Intel has announced the availability of Wind River Titanium Control software platform for the advancement of Industrial IoT. Titanium Control is an on-premise cloud-scale infrastructure that allows infrastructure companies to evolve aging legacy control systems that were earlier not designed to support the connected nature of IoT.

Since the conventional industrial control systems were not designed to support Internet of Things (IoT), most of them are rigid, incur high cost to deploy, integrate, maintain and serve a single purpose. In addition to this, the obsolescence cycle driving system updates demands new systems to keep pace with innovation while maintaining or lowering capital costs.

“With the emergence of Industrial IoT, companies are looking to deploy next-generation open and secure control systems; Titanium Control addresses this need, and is in active trials with customers in industries ranging from manufacturing to energy to health care,” said Jim Douglas, president of Wind River. “Our software has been providing these companies with powerful ways to increase efficiency and bolster safety, security and reliability for the last 35 years. With the addition of Titanium Control to our product portfolio, Wind River is driving a new industrial era through virtualization, real-time performance and edge-to-cloud connectivity.”

Titanium Control has been optimised for Intel Xeon processors and has been pre-validated from the leading providers of Intel-based servers. It uses an open standard based platform to virtualise traditional physical subsystems. Contrary to the enterprise IT virtualization platforms, Titanium Control is highly reliable for applications and services deployed at the network edge.

Some of the prominent features include – :

● High Availability and performance

● Flexibility

● Low latency that reduces capital and operating expenses

● Minimised unscheduled downtime for industrial applications and control services irrespective of the scale
