehicle mobile video surveillance, defense, and medical purposes. With its greater processing power, support for 4K resolution, and high performance capability, Portwell’s WEBS-21A0 is an ideal solution for 3D video/image applications.
