Embedded Computers are a special-purpose computer system designed to perform one or a few dedicated functions, often with real-time computing limitations. It is usually embedded as part of a complete device including hardware and mechanical parts. Since the embedded system is dedicated to specific tasks, design engineers can optimize it, reducing the size and cost of the product, or increasing the reliability and performance. Some embedded systems are mass-produced, benefiting from economies of scale. With this they are partnered with an Industrial Computer to provide efficiency and accuracy to make data processing faster in large companies with large databases.
On the other Embedded Computers are as well used with RFID Readers to instantly retrieve specific data and information. Embedded Computer Systems are has wide range starting from portable devices likeĀ digital watches and MP3 players, to large stationary installations like traffic lights, factory controllers, or the systems controlling nuclear power plants. Complexity varies from low, with a single microcontroller chip, to very high with multiple units, peripherals and networks mounted inside a large chassis or enclosure.
