Intelligent SystemsToday, we don’t just have things. We have things that think.

They’re learning from us. Teaching us. And communicating with each other.

Machines, equipment and gadgets—from home appliances and medical devices to security systems and tractors.

Five Years Out, the things we build will be even smarter, more connected, more efficient and more intuitive.

At Arrow, we can help bridge the gap between today and Five Years Out. With the parts and pieces. The software and systems. The networks and applications. The data center and the cloud.

We are the people who embed, connect and build. We bring it all together. All for your benefit.

Are you ready to make what’s smart even smarter? Then let’s get to work.

The Great IntersectionWhen a system is intelligent, it’s more than the sum of its parts. It takes the raw

potential of existing or emerging technologies. Combines aspects of embedded

processing, software and applications, and wireless connectivity. And brings them

together to enable new abilities to sense, connect and control.

Industry Highlight: digital communication Solutions

Like the other industries Arrow serves, digital signage technologies are moving at breakneck speed. Today’s displays consist of multiple applications running on multiple devices, pulling in dynamic content from a range of sources to provide richer, more compelling experiences.

As displays grow in sophistication, they also grow in complexity. To be successful in your endeavors, you need more than a monitor and a computer—you need a digital communication platform. That’s why it’s critical to work with a trusted expert in the field—a partner who understands the latest innovations and capabilities, knows where the industry is heading, and is ready to bring all the right elements together to provide a next-generation solution.

Whether you’re creating a kiosk, sign or self-service application; an ATM or voting machine; a check-in system; or a medical device, we can help you build the right solution for your specific needs.

Microprocessors and microcontrollers are the established foundation

of intelligent systems. The majority of today’s innovations are

happening at the level of software, applications, sensing capabilities,

connectivity and security. More and more, these elements and their

integration will define differentiation in the marketplace.

Today’s trending capabilities include accelerometers and gyros

that know where they are, what direction they’re going in, whether

they’re climbing or falling, and how fast and how far they go;

devices that measure vital signs, compare them with past data,

and inform a workout, a check up or a hospital visit; and equipment

that tests environments for toxicity and acidity, preventing

inadvertent exposure.

With all of this data in motion, security’s role gains even more

importance. It’s essential to not only to protect proprietary,

classified or personal information, but also to prevent the

ramifications of data corruption, the impact of which can range

from inconvenient to catastrophic.
