Efficient Development with Cross-Platform Industrial Software
Maximize efficiency and cost savings with a single end-to-end technology for your entire IoT factory—covering design, development, and quality assurance across a spectrum of devices ranging from low-end microcontrollers to high-end MPUs, spanning from embedded to desktop and mobile.
Be it the SCADA systems in your control room, the PLCs controlling the factory machines, or the rugged tablets used by operators, Qt cross-platform capabilities enable seamless reuse of software components on any devices. In the context of Industry 4.0, where connected devices communicate, exchange data, and automate processes, Qt serves as a comprehensive middleware for industrial automation. With APIs for networking, threading, database access, location, and more, Qt powers fully connected, high-performance factories.

High-Accuracy and High-Performance Industrial HMIs and Automation Software
Build fast and accurate real-time industrial software capable of efficiently handling multiple concurrent processes, huge data loads, and real-time graphics.
Industrial software applications need real-time control over complex decentralized processes involving large amounts of data from remote sensors and advanced 2D and 3D graphics. Qt’s architecture is designed for high-performance industrial applications and optimized for real-time graphics, with built-in tooling for multi-thread execution of concurrent processes, on-demand behavior, and memory management, to mention only a few. Qt’s optimized data structures enable handling large datasets and real-time graphics with unparalleled performance on embedded systems.
Power Factory Operations with a Scalable Industrial HMI Framework
Tame the complexity of industrial automation by means of flexible, easily customizable SCADA systems enabling real-time control of any machine from any location.
For the implementation of advanced SCADA systems, Qt Framework’s connectivity tooling and real-time graphics deliver intuitive, responsive, and effective UI applications enabling data-driven decision-making in the industrial process. Beyond the UI layer, Qt is a middleware for industrial automation with out-of-the-box support for connectivity with multiple platforms and devices (Qt Serial Bus), remote desktop accessibility (Qt WebAssembly), cloud and edge connectivity (Qt HTTP Server), and machine-to-machine interaction (Qt Serial Bus, Qt MQTT, Qt OPC UA, Qt GRPC).

Meet Industrial Regulatory Compliance
Create dependable industrial automation software and devices that can be operated in full safety and security, with or without wireless connectivity, through any type of input/output interface—including physical knobs and touch screens.
With its transparent, well-documented code development practices and continuous integration and testing process, the Qt code meets the highest requirements of reliability, resiliency, and functional safety—including possible adherence to the Safety Integrity Levels defined in IEC61508 or DO-178C.
In terms of tooling, the Axivion code analyzer helps you comply with coding guidelines and safety requirements. The Qt Safe Renderer ensures that safety-critical information (e.g., alarms) is promptly displayed under any circumstances. Qt LTS releases deliver stable APIs, ensuring long-lasting competitiveness in the market.
Upgrade Your SCADA System with Advanced 2D and 3D Real-time Graphics
Visualize your industrial data and processes, control the status of your equipment, simulate environments and machines, detect and optimize trends with real-time 2D and 3D graphics.
Qt state-of-the-art real-time graphics enable the visualization of complex data in the form of 2D charts and graphs to quickly identify patterns and trends, but also the creation of immersive 3D experiences for the implementation of simulations and digital twins for testing and optimizing processes, of VR environments for remote maintenance and training, and of robot fleet management systems.
