Zinnia Gateway

The ready-to-deploy, scalable industrial edge system

The Ready-to-deploy, Scalable Industrial Edge System

Zinnia Gateway is a certified, CRA-ready industrial edge platform, ready to deploy without the complexity of building and maintaining custom gateways.

Built on Toradex Verdin iMX8M Plus hardware, Zinnia Carrier Board and Torizon OS, it combines proven hardware with a production-ready Linux platform stack for fast, reliable deployment. Purpose-built for automation, energy, and infrastructure applications.

Accelerate your move from development to deployment, without the hardware complexity.

You build the application.
We handle the software.

Most gateways provide a standard Linux distribution, leaving system updates, security patches, and long-term maintenance to your team. Zinnia changes that. With Torizon, you get an integrated software with security-by-design approach with a CRA-ready software foundation to build, deploy and manage your devices, without maintaining the underlying system.

Running PLCs on embedded hardware typically requires significant integration effort from setting up the runtime to ensuring reliability and long-term maintenance. With Zinnia Gateway, that work is already done. In collaboration with CODESYS, you can run virtual PLCs and even safety control directly on the device.
