With the spread of industrial computing, a whole range of new applications have been developed,
resulting in a fundamental change in the IPC industry. In the past system integrators (SI) were
used to completing projects without outside assistance but now such working models have
moved on. Due to diverse market demands and intense competition, cooperation for (both
upstream and downstream) vertical integration has become a much more effective way to create
competitive advantages. As a result, ARM-based CPU modules were born out of this trend.
Concentrating all necessary components on the CPU module and placing other parts on the
carrier board in response to market requirements for specialization, provides greater flexibility
while retaining its low power consumption credentials.
