Industrial Automation & Medical
Product life-cycles in the industrial automation and medical market typically exceed 10 years. These life-cycles don´t fit to the very limited delivery guarantees from the semiconductor industry, so hardware obsolescence is a major issue. One solution to that problem is to extend use by basing new applications on open-standards to minimize hardware dependency and therefore improve software reusability. This approach helps to leverage existing investments.
SYSGO solutions
SYSGO has a long track record in the Industrial Automation sector as well as in the Medical sector. Industrial Grade Linux ELinOS was the first product to be widely used in these domains. Support of Intel, ARM, SH-4 or PowerPC architectures, combined with support of most of the required Fieldbuses, graphical capabilities professionally tested, plus a wide range of networking and communication standards, makes it an embedded Linux development environment of choice for developers. PikeOS offers the benefits of virtualization to embedded development, including the possibility to reuse legacy code and combine with new Linux based code. Hardware obsolescence can be easily managed thanks to PikeOS flexibility, scalability and hardware independence. Possibility to develop IEC 61508 or IEC 62304 certified applications is another big benefit for industrial automation and medical application.
