Applied Data Systems wishes you a happy new year!
 

DIY versus Outsourcing

The choice between making ones own embedded system versus working with a partner such as Applied Data who specializes in embedded products is a complex discussion with benefits and tradeoffs to each. While on a simple level, the cost of a typical design can be broken up into discrete categories (design, introduction, maintenance, and end-of-life), the complexities are much more involved and encompass everything from tools, software, to employee knowledge base, none of which can be undervalued.

Applied Data understands this complexity and helps you with the make versus buy decision. Our expertise in the design and manufacturing of applications ready embedded systems means that we provide you with a full package, from the hardware, to the software including drivers, OS, and BIOS, to full support including EOL protection throughout the life of the product. In essence, Applied Data gives you a customized solution for the cost of design, with direct access to our engineers and knowledge-base. By taking advantage of our core competency, the embedded solution, you can focus on yours, the end-user application, knowing that you are getting the best low-cost, low-power solution in the market.

Bitsy G5 Product Update

Applied Data recently completed factory testing for the Bitsy G5, our popular Freescale i.MX31-based product with vector floating point. Initial results show significant performance improvement: with vector floating point enabled, algorithm execution time decreased by over 85%! We will also be offering this product with Win CE 6.0, which when coupled with vector floating point capabilities, makes it an embedded power-house! Contact us to order a development system and see the results for yourself!
