Industries must increasingly bridge IT and OT, but legacy systems, siloed operations, and rising complexity slow progress. As part of the interview format Die Rote Couch, Sandeep Modhvadia, Chief Product Officer at Wind River, explains how Wind River's Edge-AI-Portfolio helps leading manufacturers achieve true IT/OT convergence with modern, mission-critical infrastructure platforms.

At Embedded World 2026, Wind River presents an Edge AI End-to-end foundational platform, tools and modular infrastructure to reliably build, deploy, and scale Edge AI across any device. With it, Wind River offers customers proven strategies and architectures that enable secure, reliable, and scalable operations from the intelligent edge to centralized cloud orchestration – driving measurable business impact through lower TCO, optimized asset utilization, and new data-driven revenue streams.

Responding to a clear trend

Edge AI is reshaping business outcomes. However, this comes with challenges: It introduces new real time and deterministic requirements. As AI models evolve and workloads grow, manufacturers will have to think through how to approach long term scalability, versioning, and lifecycle management of edge applications.

Most edge systems today were not designed for a continuous AI lifecycle, but were designed to operate deterministically, remain stable, and avoid change. AI demands the opposite: frequent updates, flexible compute allocation, and an ability to ingest new intelligence without disrupting mission-critical workflows.

Here, Wind River comes into play: with long, proven history and expertise in Edge and Cloud-native technology, the company helps enabling this convergence and push the shift towards embedding cloud-native practices into real-time systems. Its platform strategy brings together the required components of the continuous Edge AI lifecycle.
