Manufacturing Plants
Modernize plant control without replacing the hardware.
Bring the control layer under version control, run virtual PLCs alongside what you already have, and stop taking upgrade decisions on somebody else's schedule.
Modernize the control layer, keep the plant
The field wiring stays. What changes is what you can see, prove and restore.
Zero lock-in, any hardware
When one vendor sets the price of the toolchain, the spare parts and the upgrades, your roadmap is theirs. Standardize your logic on one hardware-agnostic model across microcontrollers, Linux IPCs and virtual PLCs on servers. Keep the field wiring you already have, and source the best hardware for each project without rewriting code.
Modern, AI-assisted engineering
The people who know your installed toolchain are retiring, and their replacements need a vendor course for each brand. Autonomy replaces 1990s-era IDEs with a browser-based workspace supporting the IEC 61131-3 languages, Python and C++, plus an AI copilot. You hire for an international standard, and new engineers are productive the same day.
IT-grade fleet operations
The last known-good program is on a laptop that left with a contractor two years ago. Autonomy manages controllers the way IT manages cloud containers: over-the-air deployments over mTLS, Git branches and visual diffs, and role-based permissions. You know what runs on every line and who changed it, and restoring a line becomes a routine deployment.
Secure, deterministic, built to last
Cyber Security regulations turn "it has always run like that" into an audit finding with a deadline. Autonomy's lightweight real-time runtime is built for segmented OT networks. Its open core has been hardened by a decade of deployments worldwide and is patched continuously, so long-lived assets stay maintainable and secure.
One open core, with enterprise capabilities on top
Open-source control at the base. Version control, backup and recovery, unit testing, fleet orchestration and AI are added by the Autonomy Suite.
OpenPLC Desktop
The industry's leading open-source automation stack: an intuitive IEC 61131-3 IDE, a robust runtime and the high-performance StruC++ compiler. It's a transparent, battle-tested foundation your team can inspect, with no proprietary lock-in, and the same logic runs on every controller in your estate.
Autonomy Edge
The cloud control plane for your whole estate. Deploy, monitor and manage fleets of virtual PLCs across lines and sites. It includes enterprise Git version control, backup of every revision, multi-user collaboration, cloud or on-premise orchestration over mTLS, and an AI copilot.
Autonomy Node
The embedded execution engine. A lightweight, containerized runtime that turns standard industrial hardware into a deterministic control node, sitting next to the I/O you already have. Its zero-install web IDE is served by the device itself, so maintenance teams can work from any browser.
