Introduction of Qt for Automation
Monday, March 26, 2018 Guest blog from The Qt Company Today, Industry 4.0 and the IIoT have introduced a whole new set of challenges: There will be more connected devices, which will generate more data, that in turn will lead to even more complex software applications. The playing field will change at an exponentially accelerating pace, including the state of device infrastructure, application complexity, and development. To address this, architects came up with a common infrastructure design for the future of IoT: Within this design, Qt and Toradex play in the field of Human Machine Interfaces (HMI) and Edge devices/controllers. There, Qt's strengths such as cross-platform, user experience, the large number of libraries and tools, can be used without restriction. The Qt Company sees challenges like scalability, interoperability and performance requirements when creating smart devices as well as HMI solutions. As the implementations vary within the field of Industrial
