RTI's infrastructure software enables the development of high-performance process automation systems—distributed control systems and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) applications. RTI's data distribution and messaging software can dramatically improve system throughput, latency, scalability, reliability and security. At the same time, RTI's open architecture and loosely-coupled interfaces slash the cost of software development, integration, upgrades and maintenance.
RTI's technology and expertise have been proven in hundreds of applications including autonomous vehicles, factory automation, power generation and medical instrumentation.
RTI brings the benefits of general-purpose industry standards to high-performance system, many of which have stringent requirements that could previously be satisfied only by proprietary middleware. Supported standards include the Java Message Service (JMS) and Object Management Group (OMG) Data Distribution Service for Real-Time Systems (DDS). DDS is the leading standard for developing and integrating distributed real-time applications and RTI is the world's leading supplier of DDS related software and services.

European Southern Observatory (ESO) selected RTI Data Distribution Service as the most flexible, easy-to-use messaging software that could also meet the real-time requirements of the Adaptive Optics (AO) control system for its Very Large Telescope.
Mevion Medical Systems (formerly Still River Systems) selected RTI messaging software for the MEVION S250 Proton Therapy System. RTI facilitates dramatic reductions in size, cost and complexity.
Varian is using RTI to connect sensors, user display systems and control computers within its NMR and MRI instruments.
RTI and Schneider Electric have partnered to provide the RTPS on-the-wire protocol specification to the automation industry as an open, standard control protocol. Schneider deploys RTI Data Distribution Service as its Global Data solution in its high-end Quantum and Premium PLCs.
NASA is developing prototypes of extraterrestrial surface exploration robots at four major research centers. Although these robots have very different designs and are intended for different missions, they share a common network architecture that uses RTI software.
The Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics (IPP) is building a new control system for its Tokamak nuclear fusion device, known as the ASDEX Upgrade. IPP needed real-time, one-to-many data distribution across multiple platforms, dynamic system reconfiguration, low latency, and impeccable reliability; read how RTI Data Distribution Service delivers on all these requirements.
Nikon has a new generation of Semiconductor fabrication devices. During their redesign effort, Nikon developers focused on these critical issues: reliability, modularity and reconfigurability. They needed an extensible infrastructure that could be used on multiple models of fabrication devices. These new devices use RTI Data Distribution Service to send medium data-rate communications (such as trajectories, commands, and state information) between different computers running different operating systems.
Lockheed Martin's Sea SLICE technology allows ships to operate at higher speeds without sacrificing efficiency. This is enabled by an advanced control system developed using RTI Data Distribution Service.
