The requirements for automation are increasing exponentially, but the tools have hardly changed in 30 years. A new cloud approach now promises to use contextual AI to generate not only control logic but also HMI visualizations almost fully automatically.

At SPS 2025, logiccloud will present the new version of its software-defined automation platform. In addition to numerous new features and improvements, one highlight takes center stage: an AI assistant revolutionizes the development of automation apps and shows how we will create automation solutions in the future.

Traditionally, the hardware PLC has been the heart of every machine. Individual cells and machine modules are then connected via additional PLCs to form modular production lines—so in large plants, dozens or even hundreds of controllers are often in use.

Many companies in the mechanical and plant engineering sector deliberately avoid public cloud solutions - whether for security reasons, due to compliance requirements or because of the US CLOUD Act, which allows authorities to access data from US hosts outside the USA.
