What are the real life applications of Arduino?

Today Arduino is used for the control of traffic lights, it can also be used for the real time control system with programmable timings, pedestrian lighting etc.

Which microcontroller is best for industrial applications?

The Arduino Uno Rev 3 is the best overall microcontroller for most users. Compatible with the Arduino Integrated Development Environment, the Arduino Uno R3 is incredibly well documented.

Is Arduino an industry standard?

Of course engineers need to know more than just how to program the Arduino, and, of course, if you’re going to design a 1,000,000 users product, you don’t want the overhead of the Arduino. If you’re simply prototyping however, or making a small-scale product, the Arduino is absolutely brilliant.

Which microcontroller is widely used in industry?

The MSP430 family of microcontrollers from TI are considered as some of the most modern microcontrollers and the most popular member of that family so far has been the MSP430G2452. The MSP430G2452 is a powerful, and relatively cheap microcontroller based on a 16-bit RISC CPU manufactured by Texas Instruments.

What controllers are used in industry?

There are three types of controllers used in industrial automation: Programmable Logic Controllers(PLCs), Distributed Control System(DCSs), and Programmable Automation Controller (PACs). In PROFINET terminology any of these is called a controller.

What is the use of Arduino in the industrial sector?

Basically Arduino is a development board. It is used to develop more complex products. The products used in Industries need lot of other protection & robustness than simple Arduino board. So Arduino board hardly find direct uses in industrial sector.

Is Arduino the best choice for real life products and applications?

With all those points, you can clearly see that Arduino is absolutely not the best choice when producing real life products and applications. Simply because it was never the goal of Arduino. Their true goal is to make robotics development more accessible to people. Arduino is a really great development board to use for:

What are the advantages of using Arduino?

Arduino and Raspberry PI, in their ruggedized version, can be valuable and reliable alternatives to the well-established industrial devices (especially to connect to the internet of things small legacy industrial systems) pending an ad-hoc design of project to ensure safety.

Are there any industrial partnerships between Arduino and other companies?

Even if Arduino is widely spread all over the Internet, there are (not that I’m aware of) no industrial partnerships between Arduino and another company. If you go to an industrial exhibition anywhere in the world, chances are that you’ll see ST Microelectronics, Microchip, Schneider, Siemens, etc etc.
