Foundational Software for Heavy Machinery

Streamline safety certification and reduce time to market with QNX software.

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.

Modernize Heavy Machinery Software with Seamless Integration

QNX delivers a robust platform that makes transitioning from Linux straightforward, thanks to full POSIX compliance and support for AUTOSAR Adaptive. Developers quickly adapt to our Linux-like QNX® Software Development Platform (SDP) 8.0 using familiar tools such as Eclipse, gcc, and standard APIs. With comprehensive engineering services and board support packages for advanced SoCs, QNX scales seamlessly from single-core systems to high-performance platforms tailored for heavy equipment. Plus, our QNX Hypervisor solutions isolate systems in virtual machines, enabling confident legacy code migration and smooth integration of new features without disruption.

Heavy Machinery with Unmatched System Reliability

In the heavy machinery sector, a rock-solid foundation is vital for enduring performance. QNX OS 8.0 combined with QNX Hypervisor equips OEMs to develop systems that consistently deliver real-time responsiveness and steadfast durability, even in the most demanding industrial settings. Its secure microkernel design isolates critical services from the core kernel, ensuring continuous, fault-tolerant operation. Additionally, the QNX Hypervisor smartly manages processing resources with adaptive partitioning, so your heavy machinery always benefits from the precise compute power needed to tackle complex tasks without compromise.
