Applications
Industrial Ethernet
Intel and its partners offer various Industrial Ethernet protocol IPs that unleash flexibility and scalability of your system design that will reduce your development time and total cost of ownership.
Time-Sensitive Networking
Intel® FPGA based TSN solutions give faster time to market advantage to your Industry 4.0 manufacturing system while adopting the latest standard requirements that are continually evolving.
Functional Safety
Industrial automation and robotics with control systems that operate close to humans must be certified to functional safety standards IEC 61508 or ISO 13849. Intel® FPGAs provide flexible and scalable solutions to allow you to architect your functionally safe design with TÜV-qualified development methodologies and tools.
Deterministic Compute
Today’s manufacturing automation environment of Industry 4.0 relies on deterministic compute for motor control and Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC). See how FPGAs provide the deterministic compute required while enabling cost savings in motors and drives, power assembly, computer numerical control (CNC), machine tools, robotics, and PLC design.
