Welcome back to season #3 of the ctrlX developR series. In the first episode, our cyber security specialist Michael shows how we developed a resilient system with ctrlX AUTOMATION.

The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is one of the driving forces behind Industry 4.0, transforming automation and production. This is because the IIoT enables the networking of machines, devices and plants with the digital world and promotes the efficiency of processes and systems. As an automation building block, ctrlX AUTOMATION offers a solution to unite IT and OT as well as to increase the efficiency of plants and machines.

Intralogistics is changing. The company DAMBACH Lagersysteme is bringing the benefits of automation to the pallet warehouse. The DAMBACH COMPACT SHUTTLE allows pallets in high-bay warehouses to be stored and retrieved even more efficiently. It is controlled by the space-saving, high-performance ctrlX CORE and can thus play to its strengths in an ideal manner.

The development of machine learning as a subarea of artificial intelligence is rapid. Today, they enable systems to act autonomously and make decisions. Data-based services and applications are the future. These include apps that provide information about the condition of components or give early warning of impending failure in the sense of predictive maintenance. Bosch Rexroth is driving this development forward with ctrlX AUTOMATION.

The factory of the future is characterized by the increasing networking of control technology, IT and IoT. The various systems must be seamlessly interconnected to ensure end-to-end digital processes. At the same time, however, this increases the risk of cyber attacks. In the connected world, attacks can cause more damage than ever before. It is therefore essential that security is consistently implemented at all levels.

The trade magazine Computer & Automation annually calls on its readers to vote the "Products of the Year". The Linux operating system ctrlX OS was voted number 1 by readers in the category Software & IT.

Bosch Rexroth creates new freedom in hydraulics: With the H4U (Hydraulics for You) software platform and the ctrlX AUTOMATION toolkit. In the past, know-how relating to hydraulic control technology essentially focused on hardware. Now, it is available in apps. With H4U, you can use hydraulics functions the easy way – independently of the hardware. ctrlX AUTOMATION has thus gained hydraulics apps too. The effects of these functions include greater energy efficiency.

Bosch Rexroth has brought openness to automation with ctrlX AUTOMATION. A few months ago, it was time for the next evolutionary step: ctrlX OS. The Linux-based operating system for industry was previously reserved exclusively for the ctrlX CORE controller and has now been opened up to third-party suppliers. Our ctrlX developR and software architect Jochen Scheib was significantly involved in the development and is convinced of the innovation and radiance of this unique system on the market.

With its operating system ctrlX OS, Bosch Rexroth has caused a sensation within the market: The automation specialist has uncoupled the software from its own control hardware and made it available for the industrial environment. As a result, even competitors can use the Linux-based operating system for their own purposes and take on the role of a system and technology partner. WAGO has decided to go this route and is now helping to drive openness in automation as Bosch Rexroth's first partner in this area.

The automation of the future is not a closed space, but overcomes boundaries. This is also demonstrated by ctrlX OS. The Linux-based operating system for industry is another milestone in the ctrlX AUTOMATION world in terms of freedom and openness. Until now, ctrlX OS has been used exclusively on the universal and open ctrlX CORE control system. Now Bosch Rexroth has opened up the operating system to third-party suppliers and makes it available as a separate solution for real-time use in the industrial environment. This is unique in the market. The first technology partners are waiting in the wings. And ctrlX developR are already developing the next ideas.

What good is the best innovation if it doesn't find its way to the target groups? Or is not exploited to its full potential? Our ctrlX developR Maurus Bien knows this too. The application engineer specializes in programming interfaces and is himself the interface between sales and customers. In this interview, he explains why Bosch Rexroth, with the infinite application possibilities of ctrlX AUTOMATION, is now also playing a leading role in previously little-trodden territory.

In industrial automation, willingness to embrace greater openness continues to grow – both in terms of technology and the cooperation between the various players. Bosch Rexroth shows what this means in reality, why the degree of automation continues to increase and that the resilience of supply chains as well as sustainability and energy efficiency will shape the sector in 2023.

Electric vehicles are the future - in industry, too. AGVs are gaining ground when it comes to speeding up the flow of materials within companies.

Learning from experience. This originally human principle is currently revolutionizing numerous areas of life and work as artificial intelligence. And in industry, too, the scope is enormous. With the IoT (Internet of Things), things are becoming networked, and with AI (Artificial Intelligence), they are becoming intelligent. The convergence of both - the AIoT - has immense power, knows our ctrlX developR and expert for Machine Learning André Stury.

The increasing networking and merging of automation technology and information technology is clearly bringing the topic of cyber security into focus. Resilient systems that are resistant to attacks are indispensable in the factory of the future. In this interview, ctrlX developR Michael Langfinger provides insight into current security challenges and explains why ctrlX AUTOMATION is so secure despite radical openness at the various levels.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is considered the driver of the future in industry. With it, real production landscapes are merging with the digital world across the entire value chain. The boundaries are becoming increasingly blurred. This development is also changing automation. In an interview, ctrlX developR Mauro Riboni explains how the interplay of IT and OT succeeds and what potential the industrial Internet of Things offers.

Don't follow the trends but go ahead and develop "The next big thing" yourself - that's what drives ctrlX developR. One of them is Johannes Albrecht. The Area Product Owner for IoT & Apps at ctrlX AUTOMATION has been on board since the very beginning, driving the Software Development Kit (SDK), apps and ctrlX OS forward. His goal is to make automation as easy as possible for users. In this interview, Johannes talks about what matters in the automation of the future and what moves the industry.
