Discover Highly Reliable, Proven Edge Computing Solutions

In addition to its speaking sessions, Stratus will also be demonstrating its Edge platforms, solutions, and use cases, including:

  • Stratus and Rockwell Automation PlantPAx Solution-in-a-Box – This process control architecture, jointly developed by Rockwell Automation and Stratus, simplifies the deployment of small to medium scale distributed control systems (DCS) that require 5,000 I/Os or less at edge locations, so companies are protected from unplanned downtime. The built-in virtualization of ztC Edge consolidates the PlantPAx software into a single redundant platform, instead of being installed in multiple computers.
  • Stratus ztC® Edge – Stratus’ 2nd generation ztC Edge platform is combines built-in application virtualization and fault tolerance in an easy-to-install, ruggedized design for the edge. The new ztC Edge offers up to 200% greater performance over the prior generation, which is critical to reduce unplanned downtime and ensure continuous availability of business-critical applications in industries that cannot afford downtime.
  • Stratus Edge Computing Experience (ECX) – This immersive environment allows OT and IT users to explore the wide range of Edge Computing use cases in industrial automation. Users can scale edge automation and harness critical data for insight with simple, protected, autonomous Edge Computing.

Stratus will showcase all solutions at Automation Fair booth #661. To learn more about Stratus at Automation Fair, please visit the event page.
