Users benefit from integrated hardware and software solutions for their OT (operational technology), with use cases ranging from embedded and edge computing systems to edge clouds (also known as "fogs"). The main markets targeted by ctrlX OS in the embedded systems segment are automation, robotics, medical technology, as well as smart grids and vehicle applications.
congatec's decision to adopt ctrlX OS will allow the embedded systems market to access the entire ctrlX Store portfolio of solutions with its numerous applications. Applications from Bosch Rexroth and other suppliers in the ctrlX World partner network follow an open and modular approach. This covers everything from modules to the final application and cloud integration. The combined hardware and software building blocks simplify the development of even complex embedded applications, including edge and cloud integration. This shortens time to market while providing a high level of design security.
“With this collaboration, we are taking another step towards fully integrated, application-ready solutions for use cases ranging from connecting sensors and actuators in the field to the cloud. In Bosch Rexroth, we have found a strong international partner that provides comprehensive, application-oriented software support for the modular and open design approach of our secure embedded building blocks. This makes our offering of modular and scalable solutions for networked and cloud-based embedded applications even more attractive,” explains Dominik Reßing, CEO of congatec.
“The industry’s digitalization and sustainability goals can be best achieved with open, modular, and demand-driven scalable solution platforms. With congatec, we have gained another partner that represents and embodies these values. Based on vendor-independent standards, we can now support any configuration of embedded system platforms based on ctrlX OS, making ctrlX OS universally applicable and scalable on demand,” explains Steffen Winkler, Head of Sales for the Automation and Electrification Solutions Business Unit at Bosch Rexroth.
Application-ready solutions create added value.
At congatec, developers can purchase COM modules that come pre-equipped with ctrlX OS licenses. With ctrlX OS, congatec customers have access to the ctrlX Store, which currently features around 60 applications. In addition to the Linux-based real-time operating system, ctrlX OS also offers developers superior support and the trusted backing of a German company. In addition, numerous applications, services, and software development kits (SDKs) are just a click away. The ctrlX Store offers a wide range of solutions, for example, for PLC applications, motion control and communication, as well as engineering tools. Developers also have access to a variety of IoT and cloud applications, including essential functions such as firewalls and VPN clients.
