Intelligent End-to-End Solutions for Industrial Modernization
Industrial modernization and the shift to smart manufacturing has sparked innovations in automation, robotics, and the industrial IoT (IIoT). Introducing artificial intelligence (AI), interoperability, and secure connectivity enables real-time monitoring, control, and optimization of processes, resources, and systems—all of which can lead to increased productivity, improved safety, and reduced costs.
Arm’s scalable solutions and strong ecosystem of partners allow our customers to operate seamlessly across a single architecture from sensor to cloud, while addressing varied performance, real-time, functional safety, and security needs.
What's the Future for Industrial Automation and Smart Manufacturing?

Project Cassini
Enterprises and application developers are familiar with the diversity of silicon and software offerings, and the vendor choice inherent in the Arm ecosystem. The successful and timely deployment of services at the edge to support multiple use cases across industrial needs rests on a near-seamless experience on-boarding and securely managing cloud native stacks across heterogeneous systems. Project Cassini promotes standards-based approaches to platform software and platform security to showcase the secure deployment of cloud native stacks at the edge through ecosystem-driven edge reference implementations.
Smart Manufacturing on Arm
Arm technology enables workload consolidation with a single, scalable architecture and a portfolio of advanced heterogeneous solutions, helping to reduce hardware infrastructure and energy consumption. Arm-based technology provides the right processing power for a wide range of factory applications, from small control modules to complex robotics using computer vision and machine learning (ML).
Arm technology provides reliability, precision, and low latency for efficient, continuous industrial operations, regardless of cycle-time requirement. Our extensive portfolio of scalable processors supports predictive maintenance and machine-to-machine communications, so equipment repairs can be planned before faults occur and production lines can be monitored and adjusted in real time.
Our security solutions are designed to protect hardware, software and networks by preventing physical and remote interference. Our comprehensive approach ensures the right level of robustness to match each application’s needs, whether securing cyber-physical systems, protecting data or defending products from counterfeiting and cloning. Arm security products support PSA Certified - an independent certification scheme mapped to key industry standards, including IEC 62443 which is designed to secure industrial automation and control systems (IACS).
Integrated functional safety is critical to safeguarding the working environment. Arm offers advanced technologies compliant with international safety certifications, such as IEC 61508. Our Safety Ready portfolio supports the highest levels of functional safety required for human-to-machine interaction. A collaborative approach to manufacturing enables autonomous robots to undertake repetitive and mundane tasks reliably, while humans can focus on critical thinking and complex production line decisions.
