NTX Embedded Octolux® RDS Accelerates Development of Intelligent Industrial Equipment with Embedded Machine Learning

The comprehensive, easy-to-use Octolux RDS platform fast-tracks design of AI-powered HMI/control systems, enabling proof-of-concept and validation in just 12 weeks  

News highlights:

• New sensor suite and training flows enable designers to integrate farthest edge AI capabilities, bringing intelligence reliably to the data source.
• Fast simulation/data collection for quick verification of a working concept is achieved with plug-and-play design platform.
• Proven building blocks/expert technical support significantly accelerate system validation.
• Fully-integrated, optimized designs include production-grade hardware/software and have end-to-end supply chain control.  
• Dedicated long-lifespan support consists of UX/UI development, control software, form factor optimization and world-class manufacturing services.

CARROLLTON, TX, September 8, 2026 – NTX Embedded, an end-to-end industrial solutions partner with proven expertise in providing innovative design services and systems-level manufacturing, today announced new embedded AI capabilities for its Octolux® RDS (Rapid Development System). Combining edge-AI capabilities with its proven hardware blocks, designers can immediately prototype systems utilizing embedded machine learning, sensor fusion, and advanced motor control while launching immersive HMI solutions.   

Industrial equipment is rapidly evolving from deterministic control systems into intelligent machines capable of predicting failures, adapting to operating conditions, optimizing performance and improving operator interaction. These capabilities require machine learning to execute where data is created—inside the equipment itself.

These edge AI functions add to the already comprehensive set of Octolux RDS development building blocks giving industrial control engineers the ability to rapidly define and fully validate a working pre-production system in just 12 weeks. This accelerated pathway, from concept definition to system production, enables OEMs to meet aggressive market window goals with systems that successfully deliver in-demand embedded artificial intelligence, higher efficiency, improved control, security, and enhanced connectivity.

“Industrial OEMs understand that AI will define the next generation of equipment.  Using our revolutionary Octolux RDS platform with additional toolsets that provide telemetry and analytics at the equipment sub-system level lets our customers seize this opportunity. They can now deliver the most advanced embedded control system at the speed of AI. Integrating intelligence at the farthest edge is a game-changer in terms of providing predictive maintenance, resilience and reliability that lowers operational costs while maximizing productivity,” said Doug Cougle, senior vice president of operations and business development at NTX Embedded. 

Meeting industrial application trends to upgrade from knobs, switches and LED segment displays, NTX Embedded’s immersive HMI and intuitive full suite of UX/UI designs lets customers easily deliver cutting-edge, intelligent, connected systems.  To significantly shorten the innovation process, Octolux RDS includes standard blocks, software and firmware development, hardware system design and integration, mechanical design, regulatory compliance; along with full production support. All-inclusive, it also includes ruggedized HMI and daughter boards that streamline development, simplify assembly and increase reliability.

“Octolux RDS provides engineers with a repeatable framework for developing intelligent embedded systems. Rather than assembling evaluation boards, AI software, control electronics and production hardware from multiple suppliers, engineers can immediately focus on building differentiated machine intelligence using a platform already designed for production,” said Bob Griswold, vice president of engineering at NTX Embedded.

Intelligent production equipment capabilities achieved with machine learning at the farthest edge:

• Predictive maintenance
• Equipment health monitoring
• Adaptive motor control
• Intelligent HMI experiences
• Sensor fusion
• Anomaly detection
• Reduced cloud dependence
• Deterministic real-time decisions

NTX Embedded will demonstrate all the faster development and design benefits of Octolux RDS including its new edge AI features at embedded world North America, September 22-24 in Anaheim, CA, booth #6522.
