How Siemens Uses Mobile Embedded Intel Processors to Help Customers Avoid Downtime

Tags:
embedded microprocessors

Overview Downtime equals catastrophe in a highly automated factory environment; so Siemens' customers demand high availability on the system platform. Operating around the clock, automated systems must deliver very high performance, even when subjected to higher ambient temperature, shock/vibration, dirt/dust, and space constraints - common in industrial settings. Siemens' latest box and panel PCs meet all of these demands via the high performance/low-power features of the embedded Intel Pentium M processor 760 at 2GHz and the Intel 915GM chipset. Designed to support automation tasks that process high volumes of data, the SIMATIC Box PC 627 and SIMATIC Panel PC 677 are optimized for stability and reliability in harsh industrial settings.
