From the idea to secure operation. Develop automation solutions faster with AI, choose the hardware that fits and keep delivered systems up to date centrally. logiccloud brings engineering, execution and operation together in one AI platform – so your experts can focus on demanding work and your costs fall across the whole lifecycle. Develop with AI. Choose your hardware freely. Operate systems securely. - ### Keep your software. Choose your hardware freely. logiccloud CONTROL Lower your automation costs and stay independent of hardware vendors. With logiccloud CONTROL you run your **IEC 61131-3 virtual PLC, web HMI and connectivity in one container** – directly on the device or as a **cloud-native PLC in the data centre**. Develop once, choose your hardware freely and deploy your automation solution flexibly wherever you need it. **Lower hardware costs, faster engineering and maximum investment security.** [Discover CONTROL](https://logiccloud.com/en/products/control/) - ### Lower service costs. Faster response times. logiccloud ORCHESTRATE Look after more delivered systems with your existing team. Access your devices’ web interfaces securely and directly – **without a VPN and without a site visit.** Analyse faults, adjust settings and distribute software updates centrally and remotely – from a single device to thousands of systems. That way you cut service costs, shorten response times and increase the availability of your systems. A complete audit trail documents every change and makes CRA evidence easier to provide. [Discover ORCHESTRATE](https://logiccloud.com/en/products/orchestrate/) - ### Delegate automation tasks. logiccloud DELEGATE Describe your task. The AI proposes the optimal workflow, and AI agents carry it out. Your experts make the decisions, review the results and grant the release. Every step stays documented. You save validated workflows for later, traceable reuse. That cuts planning and routine effort, secures proven knowledge and gets solutions to your customers faster.

New · logiccloud agent-kit ## AI agents: from code to rollout Through open MCP interfaces, the AI agent of your choice works directly with CONTROL and ORCHESTRATE: write Structured Text, build in the cloud, adapt the HMI, deploy to devices and roll out in stages. You choose the agent — Claude Code, Codex, opencode or another MCP client. Before a rollout the agent shows a dry run and asks; batch approvals in ORCHESTRATE stay with admins.
