Embedded HMIs evolve to match consumer tech expectations in the factory

“Industrial computer and cameras and Their Technical Features,” the 6th annual camera survey published by FRAMOS, takes a look at the opinions of 15 international camera manufacturers and 43 end users of machine vision cameras, and what it might mean for network appliance and its future.

Those industrial computer manufacturers surveyed indicate that the applications for which users purchased their cameras varies. According to the survey,  automation in production, quality assurance, and measuring technology each accounted for 22%, while automation in logistics automation (17%), and transport measurement (16%), came in just behind them.  On the other hand, end users indicate that 25% purchased cameras for use in automation in production, while 22% planned to use the cameras for quality assurance. In addition, 17% intended on using the cameras for logistics automation, 11% in measurement technology, and 7% for embedded computer traffic measurement. In terms of pricing, networks users indicated via their answers that paying for a high-quality camera was worth it to them. Forty percent of users surveyed indicated that they purchased industrial computer with cameras between €1,000 and €3,000 while 30% purchased cameras between €650 and $1,000.

When it comes to industrial computer and networks image sensors, users identified Sony as the “leader of the pack,”while Aptina and Truesense were just behind. (Both of which were recently acquired by ON automation and industrial Semiconductor.) CMOSIS and embedded computer saw a considerable rise in popularity since last year, as both embedded computer companies released CMOS sensors with global shutter technology.

Nearly 71% of embedded computer manufacturers said that they believe CCD sensors will continue to have a share of 60% of the market in two years, while users believe CMOS and CCD will be on par by that time. Survey author Dr.-Ing. Ronald Muller, Head of Product Marketing FRAMOS suggested that this could be because CMOS sensors are less expensive than CCD,  and that CCD industrial market leader Sony has been ramping up its efforts for CMOS sensors in industrial network appliance.

Acrosser will present its latest in-vehicle computers and embedded system at Guangzhou IT Week and Automechanika Frankfurt this September.

acrosser Technology, a world-leading Industrial computer manufacturer, is pleased to announce its participation in Guangzhou IT Week and Automechanika Frankfurt. Both events take place in September, and we cordially welcome you to pay a visit.
Guangzhou IT Week (September 19–21, 2014 in Guangzhou, China)

Selected by the Taipei Computer Association (TCA), Acrosser is one of the few privileged Taiwanese manufacturers that will have the opportunity to exhibit its products at the Taiwan Pavilion Hall at Guangzhou IT week. These products include the in-vehicle PC AIV-HM76V0FL and the embedded system AES-HM76Z1FL. This year marks the 14th anniversary of Guangzhou IT week, and this year’s convention will feature the latest topics, such as smart city solutions, IoT, and cloud computing. Acrosser’s AES-HM76Z1FL is a mini PC (272mm × 183mm × 20mm) with unrivaled computing performance, and the in-vehicle computer is a perfect hardware solution for car applications.

Automechanika Frankfurt (September 16–20, 2014 in Frankfurt, Germany)

During this 5-day event, the Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA) will promote and display automotive products that have won the Taiwan Excellence Awards and the ITS/Telematics Top 100 Award. Acrosser’s fanless in-vehicle computers AR-V6100FL and AR-V6002FL will be greeting the audience at the TAITRA stand (located at Halle 4 Ebene 2 Stand J71). The Automechanika is an automotive trade fair held in 13 countries worldwide, and Acrosser’s in-vehicle computers are ready to win the hearts of visitors at this global event.
