They\u2019ve been used in manufacturing for decades and are known for their reliability and ability to withstand harsh operating conditions. However, embedded systems can perform the same function for a fraction of the price. So, why aren\u2019t manufacturers rushing to replace their trusted PLCs? Neil Ballinger explains the pros and cons of both options"}
