 Harting introduces Harting IIC MICA, a modular platform of open hardware and software that can be swiftly and economically adapted to many industrial application areas.
The platform consists of a compact, economically priced and extremely robust computer suitable for scenarios in industry and rail systems that has been tested in accordance with EN 50155 and other industry and railway standards. Built upon this is the unique Virtual Industrial Computing software platform, which is based on an innovative combination of established Linux technologies. This platform enables the virtualisation of applications on field devices without the overhead typically seen with virtualisation. All applications run in sandboxes in virtual containers that hold all required libraries and drivers for the particular application. As a result, package dependencies and incompatibilities are things of the past.
