A fully self-controllable software foundation for PLC, DCS and intelligent controllers: 1ms hard real-time control, multi-protocol SOA industrial communication and native edge AI, systematically validated on domestic processor platforms.
Runtimes and programming environments for mid-to-high-end PLCs have long depended on overseas vendors, with embedded software accounting for 20%–40% of PLC cost. Control systems remain tightly coupled to hardware, while OT/IT convergence and edge AI become new imperatives. AutoMinds answers all three with a fully self-controllable software foundation: decoupled hardware, native AI, native connectivity.
Hard real-time · Multi-protocol · Native edge AI
A Real-Time Control Plane (microsecond scheduling precision, EtherCAT master, 802.1AS time sync) and a general application domain (AI / LLMs, HMI, analytics) run in isolation without interfering with each other.
SOA unified access layer: OPC UA, MQTT, Modbus TCP/RTU, EtherNet/IP, PROFIBUS, EtherCAT and TSN (802.1Qbv), with plug-in extensibility for new protocols.
Compatible with existing PLC ecosystems and engineering assets: SoftPLC Runtime configuration and monitoring, data and persistence integration, redundancy framework coordination and unified lifecycle management.
Leverages on-chip NPUs in domestic SoCs to run visual inspection, predictive maintenance and process optimization locally; AI output reaches the control domain as advice, with final decisions made by control logic.
Four-level watchdogs (task / service / system / hardware), hot / warm / cold redundancy, fail-safe states, controlled degradation, crash snapshots and core dumps.
Application sandboxing, ACM service-level authentication and authorization, communication encryption and key management, secure boot and OTA signature verification (A/B rollback), building on the AutoCore.OS functional-safety framework.
A software foundation for next-generation intelligent PLC / DCS controllers, running hard real-time control and intelligent applications on one device.
On-site visual inspection, equipment predictive maintenance and process optimization with data that never leaves the plant.
OPC UA / MQTT connects directly to MES, ERP and cloud platforms, opening the data channel from shop floor to enterprise management.
