Industrial Automation

Deliver high-quality, efficient, and reliable embedded systems that enhance the automation processes.

Industrial automation is transforming manufacturing and development. New actors are being added to ecosystems every day and the need for interoperability, connectivity, and security have never been greater. With a focus on code quality our tools enable greater productivity, quicker innovation processes, and secure automation.

Our tools are certified for functional safety according to ten different standards, including IEC 61508. This certification empowers you to develop compliant and secure automation within embedded applications with confidence.

The platform for embedded development

How our solutions help you

Scale development operations with freedom and flexibility, accelerate innovation with code confidence, and simplify compliance while strengthening security.

green developer board with microcontrollers and chips

Architecture and device agnostic

Develop without limits on 20+ architectures

IAR’s platform supports multiple architectures like Arm and RISC-V, ensuring compatibility, eliminating vendor lock-in, and simplifying development across legacy and next-generation embedded systems.

Cloud-ready, tailored for enterprises

Scale seamlessly with cloud-powered development

Seamlessly integrates with private, public, and hybrid cloud environments, enabling remote collaboration, scalable builds, and CI/CD automation while ensuring security, compliance, and efficient resource management.

Functional safety always included

Ensure safety compliance from the start

Pre-certified tools ensure compliance with ISO 26262, IEC 61508, and IEC 62304, reducing certification complexity and helping teams build reliable, safety-critical applications in automotive, medical, and industrial systems.

End-to-end embedded security

Secure your embedded systems at every stage

Built-in security features like secure boot, encrypted code, and runtime integrity verification protect against cyber threats, ensuring compliance with NIST, the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), and ETSI standards.

Solutions

As embedded systems grow more complex, functional safety becomes crucial, especially in industries like automotive where compliance is mandatory.

Our functional safety editions are TÜV SÜD-certified, ensuring they meet the necessary standards for developing safety-critical applications. By choosing IAR as your development platform, you eliminate the need to independently evaluate the tool’s development process or conduct your own compliance testing. TÜV SÜD has already handled this, saving you both time and costs, so you can focus on your code and application features.

Functional safety

Supported standard IEC 61508

IEC 61508 is the international umbrella standard for functional safety. The standard and standards derived from it are used within all kinds of industries with requirements on reliability and safety, for example, process industries, the oil and gas industry, nuclear power plants, machinery, and railway control systems.
