Passively-cooled low-power x86 SoC: runs signed Zeklar containers in real time, fanless.
Critical compute cannot live only in the cloud
In a critical plant, connectivity drops, cloud latency is unpredictable and office-grade PCs do not survive dust, vibration and thermal swings. You need a local, deterministic, certifiable node that keeps running control logic and diagnostics even when the network is gone.
Industrial x86 CPU
Low-power Intel x86 processors with contained TDP, fanless and passively cooled, for continuous operation between -20 and +60 °C.
Real-time Linux
Linux kernel with PREEMPT_RT for deterministic sub-millisecond latencies, suited to control loops and synchronized acquisition.
Industrial I/O
Isolated serial ports, GPIO, CAN, dual Ethernet and wide-range 9-36 VDC power with surge protection.
Verified boot
Secure boot, TPM 2.0 and encrypted storage: every CORE authenticates to the Zeklar network before executing any code.
Install
Mount CORE on a DIN rail or wall inside the cabinet and connect power, network and field I/O.
Enroll
The node enrolls with AEGIS: license, identity and software entitlements are assigned in a verifiable way.
Deploy
Zeklar programs are pushed as signed containers and executed locally in real time.
Observe
Telemetry and health status flow into PULSE for fleet monitoring and maintenance.
CORE is a fanless x86 edge compute node that runs the Zeklar software (FLUX, control logic, PULSE agents) at the plant edge. The architecture is layered: certified industrial hardware, a verified boot chain, a signed-container runtime and a remote management plane bound to AEGIS and PULSE.
DIN-rail in cabinet
DIN-rail mounting inside switchboards and automation cabinets, powered from the panel 24 VDC bus and wired to field I/O.
Rack or panel in control room
Panel or rack-mount variant for control rooms and technical rooms, with redundant power and connection to the on-prem Zeklar network.
Ruggedized in field
Conformal-coated IP65 chassis for outdoor kiosks and harsh installations, resistant to dust, humidity and vibration without climate control.
Verified boot
UEFI Secure Boot and TPM 2.0 measure every boot stage; the node refuses to run unsigned kernels or bootloaders.
Encrypted storage
LUKS/dm-crypt full-disk encryption with the key sealed in the TPM: data stays unreadable if the drive is removed.
Identity and RBAC
Each CORE enrolls with AEGIS for an X.509 identity; access and commands follow roles with an immutable audit log.
Certifications
ISO 27001-aligned management; hardware with CE marking, industrial EMC (EN 61000-6-2) and IEC 61010 options.
What runs on CORE?
Zeklar programs delivered as signed containers: FLUX gateways, control logic, PULSE agents and edge CORTEX jobs. It is not a PLC but the compute node that sits alongside them.
Does it work without connectivity?
Yes. CORE runs logic and diagnostics locally even with no network; telemetry and updates sync once the link to PULSE returns.
How is field software updated?
Via A/B partitions: the signed update is written to the inactive slot and activated on reboot, with automatic rollback if boot fails.
How deterministic is the latency?
With a PREEMPT_RT kernel and cores isolated for critical loops it achieves deterministic sub-millisecond latency, suited to control and synchronized acquisition.
Does it integrate with existing PLCs and SCADA?
Yes, via Modbus, OPC UA and MQTT over Ethernet or serial, sitting alongside field systems without replacing them.
