You're an OT expert.
Not an IT specialist.
Every year your industrial edge becomes more software-defined.
Every new application, AI model or update creates one more dependency on IT.
Barbara handles the infrastructure,
so your team can focus on operations.
What you get
Real operational results, from day one.
Bring your own or use one of our pre-packaged apps.
Containers, models and compose files, from the Marketplace or your own registry. One workflow for every workload.
From a single place, with the same effort it takes to manage one.
Group devices, roll out in batches and track every device from one control plane.
Deploy, update and troubleshoot every site remotely.
Remote access, remote updates and remote fixes. No truck rolls, no SSH sessions.
No rip and replace, Barbara runs on any industrial hardware.
x86 or ARM, 1U servers or industrial PCs. Barbara Core installs on what is already in your plants.
Getting industrial software into production only takes a few clicks.
Package, deploy and go live in a few clicks. Most rollouts take days, not quarters.
A True Industrial Platform
Built for OT, not adapted from IT.
Barbara was built for industrial operations from the ground up, instead of being a generic IT container platform adapted to the plant.
1
No platform team required
Deploy and manage industrial applications, AI models and the devices they run on in a few clicks. No command lines, no black screens. Barbara handles the IT complexity so your OT team doesn't have to.
2
A large industrial ecosystem
Ignition, Grafana, InfluxDB, soft PLCs, AI models: the applications your operations already know and use, pre-configured and ready to install in a few clicks. No custom development.
3
Built for critical infrastructure
Barbara Core is an OT-native cybersecure operating system: secure boot, encrypted OTA updates and automatic failover give you industrial-grade reliability, out of the box. Barbara Panel holds a certificate of conformity to IEC 62443-4-2.
OT autonomy
Stop opening tickets to IT.
A configuration change. A new deployment. An update. None of it should wait in an IT queue. With Barbara your OT team runs the edge directly, without depending on another team to move.
Good for OT
Deploy, reconfigure and fix the moment operations need it. No queue, no waiting.
Good for IT
Fewer tickets and a lighter workload. IT/OT convergence without IT becoming the bottleneck.
Barbara vs. Kubernetes-based platforms
Different platforms for different teams.
Barbara and Kubernetes-based platforms solve the same problem for different teams. Kubernetes-based platforms are excellent for IT organizations running cloud-native infrastructure, but Kubernetes was never built for intermittent connectivity, legacy hardware or industrial security.
| Platform |  | Kubernetes-based platforms |
|---|---|---|
| Designed for | OT teams | IT platform teams |
| Time to first deployment | Days | Weeks |
| Operations | UI-first, no CLI required, API available | YAML, GitOps and CLI |
| Edge fleet management | Built-in fleet management | Requires additional tooling |
| Industrial app ecosystem | 150+ ready-to-deploy applications | Containers only |
| Industrial connectivity | Native OPC UA, Modbus, MQTT, Sparkplug B | Third-party integrations |
| Infrastructure footprint | Optimized for constrained edge devices | Higher infrastructure overhead |
| Security | OT-hardened; Barbara Panel holds an IEC 62443-4-2 certificate of conformity | Enterprise security model |
