Success stories Reliability. Services. Mission-critical. Kieback&Peter-Building Automation, Room Automation, Building Management applications Harman-infotainment and navigation systems Neptec LCS Camera, AdvancedSpace Vision System (ASVS)
Success Story: Kieback&Peter Using QNX for more than 20 years QNX system being shipped and updated constantly Building automation systems rely on the security, reliability, and high availability of the QNX Neutrino microkernel architecture Building Automation, Room Automation, Building Management applications, used in factory floors, fair grounds, hotels, leisure parks, hospitals, theatres, etc. QNX products Kieback & Peter is using: QNX Neutrino RTOS, Multi-Core, QNX Momentics Tool Suite
Success Story: Kieback&Peter (cont d) Reliability/Robustness is key; for instance, failure of building management system in food factory could mean spoiled food Maintainability, customizable competitors using Windows are challenged with a lot of Windows Updates and tons of security issues, plus limited life cycle of Windows versions. QNX doesn t need weekly updates to run stable, thus lowers maintenance cost. Still, QNX doesn t need weekly updates to run stable, thus lowers maintenance cost. Still, the K&P system can be used from Windows using remote control provided by QNX
Success Story: Kieback&Peter (cont d) Kieback&Peterexpects a building automation system that just works. The K&P system comes with a QNX-based, powerful CAD -alike program that allows the customer to build their own building management schematics, so the customer himself can design part of the user interface for his very own facilities.

Success Story: Harman Using QNX since 2002 Designs and builds infotainment and navigation systems for some of the most prestigious automotive brands - Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Peugeot, Porsche, Toyota, etc. Harman s scope is truly international, encompassing both North America and Europe, and its footprint continues to expand. It has already developed systems for Korean automakers Hyundai and SsangYong, and it is now expanding its reach into the fastgrowing China market.
Success Story: Harman (cont d) Harman needs to deliver the extremely rich user experience it is famous for, while using the lowest-cost processors and hardware possible QNX technology plays a key role in helping them strike this balance. Harman takes advantage of the entire QNX technology portfolio; QNX Neutrino RTOS, QNX CAR Application Platform, QNX Aviage Multimedia Suite, QNX Aviage HMI Suite, QNX Aviage Acoustic Processing Suite, QNX Momentics Tool Suite, and board support packages (BSPs). Plus, extensive use of QNX automotive engineering services. QNX professional services are key to helping Harman deliver sophisticated functionality on time.
Success Story: Harman (cont d) In 2008, Harman successfully completed 13 starts of production a record that no one in the automotive market has ever matched. The deep expertise and automotive experience of the QNX professional services team was key to helping Harman achieve this remarkable milestone. Bringing QNX into a greater number of green in-car systems; requires greater power management strategies to save energy. QNX technology (e.g. adaptive partitioning, microkernel) allows Harman to integrate an immense amount of functionality on the same processor while ensuring that critical functions always behave as required this is key to ensuring a successful user experience, etc.

Success Story: Neptec Using QNX since 1991, first products deployed in early 1990s Mission-critical space vision systems, including these QNX-based products: LCS camera for inspecting exterior of space shuttle to ensure it is safe and intact; Space Vision System (SVS) which helped astronauts to assemble the International Space Station and to guide the Canadarm in previous shuttle missions.
Success Story: Neptec (cont d) QNX products Neptec is using: QNX Neutrino Realtime Operating Systems (RTOS), QNX Momentics Tool Suite, QNX board support packages (BSPs), QNX technical support and engineering services. Most important QNX features to Neptec: Reliable microkernel architecture and proven ability to handle the extreme conditions found in space, where there is no room for error. Microkernel architecture allows only those components that are needed to be installed, ensuring the OS has a small footprint and uses the least amount of resources required.
Success Story: Neptec (cont d) Microkernel operating system architecture made it easier for Neptecto detect and eliminate programming errors. For instance, the LCS camera system for the Space Shuttle was completed in just 14 months, on time, and without complications. For THE LCS system, QNX professional services developed a custom BSP, allowing Neptecto focus on application development. The development and technical support provided by QNX was critical to the success of the LCS system.
