Overview of Industrial Applications


Embedded systems play a crucial role in industrial applications, driving automation, efficiency, and reliability across various sectors. These specialized computing systems are integral to programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems, which automate and monitor industrial processes. In robotics, embedded systems control robotic arms and automated guided vehicles (AGVs), enhancing precision and productivity on assembly lines and in material handling.

They are essential for predictive maintenance, using condition monitoring and smart sensors to predict equipment failures and schedule timely maintenance, thus reducing downtime. Embedded systems also optimize energy management in smart grids and industrial power management, leading to significant energy savings. In process control, they maintain optimal conditions in chemical processing and ensure consistent quality in food and beverage production. Safety and security systems rely on embedded systems for emergency shutdowns and access control, while telecommunications and networking in industrial IoT (IIoT) applications facilitate seamless communication between devices.
