Technological Developments in Artificial Intelligence Applications is Accelerating the Market Growth
Artificial intelligence has been at the top of the technological must-watch list for growing trends and applications in recent years. The potential for technological development across multiple domains is limitless given our capacity to develop advanced devices that replicate human intellect. Besides, there has been a significant transition from cloud-level to device-level processing of artificial intelligence activities, data, and outcomes, over the last several years. The adoption of artificial intelligence in rugged embedded systems is a part of this transition.
Many technological companies are focusing on research and development to incorporate artificial intelligence in their products to enhance their product offerings. For example, in January 2023, Syslogic, a leading tech company in the embedded industry and digitalization introduced three rugged computers, RPC RS A4NX, and RPC RML A4NX in two versions i.e. one with PoE and another with GMSL interface; based on the new Jetson Orin NX module for use in demanding environmental conditions. The Jetson Orin NX 16GB is equipped with 100 TOPS of AI computing power and 16GB of RAM. This enables a wide range of sensors, such as lidar, radar, and cameras, to be paired to embedded systems in order to execute complex computer vision applications.
Increasing Automation and Virtualisation is Encouraging the Expansion of Rugged Embedded Systems Market
The introduction of automation applications is transforming numerous industries ranging from manufacturing to the automotive industry. The rising adoption of embedded systems in automation applications is driving the market growth for rugged embedded systems. The ability of rugged embedded systems to enable devices to be small and fast-moving is increasing their demand in the market. Additionally, rugged embedded systems are able to withstand the environmental demands of industrial facilities in automation applications. Temperature extremes, vibration, and shock are all common in these conditions.
As a result, the majority of automation applications employ real-time embedded systems utilizing SLC, or single-level cell, flash memory. This, in turn, increases the demand for rugged embedded systems thus encouraging increased adoption of these systems. Furthermore, the increased need for multicore embedded systems encourages the adoption of virtualization technologies in embedded systems. Embedded systems can be connected directly to a virtual computer, provide direct access to system resources, provide robust security against cyber-attacks, and assist in providing support for different processors. Thus, the adoption of rugged embedded systems in virtualization and automation technologies is anticipated to propel the market growth over the forecast period.

The iPORT NTx-Deca embedded interface is now being used in X-ray flat panel detectors (FPDs) for medical, dental, and industrial applications, contact image sensors and high-performance machine vision cameras.
High Costs, Technical Limitations and Cyber Attacks Pose Threat to the Market Expansion
Even though rugged embedded systems are utilized to operate in extreme conditions, there are some constraints associated with these systems which are anticipated to impede the market growth. For instance, rugged embedded systems are expensive in comparison with regular desktops. This is due to the utilization of high-quality and expensive materials and components for the development of these systems. Additionally, rugged embedded systems cannot support a wide range of software applications since these systems possess limited power and memory. Furthermore, these systems are also a common target for cyber-attacks since hackers can access all the data processed, generated, and transmitted. All these factors are anticipated to negatively impact the adoption of rugged embedded systems.
Advantech Co., Ltd., Kontron AG, Curtiss-Wright Corporation, Siemens AG, Microsemi, Crystal Group Inc., Abaco Systems, Beckhoff, Systel, Inc., Syslogic are some of the prominent market players operating in the global rugged embedded system market.
