Remember the Innovator's Dilema (I've finally gotten the book and am part way through it)? It points out that entrenched companies that are at the top of the game, and well managed are the ones that get creamed by disruptive technology evolution. I think that Embedlets have the opportunity to be just such a disruptive technology in the embedded systems arena. And typical solutions based on disruptive technologies target lower margin and more limited, emerging markets that are not profitable enough for the entrenched companies to go after. That leads me to believe that this is where you should look for possible areas of application of Embedlets in the PLC field.....low margin, emerging market requirements. Not being an expert in PLC's I don't know where that might be...but it might cause you to rethink where to look at least. ...Andrzej Chaeron Corporation http://www.chaeron.com |
