Software platform for automation

We offer a platform that replaces traditional solutions. Executable as a container on any device – IPC, edge device, Kubernetes, and in the cloud.

Programmed in a high-level language (Python) and at the same time without compromises, even with the highest real-time requirements. Our runtime including drivers, fieldbuses, motion planning and interface as well as our development environment including simulation and test infrastructure combine IT and OT to perfection.

Control and orchestration in real time

Containerized and capable of running on any control hardware, you orchestrate the entire cell including drives, robots, tools, conveyor belts or any other fieldbus component – all in one platform and in real time.

01 / Compatible

Universal

  • Orchestrates your entire automation cell.
  • Supports any type of robot.
  • Seamless integration of peripheral devices.
  • Encapsulation of drivers avoids vendor lock.

01 / Efficiency

Streamlined

  • Sustainable development thasnks to versioning and repo management.
  • One-click deployment with test pipeline and compatibility check.
  • Rapid development and therefore up to 70 % reduced costs.

02 / Simulation & Testing

IT-driven

  • Decouples software development from hardware availability.
  • Your application runs and can be tested in simulation.
  • The DevOps toolchain ensures high code quality.
