What a Waste!

Communication Changes Everything

The smart machine era will be the most disruptive in the history of IT-- Gartner 2015

World Economic Forum 2015

• The Industrial Internet will transform many industries, including:

– Manufacturing– Oil and gas– Agriculture– Mining– Transportation– Healthcare

• …and dwarf the consumer side

• Collectively, these account for nearly two-thirds of the world economy

Transform Product Architectures

”BK Medical is truly redefining Medical Ultrasound Imaging The traditional single user / single system approach is being replaced with fully scalable and distributed multi-user systems

…we selected the RTI ConnextDDS middleware as this gives us all the flexibility and the abstraction layer needed for the future of Analogic Ultrasound”

-- Jesper Lomborg Manigoff, VP of Engineering, Analogic Global

IIoT Architectural Challenges

Integrate Intelligent Systems

• The VW Driver Assistance and Integrated Safety system combines radars, laser range finders, and video to assist safe operation

• The V-Charge program demoed a self-driving vehicle in 2014

• The system integrates with existing CANbus through VW Cargate™ ECU

• RTI enables advanced reactive systems in transportation

Facilitate Plug-n-Play Across Vendors

• Audi hardware-in-the-loop simulation feeds realistic data to components for testing

• The system offers plug-n-playbetween simulation vendor solutions

• RTI middleware enables a modular test environment that scales to work with hundreds of devices

Interoperability between Subsystems

• Next-generation of – Lockheed Aegis– Raytheon DDG 1000– Raytheon SSDS– LCS (Lockheed and GDAIS)– Raytheon LPD-17– Many more, US and allies

• Highly distributed systems include radar, weapons, displays, controls

• Standards-based, data-centric architecture breaks vendor lock-in, drives interoperability ,and future-proofs the architectural design

Provide a Common Platform

Revolution®

"GE Healthcare chose the DDS standard because it can handle many classes of intelligent machines.

RTI Connext DDS satisfies the demanding requirements of our devices and supports standardization on a single communications platform across product lines."

-- J Gustavo Perez, General Manager for

MI&CT Engineering

Improve Safety by Connecting Devices

• Hospital error is the 6th

leading cause of preventable death

• The Integrated Clinical Environment (ICE) standard specifies interoperability for medical devices

• RTI Connext DDS ties together many classes of devices from many vendors

“RTI Connext DDS met all our needs – whether

we’re handling 12 patients, or 200.”

-- DocBox Founder, Tracy Rausch

Control Mission-Critical Operations

• NASA KSC uses RTI for the launch control SCADA for Orion

• RTI delivered 300k points, at 400k msgs/sec with 5x the required throughput, at 1/5 the needed latency

• Launch control, in-flight monitoring, UAV tracking ground station, LPD recovery ship…all run RTI DDS

• DDS connects thousands of sensors and actuators

Work in Harsh Environments

• Joy Mining is the world’s largest mining equipment manufacturer

• RTI Connext DDS connects the controller, operator GUI, and historian

• Reliable, fast connectivity enables control, debugging, and system health monitoring for continuous mining

Create Software-Defined Machines

• RTI provides fast backplane communications for telecom equipment

• RTI & Cisco recently submitted an RFI for Software Defined Networking (SDN) to OMG

• RTI can update thousands of switches in one action

• RTI Connext DDS supports 1000s of apps, 50k+ namespaces

Implement Multiple Security Boundaries

• System Boundary

• Network Transport– Media access (layer 2)

– Network (layer 3) security

– Session/Endpoint (layer 4/5) security

• Host– Machine/OS/Applications/Files

• Data & Information flows

Deliver Demanding Security

• The USS SECURE cybersecurity test bed is a collaboration between:

– The National Security Agency– Department of Defense

Information Assurance Range Quantico

– Combat Systems Direction Activity Dam Neck

– NSWCDD– NSWC Carderock/Philadelphia– Office of Naval Research– Johns Hopkins University

Applied Physics Lab– Real Time Innovations, Inc.

• Objectives– Immunize against cyberattack

and to rapidly recover when impacted

– Determine the best cyberdefense technologies without impacting real time deadline scheduled performance
