Tell us where you stand. Get a plan.
Pick the line that describes you, and your plan appears.
Who are you, and where do you start?
Starting from a clean sheet instead? You begin at Extend. We start in simulation, validate the cell before the hardware exists, and go straight to building it.
Workshop, proposal, start.
Every step is a standalone project with clear milestones, typically weeks to a few months, knowledge transfer included.
Workshop
Half a day with your team, at one of your plants or at your site. Together we find the entry point that fits.
Proposal
Within two weeks: a concrete project with milestones, target criteria and effort.
Start
First measurable result in weeks, not months.
Bring your own, or take a setup that works.
voraus runs on standard industrial PCs. Bring your own and we qualify it with you, or take a tested setup and skip the decision.
You have an IPC in mind
Tell us which one. We benchmark it at your cycle time and under load and send you the numbers. If it needs tuning, we do that with you.
One bundle, ready to start
voraus.core on an industrial PC with a real-time kernel, the fieldbus container (PROFINET, EtherCAT or both) with I/O, a robot, real or simulated, and a working example application. One order, one working setup. Add what your case needs:
- Safety: certified relay and safety I/O communication
- Further components on request, specified with you
EtherCAT, PROFINET or both · drives and fieldbus periphery · one robot · one smart camera
A sample, not a ceiling. What one instance carries is set by the hardware you run it on.
Three setups we have specified and testedBeckhoff · Siemens · Rockwell · ctrlX · Festo · Delta Electronics · Advantech · Kontron · Phoenix Contact · WAGO · Dell and many more
voraus runs on standard industrial PCs and edge devices. A corporate hardware standard or a preferred vendor? We specify it with you.
You still have to convince your colleagues. Here are the arguments.
Hire from a bigger pool, ship faster.
You can't hire PLC programmers fast enough, and every machine variant adds maintenance. With voraus your team programs in Python or Rust, one codebase for every variant, tested in simulation. AI agents help write the code.
One toolchain for every machine.
Discontinued components stall lines, and every PLC update means downtime on site. With voraus you swap components without rewriting control, test virtually and update whole fleets over the air.
Finally, IT and OT speak the same language.
Closed systems leave no path for data or updates. voraus runs as containers on standard IPCs, with PROFINET and EtherCAT built in and production data where your IT can use it. The security architecture is designed for the requirements of the CRA.
Level up to Industrial DevOps.
Your control logic is core IP, not legacy. It becomes the blueprint, we move it over side by side, and AI takes the routine work off your desk. The know-how stays yours.
