What is Impacting the Current Electronic Product Development?
Embedded Advisor | Wednesday, June 24, 2020
Much is happening in the electronic design sector. In fact, the electronic industry has been the one to incorporate the latest changes on a constant basis.
Fremont, CA: Electronic design enterprises continue to implement various strategies to meet the requirements of the consumer and become a market leader.
Electronics features among the most dynamic sectors today. A few years ago, many of the currently available electronic products were a distant dream. There is fierce competition among big players in the sector to launch innovative products into the market and gain market share. Also, the industry is closely following emerging trends as an attempt to meet the ever-increasing consumer demands and remain at the forefront of the ongoing technological evolution.
The demand for anywhere and everywhere services is prominent in the U.S electronic industry. To explain, a person living in remote locations is trying to contact someone in an emergency situation. It is now an easy task with the correct GPS coordinates. It would be wrong to say that this technology is entirely new. However, what makes it an important trend in the present times is its integration with the Internet Of Things. Also, there is technological assistance, as well.
The following trends have become highly significant for the current electronic design and solutions industry. Some of these trends are poised to have a future-oriented impact as well.
Wearables
The technological advancements taking place in the wearable electronics continue to enable the users to avail high-end characteristics and features. From the initial wearable calculator watches to smartwatches, wearable technology continues to dominate the electronic sector.
Smartwatches and phones have already made a considerable impact on the electronic sector. In fact, many a time, smartwatches can do several tasks, which even a smartphone is unable to do. It is also possible to integrate commonly used electronic equipment such as refrigerator, music system, or even television into these devices. Although, this possibility is still in its nascent stages, high-level research is taking place to arrive at the best way to do such integration.
Smart Homes
It is not necessary to specify that IoT is already making a huge impact on our lives. In fact, a major part of our day-to-day activities utilizes IoT in different ways.
The recent years have witnessed a never-before increase with respect to home automation. The digital revolution, driven by the emergence of IoT, has paved the way for an innovative phase. Enterprises belonging to the home automation industry continue to offer its customers improved and high-end smart-home technologies. This has been instrumental in enabling a totally interconnected, easy-to-manage smart-home environments. Smart-homes is both a present and future-oriented trend with respect to the electronic industry.
Smart Manufacturing
It is not only homes that have been influenced by IoT. The current manufacturing industry is also implementing them. What has been driving the manufacturing sector are trends like cloud infrastructure, rugged mobility devices, and sensory devices. In the automobile industry, automatic assembling is already taking place in some of the manufacturing units.
OLED’s
About a decade ago, OLEDs were far away from becoming an integral part of the home entertainment industry. Consumers were looking for a change from large televisions. It was at that time that LCD TVs became much popular. In the rapidly advancing field, LCD TVs were also becoming outdated. The demand for something new continued to prevail. OLED was viewed as the answer to this demand.
OLEDs are surely different from its earlier versions, or the other types of panels which have made its presence into homes way before it. However, both OLED TVs and its predecessors bring forward videos and images to life for the TV viewer. OLEDs are self-illuminating as it has organic material and doesn’t require any backlight to impart maximum visibility across all environments.
OLED TVs are even lighter and extend better picture quality and impressive response time and power efficiency. The interest in OLEDs continues to prevail and is expected to persist. OLEDs are the next big electronics trend in the home entertainment sector. However, they are highly-priced and not affordable to all.
