Red Hat Device Edge combined with Tyrrell Products' hardware and Intel processors empowers manufacturers with scalable, edge-optimized industrial automation
Red Hat, Inc., the world's leading provider of open source solutions, and Tyrrell Products, a leading developer and distributor of smart IoT hardware and software solutions, today announced a collaboration to deliver a converged smart building and industrial automation controller powered by Intel processors and Red Hat Device Edge, enabling manufacturers to run the most demanding applications on the shop floor with greater ease. The Tyrrell Products IONA-XP will be the first iteration of a range of control hardware platforms designed specifically for industrial containerized application deployments.
Control systems for industrial automation can be particularly challenging due to the need for real-time performance and reliability in often harsh environments. This requires advanced computing infrastructure, data storage and management systems and cybersecurity protocols to protect sensitive data. In addition, manufacturers are exploring emerging workloads like artificial intelligence (AI) and generative AI (gen AI), data aggregation and computer vision, which demand agile, scalable industrial systems to streamline IT and OT operations, to unlock new revenue opportunities. With this collaboration, Red Hat and Tyrrell Products intend to address the needs of modern manufacturing by providing:
- A more easily consumed, pre-tuned platform using Red Hat Device Edge to run mission critical workloads on a more consistent software-defined foundation with deterministic performance;
- Support for smart building applications with more seamless integration of various building controls and media on a unified platform to facilitate better energy management, predictive maintenance and enhanced security capabilities while minimizing costs;
- Enhanced security posture to help safeguard critical plant and machinery operations with production-read, tested components;
- Real-time performance capabilities with embedded fanless processingpowered by Intel Atom processors to support the next generation of IoT edge devices with integrated security and functional safety capabilities;
- Improved scalability and flexibility for optimized control and greater portability for edge deployments from a single integrated platform.
As part of this collaboration, manufacturers will also benefit from long-term support from Red Hat, Tyrrell Products and Intel to help them more easily and seamlessly address the needs of their industrial systems and applications.
