Hardware is the largest component in global industrial embedded systems market and occupies a share of around 90% in the overall market.
Technavio’s automation portfolio has announced its latest market research report on industrial embedded systems for the forecast period, 2016-2020. This market analysis discusses the major drivers and key emerging trends that will influence the growth of the global industrial embedded systems market during the forecast period. Some of the top vendors listed in this industry analysis include Atmel Intel, National Instruments, Infineon Technologies.
Among various geographical regions, APAC will be the fastest-growing region in the global market, and will contribute revenues of around $18 billion by 2020. Much of the region’s high growth is due to the growing number of Greenfield projects and the shift from legacy systems and machinery to modern technology and equipment.
“Vendors like National Instruments, have devised dual core and quad core industrial embedded system processors, which can run at speeds of 1.3 GHz and 2.2 GHz respectively. These multicore industrial embedded systems are used extensively in numerous industrial applications such as oil and gas monitoring, turbine control, machine condition monitoring, and robotics,” says Bharath Kanniappan, a lead analyst at Technavio for research on automation.

This new industry research report from Technavio analyzes some of the key drivers and trends responsible for the growth of this market and its sub-segments.
Increased emphasis on energy efficiency in industries
Technavio estimates that more than 7% of the global energy demand can be reduced by improving industrial motor energy efficiency. The ISO 9000/14000 is an international energy and quality management system that stresses on the use of specialized systems to ensure energy efficiency in the operation of motors, compressors, and pumps. The industrial embedded systems can be easily enhanced to reduce power consumption by using specialized microprocessors and low-power modes such as idle modes and power save modes. Idle modes and power save modes keep only the main part of the microprocessor operational and shut down the other parts, which are not functioning at that moment, resulting in significant amount power savings. The compressors, industrial motors, and pumps that are controlled by industrial embedded systems are much more power efficient.
Increased prominence of embedded software
To survive the intense competition in the market, vendors are compelled to differentiate and customize their products. The advent of advanced human-machine interfaces, real-time data acquisition, cloud computing, and smart sensors are imposing higher technical demands on industrial embedded systems. Simultaneously, there is a shift from hardware-centric models to software-driven industrial embedded systems. A software-based approach allows a distinct advantage over differentiation and functioning, decreases overall development time, and achieves a significant dip in overall expenditure. Software-based systems can easily integrate with EtherCAT and other network systems and ease the addition of multiple motion axes in an industrial robot, while the additional wireless-based software options reduce footprint and cabling costs. Such increased adoption of software embedded systems will be a significant factor in the growth of industrial embedded systems market during the forecast period.
Advances in industrial embedded vision systems
At present, most manufacturing industries have extensively adopted industrial robots for functions such as machine tending, welding, painting, bottling, pick and place, storage, and packaging in their assembly line. An ideal industrial robot is the one that easily interacts with the moving objects in their environment by adapting quickly to the changes in environment. There is an increased adoption of advanced embedded systems with cost-effective sensors, which can assess depth using 3D vision systems and can easily integrate with robot software algorithms. Processors such as FPGAs are used in these industrial embedded systems to coordinate vision inputs and outputs. Due to these new embedded systems, the industrial robots can adjust to any variable orientation of the incoming object in the assembly line. The augmented vision via industrial embedded systems enables industrial robots to spot damaged goods during inspection. Industrial embedded systems enable rapid quality checks real-time, and automatic inventory tracking and record of quality product details, which improves quality control to 100% and prevents losses by early detection. Apart from this, vision-based industrial embedded systems also increase the safety standards of the workplace by preventing any accidents during robot-human interactions.
