- 2. Custom versus CommercialEmbedded Systems Custom or Commercial Controllers? Examples of Commercial Controllers PLC, Motion Controllers, SCADA systems, PID
- 3. Custom versus CommercialEmbedded system -Debate Commercial Custom Fast Time to Market More features less price Hitting the price point Development & Testing can be difficult can take time Flexible to plug in Proprietary and good for accessories after sales Not optimized for price Need a good team for and size handling after sales Already tested and field Custom Fit Solution proven solution Need the specifications to Unique feature set not be well planned during possible design
- 4. Who should gofor custom developed controllers? Who should go for custom development? Driven by Design Driven by Price Requirement Point
- 5. Custom Development DrivenBy Design Requirement The available hardware is Machine requires not a custom fit. To make special algorithms a machine that needs a which cannot controller and a set of be implemented accessories will in normal hardware increase space required in control panel and cost Unique feature set cannot be offered by other hardware Certain machines require special Approvals and Certifications
- 6. Custom Development DrivenBy Price Point Hit the right Great After Sales price point Market Unique feature set can be justified only if custom hardware is developed

- 8. Development activities resources Developmentcan get very resource intensive. There are various people/agencies that can be involved in the process of developing products. Freelance Developer Vendors Parent Company Specify controller Spec R&D companies Design and Prototype University In house testing Collaborations Certification & Approval
- 9. Different ways tomanage development Different companies manage development activities in different ways. This is based on the company strategy, development complexity, investment criteria, technology involved and resources available. Complete Core Licensing Working with technology core partner for Complete in-house in-house & technology, development development development vendors for only of is doneby and supporting integration core modules a partner integration technology in-house and features More Less Development Development in-house in-house
- 10. Choosing the rightdesign partner Expertise to develop the technology within the discussed time frame. Preferably companies with matured Intellectual Property or field proven products give a clear demonstration of their ability to handle the development activity. Familiarity with the fine design elements like processor, algorithms, timing, sensor interfacing, control elements, alerting mechanism, etc Having the domain expertise in-house or guided by experts from the machine builder or advisor. Ability to integrate the custom hardware into the machine and working with the debug/engineering/quality team in house to address run time issues. Inclination to update and maintain embedded hardware and software subsequent releases. High Integrity on non-disclosure agreements.
