Industrial Embedded Systems provides a refreshing viewpoint on the new, intelligent embedded technologies driving the transformation of industrial automation. Its website, Product Directory, e-letters and print issues provide an always-on resource of industry viewpoints to over 12,000 engineers, managers and decision makers.

No single publication covered an industrial view of intelligent devices in computing, human interface, networks, sensors/control and storage as a combined set of technologies - until Industrial Embedded Systems arrived.

We look for highly innovative products and services that are helping create new best-practices and make significant shifts in how things get done – in manufacturing, in retail, in entertainment and transportation, anywhere automation applies. Every issue features technology and application topics along with a new product guide section.
