Storage solutions for embedded applications must provide reliable operation even in the most extreme
conditions: temperature, shock, and vibration. As such, both the qualification cycle and the support life cycle needed for these products by far exceed those of devices designed for typical consumer applications. Swissbit offers a wide range of products in various form factors, technologies and densities to match the requirement of the different industrial application.

The Internet of Things (IoT) and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) connect distributed devices with each other and to the cloud.
The information locally generated by sensors and devices need to be pre-processed and compressed to reduce the data stream to the central big data processing. This requires local storage. One the other hand sensitive control and sensor data must be protected and locally encrypted. Swissbit security storage products provide both services: storage and a hardware ID for encryption and protection.

There is a vast array of medical applications, ranging from diagnostic instruments including MRI and CT scanners, Ultrasound machines, to blood testing and dialysis machines and medication machines such as infusion pumps. Common aspects are the long qualification time and the need for 100% reliable operation. Swissbit supports both with longevity products that are designed and tested for perfection. Security options protect the privacy of patient data.

Transmitting data to remote areas of the world is quite challenging and involves a high cost. Transceivers, routers and bridges which require uninterrupted, autonomous 24/7 operation, are often under extreme environmental conditions and can be installed in difficult-to-service areas. Swissbit provides boot and logging media devices that are reliably available whenever needed.

Swissbit security products integrate NAND flash storage and Security services through Firmware or Secure Element. Systems can easily and flexibly retrofit or upgrade hardware security over the memory bus or protect valuable data.
Swissbit’s middleware creates the standardized layer to offer security functionality to the system without the need to understand the underlying hardware interfaces. The Swissbit Security Interface supports all relevant mobile, portable, embedded, and PC platforms.

The increasing varieties of infotainment and dashboard applications in cars today require significantly higher storage capacities than before. For autonomous driving, the demand for fast and high capacity storage drives the development of embedded products. Swissbit participates in this trend with newly developed dedicated storage solutions.
