Energy Overview

The Energy Sector has come to rely on embedded SBC systems to serve their small to medium volume computation and control node needs. Energy Infrastructure represents a long-run cyclical upgrade market that benefits greatly from carrying their application investment across multiple generations of hardware.

ADL Embedded Solutions offers a tantalizing mix of legacy hardware and software support with thoughtful migration to future hardware thus enhancing economic advantages that are the result of leveraged development.

Energy: Key SBC Features

Design flexibility is expanded through vast ecosystem of CPU and peripheral I/O building blocks to allow optimal balance of features, intelligence, and power.

Broad portfolio of Intel-based CPU’s  enable Intelligent system controllers for execution algorithms, analytics and better local-decision making for reduced downtime and increase productivity.

Strong foundation in CPU board design, system design and supporting firmware makes for reliable, robust intelligent controllers and systems for critical applications.

Close collaboration with customers allows for unique system configurations incorporating the latest hardware and customer-specific technologies.

Motor Control Systems

Through advanced high-resolution and low latency encoders and resolvers, motor control and monitoring are tasks that have been expanded beyond the realm of switchboards and vector drive systems. EtherCat industrial control systems can be monitored and managed by any system with an Ethernet connection, offering the lowest latency and highest reliability and performance of any industrial control system.

  • High-resolution, low latency encoders & resolvers
  • EtherCat industrial control systems

Oil & Gas Exploration & Production

Reliability is the key to success in the oilfield and equipment must survive multiple deployments. Ease of transport, deployment and utilization round out the additional design factors for suitable embedded systems. Working closely with system manufacturers, our Custom System solutions have been ruggedized for deployment in Explosion-Proof environments. From shirtsleeve control room environments through the noxious gasses of the drilling zone and into the grind of the production environment, ADL Embedded Solutions help optimize capacity and scheduling.

  • Reliable custom system solutions for renewable energy
  • Rugged computing design for deployment in any environment
  • Optimize capacity & scheduling

Mining, Renewable Energy, & Energy Distribution

Aside from industrial process and motor control functions, datalogging of remote mining and renewable energy operations such as wind farms benefit from low power single board computers that offer legacy support for PCI/104 CANBus peripherals and I/O flexibility including Gigabit Ethernet, miniPCIe, serial COM ports and multiple USB 2.0 ports.

  • Low power SBCs with legacy support and I/O flexibility
  • Industrial process and motor control solutions
  • Systems designed for alternative energy applications

Systems Integration

ADL Embedded Solutions is well versed at not only defining SBC and peripheral expansion board solutions for most applications, but also designing, creating and integrating custom enclosures to meet both low and high IP requirements for extended temperature and rugged environments.
