Red Hat, a leading provider of open-source solutions, announced that it has joined The Linux Foundation's Margo Initiative as a steering committee member to enhance interoperability in industrial automation environments. Supported by some of the largest global automation ecosystem providers, Margo defines the mechanisms for interoperability between edge applications, devices, workloads, and orchestration software and plans to deliver interoperability through an open standard, reference implementation and comprehensive compliance testing toolkit.

Red Hat joins founding members—ABB, Capgemini, Microsoft, Rockwell Automation, Schneider Electric, and Siemens along with other like-minded organizations that are innovating in the industrial automation software space. Margo’s open standard aims to bring much needed flexibility, simplicity, and scalability to the industrial automation space, unlocking barriers to modernization in complex, multi-vendor environments and accelerating digital transformation for organizations of all sizes. The associated reference implementation and compliance test toolkit will be designed to deliver more seamless adoption and build trust in Margo’s interoperability promise.
