Lattice Automate Solutions Stack Accelerates Development of Industrial Automation Systems
New Automate solution suite provides low-power, secure, reliable solutions for next-generation factory automation and industrial robotics
Lattice recently launched the new Lattice Automate™ solution set, further expanding the comprehensive solution set product line based on low-power FPGA. Automate includes software tools, industrial IP cores, modular hardware development boards, and software-programmable reference designs and demonstrations, which help simplify and accelerate the implementation of applications such as robots , multi-channel motor control with predictive maintenance functions and scalability, and real-time industrial networks . The intelligent industrial systems realized by Automate will play a vital role in the automation process of future smart factories, warehouses, and commercial buildings.
Technological trends such as the Internet of Things and network edge computing are driving the development of intelligent automation systems to improve efficiency and ensure worker safety. According to data from market research firm Fortune Business Insights, the global industrial automation market is expected to reach US$326.14 billion by 2027 .
Mark Hoopes, Director of Industrial Marketing at Lattice, said:
In order for automated industrial systems to deliver the high productivity and safety benefits that businesses demand, such systems need to support features such as low power operation , low data latency , high availability and real-time processing . The Automate solution collection provides developers with a quick and easy way to create industrial systems that can leverage these features to support emerging technologies such as predictive maintenance.
Automate provides the following reference designs and software tools to facilitate rapid development of common industrial applications:
Scalable Motor Control Solutions
– Accelerates development of flexible motor control systems, including GUI-based user interface tools for system monitoring and control.
Predictive Maintenance – Minimize downtime by monitoring multiple motors in the system.
Embedded Real-Time Networks – Use Lattice Nexus FPGAs as central controllers to implement scalable sensing and control systems for a variety of devices.
Cyber Protection Resilience – Implement hardware root of trust to detect, protect, and recover from firmware-based attacks in real time.
Easy-to-use software design methodology - Automate support Lattice Propel™ uses an embedded RISC-V processor to simplify the development of industrial automation systems through software and hardware co-processing.
