Growing demand for real-time data processing and analysis

Today's world has become very fast paced and dynamic in nature. With each passing second, there is a massive amount of data that is being generated from various sources across industries and domains. This data holds tremendous value and insights that organizations want to leverage for decision making, optimization of processes, gaining competitive advantage and much more. However, to unlock the true potential of data, it is important that the data collected is processed and analyzed in real-time as fast as possible.

With the proliferation of IoT devices, connected machines and sensors, the ability to collect and generate data in real-time has increased manifold over the past few years. Be it manufacturing plants that want to monitor production lines and assembly processes, autonomous vehicles that need real-time situational awareness, health monitors that analyze vital body signals, entertainment devices that recognize user inputs instantaneously or smart cities installed with various monitoring systems - they all rely on real-time data insights. However, traditional systems and architectures lacked the capability for low-latency, fast response times required for mission critical and time-sensitive applications. Embedded systems with their compact size and high-performance processors have emerged as the ideal solution to tackle such challenges.

Rising trend of miniaturization and power efficiency in electronic devices

With growing affordability and accessibility, consumer electronics have become ubiquitous in today's world. Be it smartphones, wearables, smart home devices, appliances or entertainment systems - electronics are increasingly becoming integrated into daily lives. However, the continuous rise in the level of integration, functionality, and performance poses design challenges for original equipment manufacturers. There is constant pressure to pack more features into smaller footprints while also optimizing for longer battery lives. At the same time, users also expect sleeker, more portable devices without comprising on functionality. This has accelerated the trend of reduction in form factor and power consumption across consumer electronics.

Embedded systems have played a pivotal role in enabling miniaturization through their small size, low-power processor technologies and ability to custom design for specific applications. Original design manufacturers find embedded solutions that tightly integrate various components like sensors, connectivity, memory, processing, etc. into tiny packages. This has allowed the industry to build innovative devices like hearables, smartwatches, advanced digital cameras, miniature medical devices, and others. Ongoing advancements in semiconductor manufacturing processes are further driving the ability to develop even smaller and more powerful embedded boards, system on chips and modules. Their tight integration helps consolidate functionalities into minimum possible footprints.
