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.
With Torizon OS, develop and deploy without OS complexity
A maintained, production-ready Linux platform with update and secure LTS approach
With Torizon Cloud, operate and maintain your devices
Manage deployed devices remotely without building your own infrastructure
With Torizon Tools, evaluate and develop with ready-to-use frameworks
Build and deploy applications using modern tools without managing embedded Linux
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.
