Industrial Ethernet, TSN & edge compute, BotBlox Systems
Modern Industrial systems have outgrown the low bandwidth and limited networking capabilities of legacy field buses. As a result, ethernet has become the dominant standard, but the hardware is lacking.
01
Precision Time Protocol
We deliver IEEE1588 (Precision Time Protocol) deterministic latency, in a tiny, low power package
02
Long term operation
Industrial systems require hardware that can perform consistently over extended deployments. BotBlox products are engineered to last.
03
We’re tiny
Industrial systems already have enough components. Networking hardware can't be the thing that takes up all the space.
Four constraints define every industrial network. Here is how BotBlox modules address each one.
Continuous Operation
Industrial lines run 24/7/365. A network failure is not a reset — it is lost production, missed orders and downtime cost measured in thousands per hour.
MTBF > 500 000 h
industrial-grade components, smart derating, and screening for sustained duty
Fanless by default
Ethernet Galvanic Isolation
Wide Thermal Range
Control cabinets sit anywhere from chilled food-processing rooms to hot rolling mills. Network infrastructure must survive regardless of environment
−40 °C to +85 °C operating temperature
full performance across the industrial thermal envelope
Minimum cooling necessary
No thermal derating
Management & TSN
Motion control and machine vision need more than just unmanaged switching. Our hardware provides complex network topologies without the size or power.
Port control
ndustrial equipment doesn’t always conform with features like ethernet auto-negotiation. Our boards can compensate for
IEEE 1588 PTP
Layer 3 routing features
BotBlox hardware integrates directly into industrial networks, working out the box without any configuration necessary.
Empirical field use is the best proof. BotBlox switches hold stable links in magnetic fields and high-risk industrial environments, confirmed by susceptibility testing.
Mission Partnerships
BotBlox hardware is integrated by Danieli Automation – Telerobot, whose inspection robots operate where people can't. The SwitchBlox Nano runs a redundant, loop-protected network inside a compact robot built for Fusion for Energy.
