Applications
Connectivity
Intel connectivity solutions enable Industry 4.0 factories to be smart and autonomous. Intel provides ready-made solutions for Time-Sensitive Networking and Industrial Ethernet to accelerate Robotics, Manufacturing, and Power Grid applications.
Functional Safety
Industrial automation and robotics with control systems that operate close to human require to be certified to functional safety standards, IEC 61508 or ISO 13849. Intel® FPGAs provide flexible and scalable solutions to allow you to architect your functionally safe design, with Intel approved development methodologies and tools.
Deterministic Compute: Motor Control
Motor-driven systems account for more than two-thirds of industrial energy consumption, so their efficient operation is vital to the smart factory. See how FPGAs provide the deterministic compute required while enabling cost-savings in motors and drives, power assembly, computer numerical control (CNC), machine tools, and robotics.
Deterministic Compute: Real Time Controllers
Today’s manufacturing automation environment of Industry 4.0 demands high-performance Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) enabled with secure enterprise connectivity and Human Machine Interface (HMI). See how Intel® FPGAs can meet these new challenges with grounds-up rethinking of PLC design.
