Case Study: Sirona Dental achieves faster time-to-market for networked X-ray devices with Wind River Platform

Sirona Dental shrinks time-to-market with Wind River to launch networked X-ray devices in record time

Sirona Dental Systems, a dental technology leader, faced the challenge of adding networking capability to its line of extra-oral 2-D/3-D X-ray devices while meeting very aggressive time-to-market goals. To ensure performance and reliability for this innovative product, Sirona needed a robust RTOS solution and turned to vendor Wind River for help.

Wind River implemented its Platform for Medical Devices, which included the VxWorks RTOS, an embedded development suite, and custom board support packages. With the additional support of Wind River Professional Services, Sirona's developers were able to get up to speed quickly. As a result, Wind River helped Sirona bring a well-tested, high-performing product to market in record time, cementing its promise of revolutionary and easy-to-use dental technology.
