Rewriting the OEM value proposition: The module approach to programmable hardware

In the fast-moving world of edge computing, the benefits of flexible hardware are manifold. When OEMs and system integrators can customize and repurpose existing designs, they gain major advantages in terms of development time and cost – as well as the ability to enter new markets.   Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) have long delivered in […]

Finding the Sweet Spot: How OEMs Can Achieve Product Differentiation with Off-the-Shelf Modules

In the fast-paced world of embedded systems, OEMs and system integrators face a seemingly binary choice: speed to market vs. differentiation. Off-the-shelf embedded computing products are a quick and easy answer but can leave customers unimpressed. Custom designs can satisfy unique requirements but can be slow to develop and costly to build.   Fortunately, there’s a […]

How an adaptable IoT infrastructure accelerates deployment of OEM solutions

OEMs and systems integrators deploying Internet of Things (IoT) infrastructure face a delicate balancing act. On one hand, customers want sophisticated, scalable, and highly differentiated solutions that provide a competitive edge. On the other hand, they want to minimize investment and avoid becoming dependent on a single vendor.   Threading this needle is increasingly the […]
