World Data Acquisition Hardware and Software Market
Frost & Sullivan, Dec 2009, Pages: 89
This Frost & Sullivan research service titled World Data Acquisition Hardware and Software Market provides a detailed analysis of the product segments, end-user segments, geographic regions and market ranking of participants in the data acquisition (DAQ) hardware and software market. In this research, Frost & Sullivan's expert analysts thoroughly examine the following markets by product type: peripheral component interconnect (PCI)/PCIe/cPCI, local area network (LAN) eXtensions for instrumentation (LXI)/Ethernet, VersaModular Euro (VME) eXtensions for instrumentation (VXI), PCI eXtensions for instrumentation (PXI)/PXIe, universal serial bus (USB) and standalone. The end users covered in this research are defence, aerospace and military, power and energy, industrial and manufacturing and education among others.
Market Overview
Advances in Data Acquisition and Logging Technologies to Develop and Spur Growth of the Data Acquisition Hardware and Software Market
DAQ systems have been developed to handle the increasing volume of data required in various processes across different end-user segments. DAQ products enable the measurement of stress in structures, machines and aerospace components as well as torque measurement in the automotive and shipbuilding industries. They also help monitor tensile and compressive forces in production lines, besides weighing applications in the agricultural, chemical, pharmaceutical, food and other industries. Evolutions in DAQ/logging technologies have facilitated remote-resource DAQ systems. “The DAQ systems market, despite being one of the oldest concepts in the instrumentation market, has been continually evolving over time with the introduction of innovative technologies,” says the analyst of this research. “New bus types are being frequently adopted in the market due to their enhanced performance for data acquisition cards, boards and modules.”
The use of external devices in many DAQ applications has been on the rise, especially the use of USB personal computer (PC) front ends instead of plug-in analogue input/output (I/O) boards. These external devices are more attractive as peripheral add-ons because they enhance portability. Availability of common serial bus technologies like USB or Ethernet in computers implies that upgrades are not required. This is likely to drive the market in the long term.
Market Vendors to Focus on R&D and Keep Pace with the Constant Demand for Up-gradation
Implementation of new DAQ technologies in older systems with outdated bus technologies increases complexity. For example, in-flight DAQ applications mandate flight data management and flight operational quality assurance (FOQA) programmes after the recent flight disasters with several companies. The complexity increases, as these programmes encompass a broader range of aircraft than before. “The need for a wide range of interfaces in numerous applications increases the complexity of DAQ systems,” explains the analyst. “Vendors should consider providing a DAQ solution that is less expensive and complex for such applications.”
DAQ vendors should keep pace with the constant demand for up-gradation. To sustain growth, they should invest regularly in R&D activities. This will help them to improve their product portfolio and support customers’ changing needs. “Present-day modular solutions are scalable to thousands of channels or functions that are capable of delivering consistent performance and accuracy,” concludes the analyst. “With customers requiring solutions that last longer, products should be designed to deliver longevity.”
