The best uses of Embedded Systems to the maximum result out of it

Embedded Systems

 

You can find endless uses for

Embedded Systems in consumer products, with new methods of exploiting them presented every year at such industry events as the MEDC and the Embedded Systems Conference. The most obvious beneficiaries are those enterprises concerned with the manufacture and sale of electrical devices, as the inclusion of microcontrollers to replace general purpose microprocessors can drive down unit manufacturing costs and end user prices dramatically, resulting in increased sales and an improved profit margin.

The use of Embedded Systems in electrical products can also solve numerous problems of complexity and product or service size. For example, a modern automobile may well contain dozens of embedded systems to control a wide range of processes within the car, ranging from brake balance management to air conditioning to the ignition system. Without Embedded Systems it would be impossible to computerise all of these features without the inclusion of a mass of complicated, fault prone electronics.

 

While this may be feasible it would raise several issues:

 

* Size & Weight: Microcontrollers are designed to deliver maximum overall performance for minimum size and weight. A centralised on-board laptop or computer system would greatly outweigh a collection of microcontrollers.

 

* Efficiency: Microcontrollers are designed to perform repeated functions for long periods of time without failing or requiring service. Other personal computer systems are prone to computer software and hardware failure as very well as a whole host of other problems recognisable to the users of any home laptop or computer. Above all other considerations, computer systems must be 100% reliable when trusted to handle such functions

 

The only realistic alternative to using Embedded Systems in a modern automobile would be to install a fully functional Computer system within the car to manage all of your functions currently managed by microcontrollers.
