Hi! That's something I'm also trying to find out. I know we can refer to the ATMEL microcontroller datasheet for temperature extremes and some performance data, but how do the Arduino boards (Duemilanove, Mega, and Ethernet shield) perform in industrial environments (very high/low temperatures, high electromagnetic interference, high humidity )?
Another question is support; if we create a device based on an Arduino board, and in 5 years time we have a couple of failures, how are we going to repair/exchange the device? Arduinos will most probably be very different in a couple of years...
What are your thoughts on this? Anyone has an Arduino-based design working in industrial/though environments?
Many thanks!
