In helping factories make this transition, industrial machine makers want to be able to use familiar tools and solutions that will help them speed time to market. For instance, they would like to continue using Microsoft Windows* as the standard platform for enterprise control functions and human-machine interfaces (HMIs). At the same time though, these IoT solutions must support real-time control functionality.
ith the growth of cloud technology
and the
Internet of Things (IoT), Industry 4.0 is well on its way. By connecting fac- tory machines and opera-
One way of achieving the required coexistence of non-real and real- time functions is by modifying Windows or adding the extra overhead of hypervisors. This article looks at a different approach. We consider how INtime* for Windows software from TenAsys can partition applications running on an IoT gateway without affecting performance or causing confl icts between real-time and non-real-time workloads. We show how the features of Intel®
IoT Gateway Technology and Intel® processors
contribute to the performance, security, and manageability capabilities of this solution. We explain the signifi cant advantages of these gate- ways for HMI interfaces. And we close with a discussion of how through design scalability this approach allows machine manufacturers to take advantage of future processor and software advancements.
Building Smart Factories Today’s industrial automation press promotes the value IoT gateways provide as building blocks for the smart factories of the next indus- trial revolution, Industry 4.0. These gateways connect legacy and new
