Industrial Storage Solutions for Manufacturing & Automation

Rugged memory and security for PLCs, robotics, and industrial IoT systems

Manufacturing automation teams face escalating challenges

Development teams need storage that survives continuous operation, extreme temperatures, and relentless 24/7 write cycles without failure. System architects require consistent performance for edge computing and real-time control. Procurement managers demand long-term availability to avoid costly redesigns across 10–15-year equipment lifecycles.

Manufacturing data loss: A risk for production and profitability

When a PLC’s storage fails on the production floor, or a robotics controller loses configuration data, the consequences extend far beyond downtime. Production halts cascade through supply chains, disrupt delivery schedules, and trigger expensive emergency maintenance.

Trust in Swissbit storage for the lifetime of your industrial equipment

Swissbit delivers industrial-grade storage solutions engineered for harsh manufacturing environments, consistent performance under continuous load, and lifecycle support aligned with long-duration industrial equipment timelines.

Data Storage for Manufacturing & Automation Device Solutions

Your manufacturing automation systems deserve storage that matches their reliability requirements. From compact embedded modules to high-performance PCIe SSDs, Swissbit delivers industrial-grade memory solutions engineered for the conditions where standard storage fails. Ensure your production lines, robotics controllers, and edge computing systems operate without storage-related interruptions.

Edge AI storage
High-performance PCIe storage for edge AI

Swissbit helps customers run AI at the edge with PCIe-based storage solutions that deliver high read/write performance, ultra-low latency for fast data access and consistent quality of service, built-in data protection with encryption and key management, and higher storage density in compact edge systems.

Use Case

Storage for Industrial PCs in Extreme Temperatures
Challenge

Industrial PCs in extreme cold/heat caused SSD failures and costly downtime.

Solution

Standardized on Swissbit N3000 PCIe NVMe SSDs rated -40°C to +85°C for reliable performance.

Outcome

Two years uninterrupted, zero storage failures, no emergency replacements; long-term availability prevented redesigns and disruptions.

Use Case

Securing PLC Access with Hardware Authentication
Challenge

Restrict PLC programming to certified techs with audit trail; passwords were shared.

Solution

Swissbit iShield Key 2 hardware keys for authorized staff enabled physical, tamper-resistant login.

Outcome

Only verified staff modified PLCs; access centrally logged, improving compliance and security.

Why industrial applications still rely on CFast storage
by Lisa Picherer

In my first blog post, I explain why CFast remains essential despite newer interfaces: SATA, mechanical robustness, and long-term availability meet rising demands for endurance, data integrity, and security. Swissbit’s F-75 and F-78 series answers these challenges with a modern architecture built for predictable, reliable operation.

PCIe 5.0 vs. PCIe 4.0: High-Speed Interfaces Meet Industrial Reality
by Martin Schreiber

In recent years, discussions about high-speed connections in computer technology have focused on the transition from PCIe 4.0 to PCIe 5.0, especially given the increasing prevalence of next-generation CPUs and motherboards. First, I examine the theory and practice surrounding the performance advantages. Then, I address thermal limitations and explain why 4-channel NAND is still preferred in industrial environments. Finally, I present my conclusions.
