Intelligent Systems Today, 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 Intersection When 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.
