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
Develop using the framework or programming language of your choice
Securely deploy, update, monitor and manage devices throughout their lifecycle
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.
