Android for industry

Originally developed for mobile phones, the Android operating system is also an excellent choice for industrial applications such as; instrumentation, control, and automation (ICA). Android provides a complete embedded software stack, from kernel through middleware to basic applications. The system is available as open source and can be used, modified, and deployed without any license cost. Its maintenance and evolution is being driven by the Open Handset Alliance (OHA) and a growing world-wide developer community.

On the technical side, Android uses the proven Linux kernel inherited from its core functionality, i.e. process management, file system, network connectivity, and security. Numerous well-known open source libraries sit on top of the kernel and add further functionality to the system. For example, the OpenSSL library is being used for security and the SQLite library provides an SQL database engine. Applications are being developed in the Java programming language, which is beneficial for the development process. The feature set of language and libraries is comparable to what is known from the desktop, allowing developers' knowledge and tools to be reused. All this is complemented by a new framework making the creation of attractive, touch device GUIs a breeze.
