Bosch-Rexroth ctrlX IOT

Consistency between the OT and IT levels is the foundation for transparency, security, and efficiency in increasingly connected production environments. Embedded Linux IoT allows data from machines and systems to reliably recorded, processed, and evaluated. This creates new opportunities to optimize processes, increase overall equipment effectiveness (OEE), and use resources in a targeted way.

As the importance of the industrial internet of things (IIoT) continues to grow, so too does the demand for secure and flexible architectures. Modern automation solutions must be seamlessly integrated into existing systems and at the same time, meet the highest security requirements. A secure by design architecture, open standards, and intuitive configuration are crucial in this regard.

ctrlX IOT from Bosch Rexroth consistently meets these requirements. As a central component of the automation system ctrlX AUTOMATION, it combines the capabilities of an industrial IoT Linux with integrated IoT device management, edge computing, and a secure Linux IoT gateway. This allows machines, systems, and applications to be connected simply and securely. Users benefit from an open, scalable platform that ensures the highest industrial IoT security while providing maximum flexibility and adaptability. Practical apps make it easy to expand the functionality.
