Build Safe and Secure Heavy Machinery
Heavy machinery must be cost-efficient and reliable for decades. But software-defined designs and autonomous technologies are leading to more complex and connected systems that are vulnerable to cyberattacks. Developing and certifying safety-critical components and ensuring their security can be risky and costly.
Let QNX® assume responsibility for time-consuming OS development and maintenance, as well as safety-certification of foundational components, freeing your developers to focus on innovations and features that drive revenue. You can easily port from Linux® to the POSIX-compliant QNX® development environment and QNX® OS 8.0 or QNX® OS for Safety, as well as run mixed-criticality systems on the QNX® Hypervisor and QNX® Hypervisor for Safety.
Streamline Certification and Boost Performance in Heavy Machinery
Heavy machinery, from excavators and bulldozers to industrial vehicles, must deliver reliable performance and cost-efficiency over decades. Yet, as software-defined designs and automation drive increasingly complex, connected systems, these machines face growing cybersecurity threats. Developing and certifying safety-critical components while ensuring robust security has become both challenging and costly.
Leverage the latest multicore SoCs to significantly reduce safety certification efforts and accelerate the development of cost-efficient, performance-optimized mixed-critical applications tailored for heavy machinery.

The QNX Neutrino RTOS’s microkernel architecture isolates every application, driver, protocol stack and filesystem in its own address spaces outside the kernel. This means that a failed component won’t take down other components or the kernel; it can be restarted immediately, with minimal impact on system performance.

BlackBerry’s continued dominance in the automotive market is a testament to the ingenuity and versatility of QNX in the context of an evolving market and application space. Even more impressive is BlackBerry’s positioning at the fulcrum of multiple IoT market opportunities, as the convergence of the IoT and cybersecurity will unlock the value of the IoT across smart cities, healthcare, manufacturing, and more.
