PC/104, a major standard in the embedded market, is playing a crucial role in industrial system upgrades that usually require five to 10 times more performance than traditional PC/104 systems. At the same time, these system upgrades demand compact PC/104-size footprints while simultaneously aiming to lower power consumption. The PC/104 form factor’s unique stackable architecture ideally fits into the quickly changing industrial and embedded landscape where we see an exponential rise in the number of sensors and cameras in heavy trucks, forklifts, and industrial robots, especially in applications that mandate rapid prototyping, development, and uptime.
