Case Study: Bosch Rexroth achieves a secure, scalable industrial automation platform with Ubuntu Core and snaps

Bosch Rexroth adopts Ubuntu Core and snaps for app-based ctrlX AUTOMATION platform

Bosch Rexroth needed a way to modernize industrial automation with a more open, secure, and flexible platform for edge devices, while reducing dependence on proprietary PLC systems. The company selected Ubuntu Core and snaps from Ubuntu for its app-based ctrlX AUTOMATION platform to bridge machine control, IT, and OT.

Ubuntu implemented Ubuntu Core and snaps to power a modular, software-driven architecture that supports app-based development, strict confinement, automated updates, and rollback for better security and uptime. The result was an open ecosystem that speeds time to production, improves lifecycle security, and lets developers build in languages like C, C++, Python, JavaScript, and Go.
