Overcoming cost challenges in embedded systems design
Embedded systems design plays a crucial role in powering a wide range of devices, but it often comes with significant cost challenges.
From separate microcontrollers to certification expenses, these costs can impede the development and profitability of projects.
By?optimizing?the?Bill of Materials (BOM)?and?providing?cost-saving features, Move-X empowers designers to create cost-effective embedded systems without compromising on quality.?
1. BOM optimization
A?major cost driver in embedded systems design is the Bill of Materials (BOM), which includes all the components?required?for the project. Move-X addresses this challenge by integrating an onboard microcontroller into their LoRa radio modules. This?eliminates?the need for a separate microcontroller in the BOM, resulting in significant cost savings without sacrificing functionality.?
2. Pre-certification
Certification costs can quickly add up in embedded systems design. Move-X’s LoRa radio modules are pre-certified with CE and FCC/IC standards. By?leveraging?these certifications, designers can avoid costly and time-consuming certification processes for their final products. This not only reduces expenses but also accelerates time to market,?providing?a competitive advantage.?
