Additionally, SDA introduces the first AI agent for PLC programmers, covering multiple automation stacks.

Key Points: 
  • Additionally, SDA introduces the first AI agent for PLC programmers, covering multiple automation stacks.
  • Most industrial automation vendors offer proprietary hardware and protocols, and their respective integrated development environments (IDEs) require PLC programmers to run different software versions locally on their Engineering PCs.
  • Software Defined Automation (SDA) announces new features for its end-to-end Industrial DevOps solution, which not only enhances the productivity of automation engineers and the resilience of industrial manufacturing customers but also reduces operating costs.
  • "We are dedicated to delivering the finest solutions for the automation industry," says Dr. Josef Waltl, Co-Founder and CEO of Software Defined Automation.
