Automation, Automotive, and other industries
In addition to improving the generic product offering according to feedback from customers and focused industries, we also have some items developed especially for the needs of certain industries. These are available for any industry but expected to be most relevant for the one they are named after. Prime examples of these are Qt for Automation and Qt Automotive Suite.
To learn more about Qt for Automation, check the blog post introducing it. The main items we have been cooking for 2018 are fully supported MQTT, KNX and OPC/UA implementations. Qt Mqtt and Qt Knx technology preview have been available since last year and both will be fully supported with the upcoming releases of Qt. Qt OpcUa is a new item, which we aim to first provide as a technology preview with Qt 5.11 and then finalize it for use with Qt 5.12 based on the feedback.
Qt Automotive Suite, available since 2016 is reaching 2.0 version soon. Based on Qt 5.9 LTS, Qt Automotive Suite 2.0 is a combination of automotive specific functionality from The Qt Company and our partners KDAB and Luxoft. Version 2.0 bundles with the Qt Safe Renderer, Qt 3D Studio, and includes an overhaul of QtIVI with the ability to generate APIs from an QFace IDL, improvements and added features to the Neptune UI, Application Manager and the GammaRay runtime introspector.
