emlix develops secure, maintainable and future-proof system solutions for the digitalisation and networking of devices, machines and equipment on the basis of embedded Linux. Our systems form the robust foundation for modern, connected industrial products – reliable, updatable and stable over the long term.

As a provider of professional open source software, we ensure process reliability and transparency. The tools and development standards we use are designed for industrial requirements and certifications. We offer long-term maintenance and CVE monitoring for our software platforms and thereby take responsibility for the product lifecycle and our customers' investments.

Trust through experience

For over 25 years, we have translated systems knowledge, open source expertise and market insight into more than 400 customer projects. Embedded Linux platforms from emlix are deployed millions of times worldwide – in demanding industrial fields and safety-critical applications.

Engineering competence for demanding industries and the highest requirements

We support companies throughout the entire development process: from architecture and requirements engineering, through security-by-design concepts, implementation, testing and documentation, to long-term maintenance. In doing so, we combine more than two decades of experience in security- and regulation-intensive industries with deep know-how in security and safety engineering – for solutions that meet the highest technical and normative requirements.

Our customer industries include agricultural technology, automotive, SoM/SoC manufacturers, the energy industry, home automation, automation technology, mechanical and plant engineering, medical technology, metrology, retail and logistics, commercial vehicles, security technology and others. 

Experts for secure embedded Linux systems

Our portfolio covers systems and security engineering, bootloader, kernel and driver development, low-level programming, boot-time optimisation, remote update mechanisms and hypervisor and container architectures. Together with product management and development teams, we create robust system platforms and take on support and maintenance services throughout the entire product lifecycle – including cybersecurity and safety requirements.
