Visionary Leaders

“The industrial machine builder can now provide intelligent maintenance, using connections not only to industrial PCs but even to small intelligent panels. Intel® architecture to programmable logic controllers gives us more flexibility to set up, diagnose and remotely manage industrial automation systems.”

“In a world of 15 billion embedded devices, a good many will alert us to human safety issues. Cameras and sensors connected to multi-core processors will 'see' and warn us of the dangers we're not aware of. It could be worn-out tires on our car or a key component in an escalator that needs immediate attention.”

“Renewable, clean energy is vital to our survival as a living planet. As our reliance on wind, solar panels and other renewable sources grows, so will our reliance on the rugged connected embedded systems that monitor their operation. Connecting alternative energy sources to the smart grids of the future will double their value.”

“Brick-and-mortar retailers will continue to lose customers to online retailers unless they bring the rich, interactive shopping experiences found online into the store. Stores that use the Embedded Internet to seamlessly blend e-commerce and real store experiences into a superior shopping experience are the future of shopping.”

“As more of the world's critical infrastructure becomes connected, more customers will need equipment and applications that are designed not to fail. In a universe of 15 billion devices, the importance of a track record in reliable, high availability embedded products based on the most recent processor technology will continue to grow.”

“Most biomedical sensors are proprietary solutions. Our proof of concept is a platform based on leading edge embedded and virtualization technologies.”

“Our platform is designed to enable a personal wireless biomedical network with a secure common architecture. Such a system could enable manufacturers to address stringent industry requirements more quickly and shorten time to market.”

“Standards-based embedded systems are transforming even the entertainment world. Now film producers can digitally shoot at cinema resolutions and wirelessly transmit to an editing station. 'Slumdog Millionaire' was the first predominantly digitally shot feature film to win Oscars for Best Picture and Best Cinematography. The Embedded Internet makes it possible to see if you truly have the shot in the can.”

“Intel's processing power and our general-purpose robot technology provide the ideal platform for developing autonomous, personalized robots. Our customers can fully brand their robots by assigning individual behaviors, designing unique outer shells, integrating back-end software and developing personalized services—a leap ahead for robotics.”

“The ability to scale-down power, while improving performance, in the latest generation of embedded Intel® processors is very exciting to us.

“This is Moore’s Law in action. We are scaling our LabVIEW* graphical development technology to more wireless devices and more distributed applications while running the same software.”

“When a machine performs more control cycles per second, it produces more parts and uses less power. That makes it a very ecological and efficient solution. Intel® architecture is the highest performing chip technology available today, so we can use CPU speed to deliver smarter and faster control, more efficient process technology and save energy at the same time.”

“We share a vision with Intel - the combination of powerful processors and radio access in new devices will change our lives.

“We will live in a world where all things will communicate. The use of high performance processors in combination with radio modules will stimulate the development of new usage models with the power to change the way we live.”

“The WAND Digital Restaurant is revolutionizing the Quick Service Restaurant industry, connecting merchandising and operations in real time via the embedded Internet.

“Our web-based solution controls images, prices, display configuration and recipes simultaneously on inside/outside digital menu boards and POS terminals actively monitored using Intel® Active Management Technology.”

“Now you have the Internet everywhere, and POS is becoming more about point of service than point of sale, providing touch-points inside the retail store for services from warranty up-sell to banking. IBM is working with Intel on many technology fronts.”

“For recreational gaming it's mathematical depth. For entertainment gaming it's home theater quality media. For social gaming people are looking for the WOW factor. Intel technologies help us deliver.”

“We see point-of-service as an integrated multichannel touchpoint to consumers that creates an always-on, anytime, anywhere shopping environment. To deliver, we require a platform that does not constrain our vision.”

“Retailers are getting involved with the Internet, not only with kiosks, but also with cell phones that can automatically download sale information from a shopping center, deliver location based services, let people interact with vending machines and pay for purchases.

“Open source software will bring any Web application we can imagine to reality on embedded devices.”

“The media phone puts you one click away from social networking, calendars, video, news, weather and more. Providers can roll out new services faster than ever before. Intel® architecture lets us develop new applications more quickly than any other platform.”

“There is huge sales uplift potential for retailers who can capture lost opportunities and tap into the majority of shoppers who walk out of stores without buying anything. This is achievable with intelligent, connected retail systems that turn unfulfilled shoppers into paying customers by helping them find, review and purchase the right products.”

“The experiences consumers have in their cars need to be connected to what they have outside the car.

“If you have net books and MIDs affecting the pace of development in the consumer space, and you share the genetics of these devices in your vehicle solution, you stand a far greater chance of keeping up with what goes on in the consumer environment.”
