Products with imbedded software are those that are controlled or operated by computer software. Though not entirely, at least some or most functions of the product are controlled by computer software. Some of the most common examples of products with embedded software are cars, robots, toys, consumer electronics, household appliances, medical devices, industrial machines, and military equipment. While these were just a handful of examples, products with imbedded software could include numerous other things.
Development of products with imbedded software can fall under the field of electromechanical product development. After all, products with imbedded software do contain electrical and mechanical components. Speaking of electromechanical product development, it is nothing but the design and development of products containing mechanical and electrical components or parts. Along with electrical and mechanical components, products with imbedded software, as the name suggests, contain a computing element or elements. Computing elements here, i.e., the imbedded software, or you can also call it firmware, predominantly control some or most aspects of a product.
For instance, an MRI machine (magnetic resonance imaging, a medical device product with imbedded software or firmware) scans the body only when the instructions are set and given. These instructions are carried out through an imbedded software. The MRI machine will only operate when the instructions are inserted and computed within the imbedded software. Without passing through an imbedded software, this MRI machine will not perform anything and prove entirely useless.
These days, most new products have imbedded software. The design and development of new products with imbedded software, however, is very challenging. Along with mechanical engineering and electrical engineering, the development of products with imbedded software requires additional skills of computer programming. While programming a software that runs on computers or the web may be simple, programming software that can communicate and control something physical is tough. It requires chip-level programming skills and deep understanding in how the software can link and work in harmony with a hardware or physical component. Fortunately, there are some product design and product development companies that have all the skills and resources that help realize or materialize new products with embedded software.
Along with product designers, product engineers, and innovators who deal with new product design, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, and general engineering, these product design and product development companies have expert software engineers on board who have in-depth skills in software programming and the ability to develop firmware that can perform computation and communication with a physical product.
Not only generic products with imbedded software, but utilizing their collaborative skills, these product design and development companies can create medical device products with imbedded software, aviation equipment with imbedded software, consumer products with electronics and imbedded software, industrial machines with imbedded software, and pretty much any unique products requiring imbedded software to function.
