From the 26th to the 28th of May, we invite you to visit us at our Telestar partner booth, Hall 05 – Booth C040, where we will demonstrate our new MaxRT product family.

To unify and extend its product offerings, IntervalZero has merged RTX64 and KINGSTAR into a new product family: MaxRT. This family comprises two products:

1. MaxRT wRTOS™: Delivers hard real-time capabilities for Windows and is the next generation of RTX64. It prioritizes full integration with Windows and easy development.
2. MaxRT vRTOS: A real-time hypervisor-based solution with IntervalZero’s RTOS, which can be deployed with a general-purpose operating system (GPOS) like Windows or Linux, enhancing cybersecurity and flexibility.

Furthermore, all existing RTX64 and KINGSTAR options are available across the MaxRT products. These include real-time networking (TCP/IP, gPTP, TSN), EtherCAT main devices and tools, machine vision (GENICAM, GIGE Vision), motion control (PTP, synchronization, blending), and PLC capabilities.

If you are interested in a personal conversation with us, please schedule an appointment as soon as possible so we can reserve enough time to answer all your questions.

We thank you and hope to see you soon at SPS Italia in Parma!

​IntervalZero Announces MaxRT wRTOS™ 1.0 — All-Software Platform For Building Industrial Control Systems (ICS) in the Cyber‑Resilience and AI Era

March 2, 2026 – Waltham, MA — IntervalZero today announced the general availability of MaxRT wRTOS™ 1.0, a major evolution in software used to build Industrial Control Systems (ICS).

MaxRT wRTOS™ unifies the company’s RTX64 RTOS-based and KINGSTAR machine automation product lines into a single, modern, all‑software platform. MaxRT enables machine builders to design, deploy, and manage real‑time industrial control systems built for the demands of cyber resilience, IT/OT integration, IoT, and AI.

“MaxRT represents a significant leap forward for machine builders that seek to build industrial controls systems.” said Jeff Hibbard, CEO of IntervalZero. “By integrating the strengths of RTX64 and KINGSTAR, we’re giving OEMs tools to build an ICS when microseconds matter.”

The release arrives as machine builders prepare for the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), which mandates timely security patching and increases operational and compliance burdens. MaxRT introduces the architectural foundation that will help customers prepare for CRA now and then modernize their ability to develop, deploy and manage remotely from the cloud in the future.

“We are thrilled to partner with IntervalZero in bringing MaxRT to market,” said Gianluigi Magnasco, Product Manager at Telestar. “This innovative product family will empower our customers to achieve new levels of precision and shorten their time to market.”

Key advancements in MaxRT wRTOS™ 1.0 include:

• Modernized Networking: Redesigned NL2 layer; EtherCAT and features that support TSN implementations; secure real‑time and non‑real‑time networking; Network Relay for single‑NIC for Windows and vRTOS operations; IEC/IEEE 60802 profile support.
• Modularization: New modular architecture improving quality, simplifying releases, and preparing for MaxRT vRTOS hypervisor-based solution.
• Streamlined Tools: New Settings Tool, updated Analyzer and Control Panel, Visual Studio 2022/2019/2017 support, and coexistence with previous SDKs.
• Broad OS Compatibility: Support for latest 64‑bit Windows editions including Windows 11 (25H2, 24H2, 23H2).

With this release, IntervalZero officially consolidates its real‑time and machine‑automation technologies under the MaxRT wRTOS™ brand, simplifying the product line and establishing the foundation for a unified, software‑defined industrial control platform.

Visit us at SPS Smart Productions Solutions (Nuremberg – Nov 12-14th, 2024) – Hall 5 – Stand 111

This year, IntervalZero presents our Real-Time platform (RTX64) and Machine Automation software platform (KINGSTAR).

KINGSTAR is committed to open standards (Windows 64 Bits, RTX64 RTOS, EtherCAT, IEC61131-3, OPC-UA), which protect our customers’ investments and capitalize on those standards to free machine builders from dependence on any hardware vendor. This is done through features like plug-and-play EtherCAT, which enables the customer to optimize their machine controller for any smart factory setting.

Using a single industrial PC, you can quickly and cost-effectively replace multiple hardware controllers with software-only motion controllers and machine vision.

KINGSTAR has been architected to allow developers to select only the functionalities they need for the scope of their project and to quickly assemble the system by relying on its plug-and-play capability.

KINGSTAR is based on:

KINGSTAR Fieldbus powered by EtherCAT – EtherCAT Master stack and tools for Windows with the following optional features:

• KINGSTAR Motion – PLC Open Motion control libraries (PTP, Synchronization, Blending…) and tools
• KINGSTAR PLC – Software PLC
• KINGSTAR Vision – Real-time GigE Vision solution
