Industry-specific profiles enhance RTOS

The industry-specific profiles include features and enhancements pertaining to safety, security, connectivity, manageability, user interface and graphics.

The Networking Profile enables manufacturers of network infrastructure to rapidly create, test, deploy, maintain, and manage high-quality network devices, wired or wireless.

The Industrial Profile provides industrial device manufacturers with essential multimedia and connectivity middleware, including drivers and protocols for connected devices on the factory floor, wireless peripherals, and other devices within the network infrastructure.

The Medical Profile helps manufacturers of medical devices with human machine interface and connectivity middleware specifically tailored for the needs of medical device manufactures.

The Consumer Profile offers a fast-boot, small-footprint, low-power run-time environment ideal for smaller form factor connected devices such as wearables, mobile handhelds, digital imaging devices, residential gateways, and broadband access devices.

Dinyar Dastoor, Vice President, Product Management, Wind River, comments: “From intelligent industrial products and networking equipment, to consumer electronics and medical devices, VxWorks 7 will help manufacturers bring connected, IoT-ready applications to market faster, while reducing risks and development costs. The new collection of middleware in our industry-specific profiles is the perfect complement to our RTOS platform known for its rock-solid determinism, reliability, and unprecedented ecosystem of complementary third-party hardware and software technologies.”
