Kontron at SPS IPC Drives in Nuremberg

From Edge to Fog to Cloud – TSN and OPC-UA Enabled

Augsburg, October 25, 2017 – Kontron, a leading global provider of Embedded Computing Technology (ECT), will be showcasing numerous new products from November 28 to 30 at SPS IPC Drives trade fair in Nuremberg, Germany, in hall 7, booth 193. The company, a part of S&T AG, focuses this year's trade fair presence on IIoT, the Industrial Internet of Things. Highlights include Kontron Embedded Cloud solutions such as TSN / OPC-UA connected high-performance embedded servers, fog computing, and edge gateways.

With the embedded cloud, time-critical and sensitive machine data remains fully within a company’s control. This allows for quick and safe analysis, the optimization of processes, and the interaction of machines in real-time.

Integration into the Microsoft Azure Cloud

Further complementing its extensive embedded systems portfolio, Kontron will showcase scaleable embedded servers, fog computing, and edge gateways ideal for building an embedded cloud. The company will also introduce an integration into the Microsoft Azure Cloud for outsourcing data hosting and evaluation in business intelligence or other analytics tasks. Finally, it will present data collection, virtualization, and cloud-based device management solutions.

Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) solutions

Kontron will also showcase innovative products for the new open Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) standard for deterministic, time-sensitive industrial ethernet networks. These solutions make possible the realization of industrial network systems with minimal latency and maximum precision in coordination. This includes, for instance, OPC‑UA-based real-time control data and so-called Kontroll Streams for industrial facility control synchronously combining data from various machines.

These and other innovations will be on display at the Kontron booth at SPS IPC Drives in hall 7, booth 193, alongside the complete range of Kontron embedded boards, modules, Box-PCs, rackmount systems, and HMI, as well as middleware and services for IIoT and Industry 4.0.
