Seller impact
- InferenceReusing existing computing equipment may reduce the need for new dedicated control hardware, but compatibility, real-time performance, licensing fees, and migration costs are unknown, so this alone does not establish that total costs will fall. These conditions should be verified during the exhibition. [1]
Suggested action
If you are evaluating software controllers, ask the vendor during the exhibition for a compatibility list for your target equipment and a quote that includes licensing and migration costs.
Evidence that would disprove the assessment
- Assessment 1：If demonstrations or technical documents at the exhibition show that the target application still requires new dedicated control hardware, the assessment that hardware needs will be reduced does not hold.
