You build the application.
We handle the OS.

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 OS with security-by-design approach with a CRA-ready software foundation to build, deploy and manage your devices, without maintaining the underlying system.

An open-source, secure, reliable, industrial and CRA-ready Linux-based OS

No Yocto Project expertise or custom OS build required

Long-Term Support OS with frequent updates, keeping products secure

Production-ready Linux foundation for reliable embedded products

Develop using the framework or programming language of your choice

Multi-language support: Develop with Qt, Python, .NET Core, C#, C/C++, and more

Streamlined development with Torizon IDE integration for VS Code

Develop AI/ML with supported frameworks

Securely deploy, update, monitor and manage devices throughout their lifecycle

Secure remote access, monitoring, and fleet management of deployed devices

Secure OTA and offline updates for applications and subsystems

Adaptable to customer connectivity requirements, from cloud to on-premises

Just Add Your Application!

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.
