Car computer is one that is fast-growing emerging markets, particularly in the automotive logistics management, vehicle computers will no doubt become a trend because of the commercial and public vehicles (trucks, trailers, police cars, fire engines, ambulances, tub, tank, etc.) need efficient fleet management, in order to send the team to achieve better energy saving and efficiency improvement.
At the same time, the computer also contains a considerable market risk, mainly based on the value chain in different roles and different. But different orientation are concerned about some of the same issues, such as: how to design and manufacture of high stability in the onboard computer and so on.
It is noteworthy that most of the existing installed after market car computer makers have generally come from IT companies or industrial computer manufacturers, most do not have high-quality automobile industry background. Lin Weizuo stressed the need to design and manufacture of a truly suitable for use in the car environment, the computer must be more consideration to the highly unstable vehicle battery power, vibration, impact problems, wide operating temperature problems, wide storage temperature, as well as highly integrated wireless communication module technology, etc., to overcome the above problem is not a single hard, but not easy to solve all the problems. Moreover, the auto industry also need to supply a long warranty period and these are challenges.
So, which operating system is more suitable for specific car computer market? Is a Windows, Linux, Android or other real-time operating system? For this problem, Advantech Service Application Business Group Linwei Zuo said: "In the near term, Windows and Linux have their own good, the choice of major system integrators rely on the familiarity. To pure car computer after installation demands, the majority of application does not require high real-time, so Windows still has the easy integration / trade development advantage. but medium to long term, Android cloud computing technology combined with (CloudComputing) shall be the main vehicle computer trends. "
As IPC (Industrial PC) industry, the founders, Advantech to focus on industrial grade computer for many years, has accumulated a lot of experience in automotive computer ODM projects. Lin Weizuo introduced Road, compared to other similar products, Advantech's Car PC solution also has many "unique offerings stunt." Advantech's standard product followed the car computer Advantech industrial computer experience, years of designing and manufacturing a "variety of auto grade computing solutions." The key components, the Advantech are using industrial / automotive grade components to ensure quality stability. Therefore, the choice of the x86 processor, Advantech industrial grade low-power Intel Atom (Z510PT/Z530PT).
RISC processor in the choice of another, Advantech used vehicle market, specifically designed to STCartesio application processor STA2062.
Product performance, Lin Weizuo said, Advantech developed manufacturing system complies fully with the regular vehicle products, and meets TS/ISO16949 certification. Thus, while Advantech solely on the aftermarket, but Advantech's products are designed and manufactured to meet the major depot for the strict quality requirements.
Currently, 3G operators are actively promoting the three-screen integration, as the following mobile phone, PC and TV after the fourth screen, car computers 3G integration concern. Lin Weizuo that the hardware specifications on the car computer is unique, mainly in the hardware must be able to long-term stability in the automotive work environment. Especially for commercial / public / military vehicles, "four-screen integration" has some difficulty, after all, and the other three screens in the main application features and user expectations both mutually exclusive terms.
Car sales in 2009, China surpassed the United States, became the first major consumer, also indicates that the demand for vehicles in China will be diversified. Advantech product manager Michael Mr Au said that based on in-vehicle information, follow the wisdom of the Earth made IBM intellectual property network traffic and the latest concept of the concept of the popular, all instructions intelligent transportation, information of the most important point is that intelligent vehicles , and information.
Mak Wen Hao stressed that the Chinese enterprises, "Made in China" is a development path, in-car computer market, it is necessary in order to more innovation to adapt and meet customer demand. From the OEM point of view, the simple model alone will eventually become low-margin products in the Red Sea market; only the core technologies, patented technology can have sheng enterprise competitiveness.
This, Jimmy Mr Au proposed attention to the market from several aspects: first, market segments, focusing for different purposes, different environments, under different management needs of vehicle computer platform; Second, understand the vehicle characteristics in order to more good to match the performance of computer products; third, the driver, vehicle management, vehicle use of the company or the industry will require the help of 3GRFID, GISGPS. "OEM enterprises should be able to create the right product for the product rather than to the product." Mai Wen Hao said.
Present, the information technology revolution is driving the rapid development of the automotive industry, both in the United States, Europe, Japan and even China, the auto manufacturers are all smart car into one of the main attack into the market. "Automobile manufacturers with the cooperation of IT companies are entering the golden age." Mak Mr Au said that the vehicle intelligent information technology development is inseparable from "Car PC terminal" development and improvement, car computer terminal is playing "the remote information processing system" The role of the electronic industry and automobile industry development will promote the further expansion board computer function. This will meet the needs of the people on board, while further enhancing the car grade.
