Product Overview

Software-Defined Industrial Control Platform

AnyPLC is an industrial control platform built around two core components: a deterministic SoftPLC runtime and a project-centric engineering IDE. Together they provide a structured environment for designing, deploying, and operating industrial control applications on modern compute infrastructure.

Platform Scope

AnyPLC combines a deterministic control runtime and a modern engineering environment into a single platform designed not only for controller programming, but also for managing the full lifecycle of an industrial system.

The platform is built for software-defined industrial architectures where control logic must be portable, the runtime environment observable, changes controlled, and integration with open infrastructure a natural part of the system.

Platform Core

Stage 1

In the first stage, we launch the product core that is already available today: a deterministic virtual PLC runtime together with a project-centric engineering development environment for building, deploying, and operating control applications.

vPLC runtime

The vPLC runtime executes control logic using a deterministic scheduling model and explicit resource management.

It runs on qualified industrial PC platforms and is designed to support deployment on virtualized and container-based environments.

Engineering IDE

The engineering IDE provides a structured workflow for building control projects.

Applications are composed from function blocks, connections, and project configuration that define execution order, runtime behavior, and deployment artifacts.

Stage 2

In the second stage, AnyPLC evolves from a combination of an execution environment and an engineering development environment into a broader operational platform layer. It includes orchestration, baseline host OS setup, and extended monitoring, creating a foundation for comprehensive management of next-generation software-defined industrial automation.

OS Configuration Services

Services for baseline operating system setup and controlled host configuration required for predictable runtime behavior.

Monitoring Services

Services for collecting runtime telemetry, operational diagnostics, and system-level monitoring across deployed nodes.

Orchestration Service

A service layer for managing runtime placement, operational lifecycle, and distributed resource coordination across devices in the network.

AnyPLC separates control logic from the underlying hardware platform.

Instead of binding applications to a specific controller family, the runtime executes them on general-purpose industrial compute systems.

This architecture enables portable control applications, clearer lifecycle management, and integration with modern infrastructure environments.

Key Capabilities

Deterministic Runtime

Runs control logic on qualified IPC platforms with deterministic scheduling and explicit resource management. Designed to support deployment on virtualized and container-based environments.

Extensible Engineering Model

Supports composite function blocks, Lua-based blocks, and scripting-oriented expansion paths for advanced automation workflows.

Operational Flexibility

Supports monitoring, forcing, and controlled evolution of control logic during operation without controller reboot cycles.

What Changes Architecturally

Control Becomes Portable

Deterministic execution is no longer tied to one proprietary hardware family.

Software Evolves Incrementally

Applications, supporting logic, and service layers can be updated in a staged, controlled way.

Extensibility Becomes Native

Runtime and IDE can grow with scripting, custom blocks, diagnostics, and ecosystem integrations.

Why It Matters

Industrial automation systems often operate for decades while surrounding computing infrastructure evolves much faster.

The architectural approach behind AnyPLC shows that real-time control can be portable across bare metal, virtual machines, and container environments when engineering discipline and resource isolation are applied correctly.

This creates a practical path toward open automation, reduced hardware dependence, and platform architectures that better fit long-lived industrial systems.
