Windows Embedded Compact 2013 is ideal for the smallest industry devices, including programmable logic controllers and human-computer interactive panels, which are often found in process monitoring in manufacturing, RFID scanners in retail, and portable ultrasound and laboratory diagnostic equipment in healthcare. When these devices are connected to the backend via the cloud, they form an intelligent system. This intelligent system will analyze and utilize the data it generates to bring practical insights to the enterprise, and this data has become the new wealth of the enterprise.
Kevin Dallas, general manager of Microsoft's Windows Embedded business unit, said: "Today's organizations must tap into the vast potential of data if they want to win the competition. Industry devices powered by Windows Embedded can readily access this data to meet the needs of real-world actionable business intelligence. windows Embedded Compact 2013 is a truly powerful, flexible platform that extends this capability to some of the smallest industry devices."
