We are nominated for the Embedded Award

in the category Safety & Security

We are delighted to announce that our Linux for Safety Applications solution has been nominated for the Embedded Award 2025 in the category Safety & Security at the upcoming Embedded World. The award honours the most innovative products in the embedded systems industry.

As part of an innovative development project together with Elektrobit Automotive GmbH, emlix has developed a Linux Safety Monitor which reliably supervises the Linux kernel, enabling a SIL2 /ASILB application to be run directly on Linux.

And rather than trying to make Linux safe we provide an execution environment for applications which lets them execute correctly and indicate, if this is not the case. Elektrobit’s EB corbos Linux for Safety Applications creates a dependable data-space for safety applications.

As we are nominated for the embedded award, we have the chance to win the community choice award. For the second time, the embedded community will vote for their favorite among all nominees for the embedded award 2025.

So if you support our approach, feel free to vote for us here.

Innovative solutions for industrial products

Our core competence is the conception, qualification, composition and development of embedded Linux systems and hardware-near product features. We thereby observe the relevant norms for the respective industry closely.

Our quality-assured solutions are based on mainline Linux, distributions such as Yocto, Buildroot, PTXdist and Android as well as other industrially proven open source components and commonly used tools.

Process-secure implementation

We offer you development tools and processes that are especially designed for industrial requirements:

e2factory offers build and process automation that guarantees reproducibility over the entire software life cycle. The emlix Test Application Framework (TAF) enables automation and traceability of hardware-near tests with report generation.

Reliable life-cycle support

Our service spectrum includes process-compatible maintenance and ensuring of the IT security as well as functional security throughout the entire product life cycle.

Furthermore, emlix accompanies its customers in quality and safety audits – during both development and life cycle maintenance.

Success Story Schenck Process Europe GmbH

Secure Yocto edge device | customized embedded Yocto system (Kirkstone LTS)

Schenck Process aimed to achieve two goals in the development of the CONiQ® Cloud: Central to the project was the implementation of the Secure Boot concept based on the Zero Trust principle: A secure connection links Schenck Process machines and systems with secure data storage as well as secure user and device management. In addition, AWS Greengrass was to be integrated into an embedded Linux system as a connector for the Amazon Cloud - with the goal of complete controllability and hardware independence.

Valuable experience from current projects

CVE Monitoring

egislators as well as the compliance departments of operators increasingly expect manufacturers to provide IT security management processes in order to guarantee the respective current software version. The reality, however, is that industrial products and critical infrastructure often contain outdated and insecure software components.

emlix focuses on economical software life-cycle management for embedded Linux systems.

Safe Linux

With the extent to which high-performance CPUs are taking over safety-critical areas, the necessity increases of providing a high-performance operating system that is able to fully utilize the resources of the hardware. Linux is increasingly being chosen for this purpose.

In this context, emlix is an active player with projects in the areas of medical technology, industry and automotive, in which embedded Linux has become established in the area of functional security.

Security Audit

Outdated and therefore insecure software components in industrial products or critical infrastructure are a major risk factor in terms of cyber attacks. Norms such as IEC 62304 for medical device software as well as the compliance departments of customers therefore expect increased IT security management processes and sophisticated risk evaluation.

For a fast evaluation and improvement of the IT security of existing systems with open source software, the emlix Security Audit provides a simple and economical basis.
