Industrial automation requires real-time data exchange across complex networks to achieve synchronized and orchestrated operations on the factory floor. To enable seamless automation, systems must integrate IT and OT networks, support diverse industrial protocols, and address cybersecurity challenges. This demands secure processing, wired and wireless connectivity, and compatibility with multiple industrial standards.
NXP delivers advanced solutions for secure industrial networking, including:
Feature-rich microcontrollers (e.g., i.MX RT1180) and high-performance processors (e.g., i.MX943) with integrated security.
Discrete secure elements, robust software stacks, and development boards (e.g., i.MX943EVK).
Support for leading industrial protocols: EtherCAT, PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, CC-Link IE, plus emerging standards like IEEE Time Sensitive Networking (TSN), OPC-UA, and UAFX.
By enabling secure interoperability across industrial systems, NXP provides a scalable path for smart factories, Industry 4.0, and future-ready automation.
