Build a factory that never stops improving.
voraus ends “never touch a running system”. Every improvement ships like software: developed once, tested virtually, rolled out across the plant. No rewiring, no rewrite, no waiting for a vendor.
We bring automation into the IT age.
voraus pairs the reliability of a classic controller with the flexibility of modern IT: everything the controller does today, plus everything it never could. IT-native and agnostic to the AI models you choose: develop, simulate, test, deploy and improve, like modern software. AI supports it end to end and finally reaches the machine. Any robot, any hardware, any vendor.
Great machines. Stuck in the past. One platform. The whole gap, closed.
Today’s factories rely on two worlds that were never built to work together. IT, where your software, data and AI live, and OT, where robots, drives and controllers run production. IT and OT barely talk, and that gap creates four expensive problems:scarce experts, slow changes, hard lock-in, data you cannot use. One software platform closes the gap for good: develop, simulate and deploy like modern IT, run deterministic control on the floor. Same machines, new speed. Four problems, four answers.
Flip a single card or the whole view, whenever you like.
People are retiring.
PLC expertise is retiring and every expert is locked into a vendor's language. You can't hire replacements fast enough.
Your IT team can run it.
Programmed in Python or Rust. Both used by millions. Tap a far larger talent pool, and let AI agents read and write automation too.
Every change takes months.
Every adaptation means manual, on-site, hardware-by-hardware work: far too slow for shortening product cycles.
Change in minutes.
Test in a virtual copy of your line, then roll out exactly the same software, securely and over the air, across one production line or thousands of devices at once.
Locked into vendors and supply chain.
Proprietary hardware ties you to single suppliers. One delayed part stalls a line; switching means rewriting everything.
Free from any single vendor.
Runs on standard hardware, controls many brands. Swap parts, mix old and new, without rewriting your automation.
Data is trapped and AI never reaches the floor.
Shopfloor data is scattered across machines and formats, never clean enough to use, and no way back down to act in real time.
Your data, unified. And AI that acts.
One platform, and your data becomes usable: clean and central. The loop closes both ways: data flows up, decisions flow back down to the machine.
Wherever you sit in the value chain, voraus fits.
Same platform, very different jobs. Together they cover the whole value chain, from a single machine to the whole enterprise.
Differentiate through software.
Complex, multi-brand turnkey installations and maintenance costs that grow with every variant. One codebase across everything you ship: every production line runs the same software, every fix ships once. Ship one solution globally and source components locally, without touching the application layer.
One universal layer for any hardware.
Strong tech, painful deployment, no way to scale. Run your AI, your vision, your algorithms on whatever hardware your customer demands. Or ship robots, drives and grippers that work with whatever technology your customer runs. Shorter R&D cycles, new functions as updates, faster to market.
Adapt in days, put your data to work.
Batch size one, volatile demand, full sovereignty. Adapt lines in days. Your shopfloor data comes out of the black box and into use. Brownfield comes along without production downtime, and purchasing gets more than one source for IPCs and components. Ask your machine builders for the same layer and their savings become yours.
From the machines you have
to the factory you want.
You don't throw anything away. Your machines stay, your knowledge stays. Start where you are and the gains keep adding up. The future arrives as an update. Four ways in, depending on where you stand today.
Read, don’t touch.
You start by reading, not touching: data made readable and cleaned with voraus, knowledge preserved before your experts leave. No intervention. You end up with clean data and your experts' knowledge on record.
Control what you already run.
You keep the machines and change the control: voraus drops onto what you already run and brings mixed, multi-vendor hardware under one software roof. Nothing to tear out.
Modernize without stopping.
The old control stays wherever it still does its job. New automation is developed and tested virtually, then runs beside it. Migrate one cell at a time, at your own pace.
Design in pure software.
Plan and validate whole lines before they physically exist, deploy to standard hardware, control in real time, then keep on improving release after release.
You're never alone.
Our team works shoulder to shoulder with yours, from first analysis and proof of concept to full rollout, transferring know-how at every step. Your people own the transformation, not just rent it. The software does the work. The partnership makes it stick.
No rip-and-replace, no big-bang project. You start where you are, and the platform grows with the plant.
Working with the companies that build and run modern industry.
Your factory never stops improving: tell us where you stand, and you get the plan to start.
