Wind River, an Aptiv company, announced that Superheat will use its eLxr Pro software to power next-generation industrial controllers for advanced onsite heat treatment solutions. The controllers are deployed across critical applications in oil, gas, energy, shipyard, aerospace, and defense sectors. eLxr Pro will support Superheat’s proprietary wireless-remote heat treatment control systems, which operate in demanding field environments and require reliable performance over extended service lifecycles.
“We are thrilled to support Superheat on its mission toward innovating onsite heat treatment,” said Sandeep Modhvadia, Chief Product Officer, Wind River. “With Wind River, Superheat can further advance its unique portfolio of heat treatment solutions and services while adhering to high levels of safety, security, and quality. This will enable accelerated innovation, improved efficiency, and reduced costs while delivering secure, compliant, and reliable solutions.”
“Security, compliance, and system integrity requirements continue to rise across industrial and aerospace and defense markets. As our customers operate in increasingly regulated and security-conscious environments, Wind River’s eLxr Pro provides the hardened Linux foundation required to support Superheat’s mission-critical industrial systems,” said Ryan Barnes, Director, IT, Superheat.
The selection of eLxr Pro enables secure deployment, maintenance, and system updates across extended operational lifecycles in industrial, aerospace, and defense environments. It maintains the performance, reliability, and security required for mission-critical heat treatment operations.
eLxr Pro is built on the open-source Debian-based eLxr community distribution and adds commercial-grade support, maintenance, and hardening for production environments. It allows Superheat to scale Linux across cloud-to-edge deployments while meeting the performance and operational requirements of industrial workloads and regulated industries.
The software provides comprehensive Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) coverage, enabling enhanced visibility into security risks and proactive vulnerability management across the full device lifecycle. It also ensures that cryptographic implementations meet rigorous aerospace and defense standards.
Superheat is a global leader in advanced onsite heat treatment solutions. Its vision is to advance onsite heat treatment for the digital marketplace by redefining how critical projects are planned, executed, and verified in the field. The company combines technical expertise with proprietary digital solutions for remote operation, real-time monitoring, and data-driven quality control.
