Bosch Rexroth appoints Grossenbacher Automation as ctrlX OS OEM partner

Bosch Rexroth announced that Swiss firm Grossenbacher Automation AG has become a new OEM partner for its open‑source ctrlX OS platform. The partnership adds Grossenbacher’s Smart Panel, Web Panel and Smart Controller products, all built on the Linux‑based ctrlX OS and using ARM CPUs.

The Smart Panel combines HMI visualization and PLC control functions in a single ARM‑based device, while the Web Panel provides web‑based visualisation for ctrlX CORE X3 and X5 controllers. The Smart Controller is a compact, real‑time industrial controller aimed at lower‑power automation tasks. According to Steffen Winkler, sales head of Bosch Rexroth’s Automation & Electrification Solutions Business Unit, the new OEM partnership expands the ctrlX OS ecosystem with ready‑to‑use HMI‑PLCs and control solutions, reducing engineering effort and time‑to‑market without requiring different operating systems or proprietary software.
