Energy efficiency of embedded PCs
Lower power consumption
Embedded PCs utilise energy-saving processors and special hardware components. These are often customised to specific tasks and therefore require less energy than conventional desktop PCs. Another advantage is that many of these systems are designed in such a way that they do not require active cooling, which further reduces power consumption. They also often have advanced power-saving modes that minimise energy consumption when the system is not fully utilised.
Efficient software
The software for embedded systems is specially optimised to work with minimal resources, which also contributes to energy efficiency. These PCs often run on real-time operating systems designed for successful and lag-free operation, which also saves energy.
Sustainability of embedded PCs
Durability and reliability
Embedded PCs are designed for use in harsh environments and have a longer service life than conventional PCs. This reduces the need for frequent replacement and the associated environmental impact. In addition, the long-term availability of components and spare parts is often guaranteed, which further extends the service life of the devices.
Reduced use of materials
Due to their compact design, embedded systems use fewer materials than conventional computers, which reduces the consumption of resources during production. Some of these systems are modular, making upgrades and repairs easier and reducing the need for complete system replacement.
Less electronic waste
The durability and robustness of embedded PCs help to reduce electronic waste. In addition, many of these systems are designed to be easier to recycle by containing fewer different materials and plastics.
Application scenarios
Embedded PCs are used in a wide range of applications. In industry and automation, they ensure advantageous control and monitoring of machines and processes, which can optimise the energy consumption of the entire system. In the area of the Internet of Things (IoT), embedded systems are used to create intelligent and energy-efficient solutions for households and buildings. PCs are also frequently used in a wide variety of vehicles, whether police or customs vehicles, in the development of autonomous driving or the evaluation of measurement data, cameras and sensors.
