From WinSystems, Inc.
All embedded PCs are not created equal. Each has been designed for a specific application. And just because a manufacturer adds a bullet on their data sheet stating that the product can be used for industrial applications, does not mean that it is necessarily so. Selecting a standard, off-the-shelf board from the wide variety of products on the market requires forethought and screening to match your application requirements.
A successful product selection is a balanced combination of hardware, software and the vendor. You can visualize this concept like a 3-legged stool with one leg as the hardware component, the next as the software component, and the last as the supplier. If any one of these legs come up short, then the project could tip and fall. This manifests itself as missed project deadlines, late product introduction, poor technical support, late deliveries, cost overruns, and other nonplanned surprises.
