SQFlash SSDs with sTLC (or so-called pseudo SLC) Flash technology are changing the game for data storage and retrieval in automated manufacturing environments.

Factory automation plays a crucial role in maintaining efficiency and productivity. Automated machines and systems operate 24/7. These systems rely on large amounts of data, including sensor data, machine data and production data, which needs to be stored and processed in real-time to ensure optimal performance and prevent downtime.
Data from sensors and other devices is used to control manufacturing processes and ensure product quality. This data must be reliable and quickly available.
Previous SSDs used single-level cell (SLC) flash memory, which stored one bit of data in each cell. This provided fast read/write speeds and high durability, but at a high price and low density, which could not adequately fulfil high demand for data storage and processing.
SQFlash SSDs with sTLC Flash technology utilise modern 3D TLC Flash and enhance durability to the SLC level. It accomplishes this feat at 50k and 100k program-erase cycles. IT can process data at speeds sufficient to process the massive data generated at an automated factory.
SQFlash sTLC Flash storage is designed to withstand the rigours of continuous use, making it ideal for applications that require 24/7 operation. It provides the necessary performance and reliability to handle demanding workloads and ensure that content is always available when needed. It does this while offering speed and durability similar to that of SLC Flash storage while supporting larger data storage and processing throughput.
