Industrial strength hardware for an Arduino prototyped product

[Todd]

I am trying to find some options for industrial strength hardware. I am working on a project with another fellow and we have built a gadget that we would like to turn into a product.  The prototypes we built were done with Arduino components and I am in the hunt for answers as to where to look for better hardware to flesh the product out.  I have stumbled upon Atmel.com and Microchip.com and noticed that this hardware can be coded with Assembler as well as C but is this the place to look?  Can some of the folks who have gone down this path give me a few ideas?

 

Thanks!

choosing proper micro controller for your said application depends upon application requirements.

whether u require 8 bit, 16 bit or 32 bit processing?

what r the built in peripherals  it needs like ADC, IIC, comparator?

what is the resolution of built in peripherals like 10 bit or 12 bit ADC, 8 bit or 16 bit timer?

ATMEL has series of AVR micro controllers while micro chip has PIC series to give strong compitition

Awesome answer! Thanks for that. Truth is that I’m experienced with object oriented code but not so much with arduino and electronics. As to the processing and peripherals I would need, I’m not even sure . Could you point me to a good site to learn what I would need to answer that question? Thanks again!
