Embedded System is nothing but Converting Concept to
Reality.
Embedded Systems are devices
whose operation depends on internal computer function. Today,
Embedded System are an integral part of
cars, microwave ovens, stereos automation systems,
elevators, cell phones, security systems, in-flight entertainment systems,
automated tellers, vending machines, medical instruments, information
kiosks, PCs, etc. More than 90% of all
the microprocessors manufactured each year go into Embedded
System, and less than 10% go into PCs.
In the extremely
diverse Embedded Market consisting of tens of thousands of
unique and highly specialized embedded device
applications the scope of operations and the benefits of
specialisation are numerous. It is an expanding market with
limitless potential, which Lampex has firmly set its new focus
on.
The present
thrust is on
IP based applications, PDAs, Networking, Consumer Electronics,
etc. These products besides being integral to technology
transfer worldwide would also be deployed for in-house
production.
Each day, our lives become more
dependent on 'Embedded System', digital information technology that is
embedded in our environment. This includes not only safety-critical
applications such as automotive devices and controls, railways, aircraft,
aerospace and medical devices, but also communications, 'mobile worlds'
and 'e-worlds', the 'smart' home, clothes, factories etc. All of these
have wide-ranging impacts on society, including security, privacy and
modes of working and living. More than 98% of processors applied today are
in Embedded System and are no longer visible to the customer as
'computers' in the ordinary sense. New processors and methods of
processing sensors, actuators, communications and infrastructures are
'enablers' for this very pervasive computing. They are in a sense
ubiquitous, that is, almost invisible to the user and almost omnipresent.
As such, they form the basis for a significant economic push.
These
applications are 'vision driven' , as in the
following examples:
-
Automotive: Accident free driving
-
Aerospace: A free, safe sky for all
-
Medical Devices: Robotic surgeon
-
Communications: Seamless connectivity
-
E-Life: ubiquitous/pervasive computing.
