KUKA Controls' CeWin real-time extension technology combines, on a single PC platform, the widely recognized graphical interface and integrated development environment (IDE) of Windows XP with the hard, real-time functionality of Windows CE. No modifications are made to either operating system, allowing developers to take advantage of existing code.
The U-Scan Shopper is a self-contained computer permanently mounted to a shopping cart. The unit is sealed in a polycarbonate cover and ruggedized to withstand weather, temperature, and physical abuse. The system, which runs on an Intel PXA-270 microprocessor, incorporates Infrared receivers, audio, bar code scanning, motion-sensor power control, and 802.11g WiFi connectivity for communication with backend servers that house up-to-the-minute product pricing and other critical data.
INtime software combines deterministic, hard real-time control with Windows XP Embedded without requiring additional hardware. INtime was designed specifically to take advantage of the powerful capabilities of the x86 processor architecture. Real-time and non-real-time applications run in separate virtual machines on a single computer, for cost-effective, reliable control that is easy to develop and maintain.
The Computer Numerical Controller (CNC) is a custom-designed embedded computer based on Intel Pentium-4 microprocessor offering operator console features, push-button controls, and a touch screen interface.
In a single package, the DL.2 Digital Light combines a three LCD-panel light engine with an integrated media server and preloaded content, industrial camera, on-board infrared emitter, and full-color SVGA preview screen. The entire system is reliably controlled by Windows XP Embedded, giving lighting directors the ability to realize their visions in real time.
What's smaller than a construction worker's lunchbox, and yet prevents 90-ton cranes from toppling over? The answer is Greer's MicroGuard 540, a tablet-size Windows CE device that allows an operator to visually monitor the danger of overloading or overextending a construction crane.
Imagine there's a suspicious package in a public square. Now imagine that in the time it takes a human to crawl into a protective suit—a suit that may not protect him from the hazardous chemicals anyway—a robot could roll up to the package, sample the substance and determine what it is.
