The term embedded electronics is one of the latest buzzwords in the IT industry. However, even if you have never heard this term before, it has been around for over 50 years.
Over 50 years ago, they were all the range in the high-tech reality but they were very expensive so that only such companies as NASA could afford to use embedded systems on the Apollo missions.
However, time moves on and electronics and embedded systems have become more affordable as they come down in price. So far, such systems are used in a variety of areas – from the automotive sector where they are used for navigation to mobile technologies where embedded systems are installed in USB modules and cameras.
Thanks to the rapid technological progress, many development companies started implementing embedded systems. And today, we can’t imagine our life without these systems. So in this comprehensive post, we’ll take a deeper look at the hottest trends in embedded firmware development. It goes without saying that if you want to achieve success in this highly competitive niche, you have to follow the latest software development trends. Let’s get down to the main trends to follow in the upcoming year.
Seamless Integration of Embedded Systems and Mobile Apps
Enhancing UX in retail sector software leads to improved performance and fantastic graphics. Electronic projects are likely to be used in further improvement of point-of-sale terminals. And these tools simply can’t do without advanced accounting Bluetooth technology and marketing apps. This is where embedded systems can provide proper backend integration with online stores, sending the hottest notifications to the mobile devices of users.
Waxing of IoT and Wireless
It is expected that the IoT market will reach up to $1 trillion within the next five years. We can see that IoT is gradually penetrating into almost all spheres of modern life thanks to wireless technologies. So far, many smart-home gadgets depend on high-speed internet connections and this can surely leverage embedded systems.
Healthcare Breakthroughs
The COVID pandemic changed the world we live in and brought medical apps based on embedded systems to the limelight. It goes without saying that this industry has the potential for implementing embedded solutions in various sensors, ventilators, or home gadgets to monitor the state of health. Overall, even the healthcare industry simply can’t do without embedded systems.
Artificial Intelligence
Mechanisms built by humans are getting smarter as they are equipped with AI. When following this trend, embedded systems are getting under the control of artificial intelligence power and machine learning. And this drive allows producing an array of smart devices, ranging from traditional wearables to complex blockchain technologies.
Electric Cars Production
Embedded systems are an inseparable part of different elements of cars including safety mechanisms, fuel control, engine control units, etc. Simply put, modern vehicles are contingent on embedded systems. They can’t do without embedded electronics systems as they make them more autonomous.
Overall, we can see that during the last 50 years, embedded appliances have already become a part of our life. And the future trends in this technology are very diverse and extremely promising. It doesn’t matter whether you are on demand or supply side, it’s of utmost importance for you to understand what is going to drive this industry in the future. All these trends will surely open a new chapter in the history of embedded software.
