Kontron will present new products and solutions at embedded world in Nuremberg, from 11-13 March. Kontron will showcase a broad IoT portfolio of high-performance hardware, software solutions and comprehensive services at its booth.
The highlight for the company at the event will be its high-performance, AI-based IDS and firewall solution, that protects industrial networks in real time. The system monitors network traffic, detects threats, and blocks attacks immediately. The AI identifies known threats and blocks previously unknown attack patterns. The solution is well suited for protecting older, insecure systems that can be hidden and secured behind them.
Another new product is the compact industrial PC KBox A-251-AML/ADN, which is ideal for Edge and gateway applications. Equipped with energy-efficient processors such as the Intel N97, Intel Core i3-N305, or Intel x7000 series, it combines high computing power with a space-saving design. Integration with the ManagedEdge IoT Bundle enables rapid scaling, low up-front costs, and a secure, CRA and NIS-2-compliant IoT architecture.
The KBox is optionally equipped with the secure, hardened, Linux-based KontronOS operating system, which meets the highest security requirements and is specifically designed for industrial IoT applications. Together with the AI-based IDS and firewall solution and the ManagedEdge IoT bundle, Kontron offers comprehensive solutions for secure, intelligent, and scalable IoT and Edge infrastructures.
The product range is complemented by the KBox B-203-RPL and KBox B-204-RPL industrial box PCs, which are suitable for easy integration into customer-specific systems and devices, such as modern control panels or complex laboratory and diagnostic equipment. They are equipped with a new mITX motherboard, designed and manufactured in Germany, which supports the latest Intel Core i3/i5/i7/i9 processors up to the 14th generation.
Other Kontron highlights include the BL Pi-Tron CM5 and the BL i.MX93. The BL Pi-Tron CM5 is a powerful embedded baseboard with the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 as the CPU unit. It is designed for demanding applications based in industrial environments. It is compatible with the Raspberry Pi community software. The BL i.MX93 is a powerful and cost-effective single-board computer, ideal for energy-efficient applications. The highperformance microNPU provides an efficient platform for machine learning applications.
After relaunching the traditional JUMPtec brand, Kontron’s new subsidiary presents standardised and customised Computer-on-Modules (CoMs) at the Kontron booth: COM Express, COM-HPC and SMARC. JUMPtec is focusing on comprehensive and scalable solutions based on the latest processor technologies from Intel, AMD, ARM and TI. The portfolio is complemented by services such as baseboard design and production services to support OEMs in development and production.
