Manufacturer Chooses Embedded Operating System for Rugged Next-Generation Device

View SummaryView Summary  Go to full case studyGo to full case study

Based in Germany, manufacturer ads-tec wanted to replace its rugged Tablet device with a next-generation networked indestructible product suitable for all weathers. After a two-year evaluation from 40,000 users of its previous device, ads-tec worked with Microsoft® Authorised Embedded Distributor and Windows® Embedded Partner Elbacom and developed its TT13 Tablet using Windows Vista® Ultimate for Embedded Systems. The choice of operating system resulted from consultation with dozens of users at industrial fairs. They compared a Tablet device running Windows Vista Embedded with a similar product on Linux software. Windows Vista was rated more user friendly than Linux by a users’ test group and ads-tec developers. Due to ongoing support from Elbacom, ads-tec enjoyed fast time to market with its new device, which is also available with Windows® XP Professional for Embedded Systems.
