Industry trends 2020

The importance of edge computing is growing. Concepts from the cloud and data center area, such as modular software in containers and SDN, are increasingly growing into the area of traditional embedded systems, making products even more flexible and secure. Research and development in Kontron's labs already show several proofs of concept that provide stable solutions for long-existing issues regarding remote software updates, continuous monitoring, dynamic network architecture and zero touch deployment. In addition, AI applications will in the future be able to be integrated even more quickly into computer-controlled machines and processes, for which Kontron supplies the corresponding hardware and services.
