Tell us where you stand. Get a plan.
Pick the line that describes you, and your plan appears. No form to fill in, no sales call needed to see it.
Tell us who you are, and pick your entry point.
Four steps, and one way that runs beside them. Every step is a standalone project with clear milestones and knowledge transfer included.
Starting from a clean sheet instead? Then steps 01 to 04 fall away and you begin at Extend. We start in simulation, validate the cell before the hardware exists, and go straight to building it.
Workshop, proposal, start.
Half a day with your team, at one of your plants or at your site. Together we find the entry point that fits.
Within two weeks: a concrete project with milestones, target criteria and effort.
First measurable result in weeks, not months.
Bring your own, or take a setup that works.
voraus runs on standard industrial PCs. Bring the one you have in mind and we qualify it with you, or take a pre-configured setup and skip the decision. Either way you end up with a machine that holds real time under load.
You have an IPC in mind
Tell us which one. We run our real-time benchmark on it, at your cycle time and under load, and send you the numbers. If it holds, you keep what you have. If it needs tuning to get there, we do that with you.
One bundle, ready to start
voraus.core on an industrial PC, with a robot, real or simulated, the fieldbus container (PROFINET, EtherCAT or both) with I/O, and a working example application, all on Debian with a real-time kernel. 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.
Whoever brings this in has to argue for it. Here are your points.
Hire from a bigger pool, ship faster.
You can't hire PLC programmers fast enough, and every fleet variant multiplies maintenance costs. voraus opens the global IT talent pool: high-level languages, one hardware-agnostic codebase, simulation-first CI/CD. Faster to market, cheaper to run, ready for AI.
One toolchain for every machine.
Discontinued components stall lines, and every PLC update means downtime on site. With voraus you swap vendors without rewriting control, test virtually before rollout, and update whole fleets over the air. You see what your lines actually do, so you can plan ahead instead of reacting.
Finally, IT and OT speak the same language.
Your OT is standardized, just not for this decade: closed systems, no path for data, no path for updates. voraus is the IT/OT bridge: a containerized runtime on standard IPCs, PROFINET and EtherCAT built in, and production data where your IT can actually use it. The security architecture is aligned with the CRA.
Level up to Industrial DevOps.
Your decades of control logic are core IP, not legacy waste. voraus upgrades your toolset: your logic becomes the blueprint, we transition it side by side, and you level up to Industrial DevOps. AI takes the routine work off your desk; the expert knowledge stays yours and goes into the system.
