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.

Secure Software for Next-Gen Heavy Machinery

Heavy machinery, from excavators and bulldozers to industrial vehicles, must deliver reliable performance and cost-efficiency over decades.

The Challenge

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.

How We Support

Leveraging the latest multicore SoCs can significantly reduce safety certification efforts and accelerate the development of cost-efficient, performance-optimized mixed-critical applications tailored for heavy machinery. Whilst a Hypervisor can smartly manage processing resources with adaptive partitioning, so your heavy machinery always benefits from the precise compute power needed to tackle complex tasks without compromise.

The Solution

QNX® General Embedded Development Platform (GEDP) 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.

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.

Senior Robotics Engineer at Energrid Technologies.
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.
