Thanks to the partnership with congatec, KontronOS is now available as part of the aReady.COM portfolio. This allows customers to receive application-ready modules with a pre-installed and licensed operating system. The combination of congatec's hypervisor technology, KontronOS, and KontronAIShield separates mission-critical core functions from IoT components, ensuring maximum system security.
“With KontronOS, we offer a secure, modular, and standardized platform that will be available across all modules in the long term. It will serve as a foundation for future innovations. At the same time, we are responding quickly to new technological requirements driven by the CRA directive and the evolution of AI. We are pleased to strengthen our collaboration with congatec to offer even more powerful and secure solutions to our customers,” said Hannes Niederhauser, CEO of Kontron.
Dominik Ressing, CEO of congatec, added: “We are expanding our hardware and software components for ready-to-use embedded computers with the secure KontronOS. This enhancement provides aReady.COM customers with greater flexibility and security. With aReady.COM, customers can bring secure and innovative solutions to market faster, reducing non-recurring engineering costs and total cost of ownership. We are delighted that Kontron is supporting our aReady strategy with KontronOS, and we are excited that this joint solution is now available to our customers.”
KontronOS is offered by subscription and is available at aReady.COM. It can be extended with modules such as KontronAIShield and KontronGrid, which can be added as needed. KontronOS helps customers comply with CRA regulations for their products, reducing overall costs.
Following the partnership established with congatec in May 2025, which combines the expertise of both companies in computer modules, congatec will continue to supply embedded modules to Kontron. Together, the companies are pooling their technological capabilities, giving Kontron access to one of the broadest ranges of embedded modules in the world.
