Benefits of Tuxera IIoT data storage & networking software
Unsurpassed storage reliability
Power fail-safety is a key requirement for industrial applications. Tuxera's file systems have patented transactional methods to protect data at risk, detect and provide early warning of imminent flash failure and/or data inconsistencies, and offer uncompromising fault tolerance during unexpected power loss or component failures.
Interoperability for smarter industry
Seamless, timely access to data in an industrial automation system environment is critical to the efficiency of smart industrial processes. Our storage software portfolio encompasses solutions supporting data storage and access all the way from deeply embedded and portable storage media at the edge, to file sharing over networks and to the cloud.
Robust flash storage endurance
Get the maximum lifetime from your flash hardware – and save in replacement costs. Our embedded file systems counter the lifetime-draining effects of flash write amplification and write and erase wear. Patented methods including dynamic and static wear leveling, and intelligent data allocation algorithms deter early flash burnout.

Factory automation
Smart, automated factories are powered by sensors, motion controllers, and programmable logic controllers (PLCs), among other small-footprint devices. Machines and devices are monitoring conditions in real-time and communicating with each other as well as with centralized control platforms over a network. The entire system can be controlled to quickly adapt to changing production requirements, enhancing the output and efficiency of factory operations.
Tuxera software is engineered to handle the high-speed performance required by real-time industrial automation processes. File system and flash management features like bad block management and advanced wear-leveling algorithms add endurance to the flash storage used within industrial systems. All the while, our patented fail-safety technologies ensure data is not at risk of corruption or loss. Plus our proprietary network storage software is highly scalable, with rock-solid data security features to share files over a network to many devices at the same time.

Scanners, ruggedized handhelds, and point-of-sale devices
Purpose-built handheld devices for industrial and point-of-sale use cases incorporate advanced technologies that allow many functions from one single device. The storage workloads for scanners and readers often involve small writes, which cause higher overhead and performance problems. These workloads also contribute to write amplification, which can greatly reduce the flash storage lifetime – thus impacting device lifetime as well.
Our products are renowned in the industry for tackling these two problems better than any other file system or flash management alternatives. Plus, handheld devices are often equipped with an SD card reader interface or portable storage over USB to expand the internal memory. Our file systems guarantee seamless interoperability to make data transfers between devices faster and more responsive, while keeping data intact and secure.
POS transactions are also increasingly done using mobile phones and tablets that run Linux or Android. This brings several benefits to retailers like mobility, upfront low-cost investment, added branding, and customizing the user experience. Tuxera’s solutions also work in these cases as well.

Test equipment, measurement devices, and dataloggers
Factories rely on equipment that captures data using sensors, which record various parameters on site, about the processes and operations, and the equipment status. The data is used for multiple purposes, from detection to real-time monitoring and analytics. Industrial environments demand a high level of reliability, and storage software is paramount in these and related devices (such as their docking stations and collectors).
Our file systems and flash management software is designed to help the flash storage hardware withstand the repeated write-erase cycles associated with these industrial workloads. All the while, our patented fail-safety technologies ensure data is not at risk of corruption or loss.
