How to Extend Legacy Systems into the AI & IoT Era

Organizations in all industries are looking for ways to capitalize on technology megatrends like AI, machine learning and the IoT. More than just increasing efficiency and reducing costs, these enabling technologies allow for the implementation of new applications, services and revenue models. However, many of the electronic systems in operation today are typically deployed for five years, 10 years, or longer, which makes it difficult for OEMs and system integrators to capitalize on new advancements in technology. In fact, in this time of rapid innovation, the mere presence of legacy electronic systems can accelerate technical and business obsolescence. Such is the case in sectors like industrial automation, health care, and test & measurement, where many electronic systems have been designed around integrated architectures.
