The Intel Industrial Solutions System

Consolidation Series offers a powerful

path forward for product manufacturers

looking to minimize costs and support

effort while conserving valuable

factory floor space. Along these lines,

virtualization technology running on

Intel Core processors helps reduce

cost and complexity through the

consolidation of computing devices for

motion control, PLC, HMI, machine vision,

data acquisition, safety, and other

applications. This approach enables

OEMs to deliver greater value to their

customers and more easily offer new

functionality capable of generating

more revenue.

The Intel Industrial Solutions System

Consolidation Series, available as

development and production kits, can

dramatically lower risk and speed the

development of consolidated systems

using virtualization technology.

Benefits from Consolidation

By consolidating devices using virtualization technology, original equipment

manufacturers (OEMs) developing industrial automation solutions can provide

substantial benefits to their customers, such as:

• Lower overall solution cost: A consolidated device often costs less to

manufacture than multiple separate subsystems because the total bill of

materials (BOM) is smaller.

• Reduced integration cost: Since the networking, cabling, shielding, and

configuration, etc., that connect multiple subsystems together are handled

within a single system, integration is simplified.

• Smaller factory footprint: Consolidated equipment likely takes up less factory

floor space than the individual systems it replaces.

• Reduced overall energy consumption: The power efficiency of Intel® Core™

processors used in a consolidated industrial system can yield a solution that

consumes less total power than multiple individual subsystems.

• Simpler to secure: With fewer subsystems, the attack surface of the

factory is reduced, potentially resulting in a smaller variety of security

solutions to support.

• Higher reliability: A consolidated system often has a better mean time between

failures (MTBF) than a combination of subsystems it replaces because there are

fewer potential points of failure.

• Easier system management: A consolidated system presents a smaller number

of devices for factory IT personnel to install, provision, and manage.
