In modern industrial automation, engineers are constantly challenged to achieve real-time motion control, advanced data visualization, and machine-vision processing — all within one compact system.
VstrongTech introduces the Virtualization Suite, a Type-1 hypervisor-based hybrid platform that lets Linux and Windows run simultaneously on a single x86 industrial controller — without sacrificing real-time performance.
Dual-System Architecture: Real-Time Linux + Windows
At the heart of the VstrongTech Virtualization Suite is its dual-OS architecture:
-
🧠 Linux (Debian 12, Xenomai, EtherCAT)
-
Handles real-time control for robots, CNCs, and industrial motion systems
-
Supports precise timing with a 250-microsecond timer cycle
-
Guarantees jitter below 30 µs, ensuring deterministic control
-
-
💻 Windows 10 / 11
-
Runs non-real-time applications such as HMI, machine vision, and data management
-
Supports industry process libraries (C++, C#) for integration with existing software
-
Communicates through shared memory with Linux for seamless data exchange
-
This architecture allows automation engineers to combine motion control and data processing in one compact, reliable device — without the need for two separate computers or controllers.
Built for Industrial Environments
The system is based on VstrongTech’s x86 industrial hardware platform, powered by Intel® Tiger Lake-U i7-1185G7E. Designed for DIN-Rail installation, it delivers the reliability and performance demanded in 24/7 production environments.
Hardware Highlights:
-
Compact DIN-Rail mountable design
-
Multiple Ethernet ports and EtherCAT / CAN support
-
Digital I/O (4 In / 4 Out) for direct control signals
-
RS-232 / RS-485, USB 4 ports, and dual disk storage
Industrial-Grade Reliability
The VstrongTech Virtualization Suite is tested for continuous operation under high stress conditions:
-
✅ CPU & GPU stress tested for stability
-
⚙️ Timer Cycle: 250 μs
-
⚙️ Jitter: < 30 μs
-
🕐 7×24 operation reliability confirmed through long-duration testing
This makes it suitable for robotics, AGV control, CNC machining, packaging automation, and motion-synchronized production lines, where milliseconds matter.
Why Choose VstrongTech Virtualization Suite
Traditional controllers force you to choose between flexibility and determinism — but VstrongTech removes that compromise. With this hybrid system, you can:
-
Run Windows-based visualization and Linux-based motion control side-by-side.
-
Achieve PLC-level precision with PC-level performance.
-
Save space and cost by consolidating functions into a single industrial box.
-
Connect seamlessly to ERP / MES / WMS cloud platforms for Industry 4.0 integration.
Ready for Smart Manufacturing
VstrongTech’s Virtualization Suite is not just a controller — it’s a complete industrial computing solution that bridges the gap between IT and OT.
With its real-time Linux engine, hypervisor optimization, and long-term reliability, it empowers factories to build smarter, faster, and more connected automation systems.
