Industrial Embedded System Applications

Manufacturing and industrial environments were among the first to leverage embedded system designs. Tier One personnel have provided design and engineering management services to some of the most recognized brands in this sector.

Mondern, Compatible, and Reliable

For some of the design projects in this sector, our expertise has been very helpful in the adoption of cutting-edge electronics and software technologies for use in traditional applications. These have included the world's first Windows CE based industrial automation operator terminal and the world's first gasoline dispensers to offer a variety of modern capabilities, including:.

32-bit and SoC microprocessors
Digital full-motion video user interfaces
Ethernet and IP connectivity
USB interfaces to core peripherals

These implementations maintained the highest levels of reliability and backwards compatibility to existing systems, including networks and peripheral interconnects based on current loop, RS485, and RS232.

Severe Environments

Embedded systems used for industrial applications have all of the uptime and supply chain requirements of commercial systems. They also carry the added challenges of severe-service environmental conditions and safety issues. Temperature and humidity extremes, corrosive substances, explosive vapors, and other factors combine to create very stringent design constraints.

Tier One has met the challenges imposed by these constraints repeatedly, helping customers to develop product meeting all regulatory requirements and suitable for global shipment.
