Companies developing embedded products face daily challenges to keep pace with continuously evolving consumer demands. Simple electronic devices are no longer simple. Consumers expect everything to work like a mobile phone, and data and how it is collected, stored and presented tends to define how consumers or industrial goods function. The visualization of that data is important as well, as is the ability to send that data from remote locations to make money, save money, or save time. While complexity of designs is increasing, the time allotted to bring new products to market is decreasing. Designers must change the way they approach development in order to stay relevant.
