BANGALORE: Wind River Systems, the worldwide market leader in embedded software and services has announced its next generation Wind River Platform for Industrial Automation 2.0 (Platform IA) and Wind River Platform for Industrial Devices 2.0 (Platform ID). The new Platforms for the industrial market focus on connectivity between the enterprise to device and device to device through new technologies such as Web services and USB 2.0. Customers will also benefit from increased performance and reliability with the latest release. "Within the industrial market, Web services has emerged as a technology standard to connect devices to the enterprise," said Ajit Edlabadkar, Country Manager, Wind River India. "By supporting Web services in the industrial platforms, Wind River continues its commitment to deliver increased technology and innovation, year over year." With PLATFORM IA and PLATFORM ID, device manufacturers in the industrial market are able to focus their time and resources on developing their core strengths and key differentiators rather than solving time-consuming inefficiencies associated with the availability, integration and performance of embedded foundation software. Additionally, because Wind River offers an annual subscription-licensing model, existing customers that have already standardized on PLATFORM IA and PLATFORM ID will automatically receive these new features as part of their subscription.
