Kithara Software & InoNet Hardware
Joint industrial PC platform with a real-time system
High-performance industrial PC platform for demanding real-time applications in image processing and ADAS
Kithara Software and InoNet are combining their expertise. The goal of the collaboration is to combine InoNet’s industrial PCs, which span a wide range of performance classes, with Kithara’s real-time system and to demonstrate them as a validated solution for industrial image processing and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS).
Real-Time capabilities for Windows
High computing power for image processing and AI
Powerful hardware meets real-time technology
InoNet’s industrial PCs provide the hardware foundation for Kithara’s real-time system. This extends Windows with hard real-time capability. This enables deterministic task execution in the microsecond range and precise cycle times, even under high CPU loads. At the same time, the platform supports high-resolution image processing, sensor-level data processing, and AI-based algorithms. HMI, control systems, and communication can also be consolidated onto a single platform.

- Optional integrated GNSS module for positioning and/or time synchronization (PTP)
Mayflower®-Q12W-SP5
Maximum computing power and I/O density for data-intensive applications.
- Up to 128 CPU cores for highly parallel workloads
- Large number of PCIe lanes for maximum expandability and bandwidth
- 12 PCIe slots for flexible system configurations
- Ideal for data-intensive applications such as ADAS development and the recording of multiple high-resolution GigE Vision streams
The ideal platform for demanding real-time applications
The platform is designed for demanding real-time applications where high data rates, low latency, and deterministic behavior are critical.
These include multi-camera systems with high data rates, real-time image processing and AI inference, ADAS development and validation, as well as the combination of motion control and sensor fusion. Edge computing applications with real-time requirements are also among the targeted use cases.
Benefits for OEMs and system integrators
The validated platform reduces integration effort, minimizes project risks, and shortens development cycles.
Our shared customers benefit from a scalable solution built on industrial-grade hardware and a clear technical evaluation framework.
Quick evaluation of suitable configurations
Reduced integration effort
Long-term availability of industrial components
“In InoNet, we have found a partner whose industrial PC systems are ideally suited for computationally intensive real-time applications. Together, we are demonstrating that sophisticated image processing and ADAS functionalities can be implemented on industrial standard platforms with deterministic behavior.”
Uwe Jesgarz, CEO of Kithara Software GmbH
Validated foundation for image processing and ADAS
The combined platform provides a solid foundation for evaluating demanding real-time applications in image processing and ADAS. The combination of high-performance industrial PC hardware and hard real-time capabilities under Windows results in a validated solution that makes it easier to get started on your own projects.
