FAQs
How can factories become adaptive, software-defined environments that operate with greater resilience?
Today's industrial operators need systems that adapt instantly to shifting demands while maintaining uptime. NXP enables this through real-time edge AI, modular control and secure cloud edge coordination that allows factories to reconfigure sensors, adapt protocols and maintain uptime during disruptions.
The Software-Defined Factory demo (Exor + NXP) uses i.MX 8M, NAFE13388 and NAFE33352 to deliver real-time edge intelligence, flexible sensor integration and cloud edge orchestration.
Factories can detect failures, reroute processes, and maintain production, reducing downtime and improving efficiency.
The system supports dynamic reconfiguration of fieldbus protocols and secure data exchange, unlocking continuous, context aware autonomy.
How can industrial systems maintain secure, deterministic control as automation grows more connected?
The next generation of industrial automation must be resilient against cyber risks while sustaining precise, real-time performance. NXP delivers deterministic, cyber-resilient industrial control through TSN enabled real-time communication, postquantum cryptography (PQC) and AI accelerated anomaly detection—ensuring safe, tamper-resistant automation even in mission critical environments.
Trusted Robotics Toolkit uses i.MX 94 with integrated EdgeLock Secure Enclave and ML-KEM/Kyber PQC to protect robot communication and data integrity.
TSN (Time Sensitive Networking) ensures precise multimotor control and deterministic network behavior across robotic systems.
AI at the edge analyzes video and sensor streams for real-time anomaly detection, optimizing bandwidth and response times.
How can energy intensive industries stabilize power usage while integrating renewable resources?
As power grids become more distributed, industries need intelligent energy management that is secure, scalable and autonomous. NXP responds with secure edge controllers and modular Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) using S32K3, secure elements and advanced BMS components for grid stabilization, peak shaving and microgrid autonomy.
NXP's secure energy management systems use i.MX 93/95, UWB mesh networking and Wi-Fi 6 MCUs for autonomous allocation of energy resources across buildings and industrial sites.
A modular edge AI architecture allows continuous optimization, reducing energy waste and supporting sustainability objectives.
