In today’s digital world, customer needs and product demands keep changing rapidly, which pushes industries to develop smarter and more capable products. To keep up, manufacturers sometimes need to upgrade the hardware that runs their existing products. Let’s understand it with the help of a case.
Manufacturing plants generates immense amount of data through PLCs, SCADA systems, Historians, MES platforms, Sensors, and CMMS or other systems. This generated data helps engineers and floor managers to assess machines, track their productions, and understand what is happening on the floor.
Suppose you are creating an embedded application and later need to alter certain sections of the firmware because there has been a change either to the processor or to a peripheral. Although the application logic could stay unchanged, the method in which the software accesses the hardware might be different from one platform to another.
In recent times, the automotive industry has been rapidly shifting from hardware-defined vehicles to software-defined vehicles (SDVs). In the past, vehicle improvement was referred as changing in hardware, electronic control unit (ECU) upgrade, or adding any new mechanical parts. But many vehicle functions were closely integrated with hardware, even if small change requires proper engineering approach.
