What do automation and embedded systems have in common? The short answer is: more and more. The annual Embedded World trade fair, held every winter in Nuremberg, Germany, has become the world’s largest show for the highly fragmented embedded community of suppliers, developers, and users. While the embedded market is fragmented into thousands of different application areas, the focus on automation has grown sharply in recent years as automation suppliers put more intelligence into their field devices. This Insight looks at some of the highlights observed by ARC analysts.
The ongoing success of Embedded World is due to the growing influence of embedded systems, primarily in the automotive sector, but also in the automation industry. Just as the importance of software is rising, embedded systems (the combination of computer hardware and software designed for a specific function within a larger system) is growing rapidly. In addition to everyday applications like automobiles, medical equipment, airplanes, vending machines, cameras, household appliances, toys and mobile devices; embedded systems are employed frequently in industrial machines and process industry devices. And, the number of applications is expanding as industrial devices become more connected.
Great Numbers, New Attendance Records
This year’s Embedded World exhibition once again reported record attendance numbers, with over 30,000 visitors and more than 1,000 exhibitors from over 40 countries. Embedded World is a magnet for new trends and applications, especially around IIoT and Industrie 4.0.
