Market-Specific Use Cases

Automotive

The connected, autonomous, and electric vehicles of today require a new approach to designing and developing the compute systems in cars. Helix Platform provides that approach, allowing you to consolidate all types of functions and different levels of safety criticality into a single platform, today and into the future

Avionics

Helix Platform allows avionics system suppliers to consolidate multiple federated systems with both safety-critical and general-purpose applications onto a single safe, secure, and reliable compute platform—and reduces the risks and costs of implementing new capabilities in the future.

Defense

At the center of an integrated C4ISR system are cutting-edge virtualization technologies, processors, and sensors that seamlessly integrate connectivity, smart situational awareness, and enhanced decision making for the connected warfighter. Helix Platform provides a single compute platform for the necessary software interoperability, coupled with robust cybersecurity capabilities.

Industrial

Helix Platform brings new intelligence to equipment manufacturing, energy, transportation, and more. Its virtualization technology enables consolidation of applications, data analytics, communication, and operations for industrial systems to deliver Industrial 4.0 capabilities to the edge.

Medical

Helix Platform is bringing new intelligence to medical equipment and devices. It provides a single edge compute platform for running multiple applications with mixed levels of criticality, enabling a safe, secure, reliable, and updatable system for innovative, cost-effective healthcare.
