Powerful, controlled embedded control
A software solution optimised for demanding embedded systems.
Context and challenges of the embedded world
Embedded engineering is at the heart of industrial innovation, but it has to contend with specific and growing constraints.
Major challenges in the sector
- Resource constraints: memory, computing power and space are often very limited.
- Real-time and reliability: deterministic operation is essential in critical applications.
- Secure connectivity: reliable communication with other embedded systems, supervisors or the cloud.
- Robustness and functional safety: embedded applications sometimes operate in extreme or regulated environments.
- Time-to-market: strong pressure to rapidly develop products that comply with the latest standards and protocols.
- Customisation: each embedded application may require specific software adaptation.
The market is evolving towards eIoT systems, intelligent embedded controllers and increasingly miniaturised automation solutions.
The advantages of straton for embedded systems
straton is designed to meet the most demanding requirements of the embedded world, combining compactness, real-time performance and integration flexibility.
Compatibility with industry standards
- Supported embedded protocols: CANopen, Modbus, OPC UA, proprietary protocols. •
- Functional safety support (IEC 61508).
Flexibility and customisation
- Suitable for embedded systems with or without an operating system (embedded Linux, RTOS, bare metal).
- Rapid creation of customised functions for specific use cases.
- Easy coupling with other applications on the system.
- Runtime easily portable to various hardware platforms.
Performance and real-time processing
- Deterministic execution of control loops.
