Industrial-Control-as-a-Service for Automation Engineers
We provide Industrial-Control-as-a-Service for automation engineers by turning Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) into software functions – freeing industrial automation from the constraints of vendor specific hardware.
This enables new degrees of freedom, increased productivity and improved resilience for manufacturers. Our offering is centered around cloud-based PLC management (TechOps), modern PLC code versioning and Git based collaboration (DevOps) as well as virtualization of PLCs on non proprietary servers (Virtual PLC).
SDA TechOps
Manage industrial controls like software systems with full transparency of deployed code and automated application changes, reducing manual effort for automation engineers, and increasing traceability of changes.
