Why industrial automation?
Manufacturing is powered by industrial automation—computerized systems and robotics running on PLCs. This ecosystem uses a unique graphical language that doesn’t work with typical developer tools like GitLab or GitHub. Instead, automation professionals rely on physical storage devices, incompatible tools, and incomplete solutions. When minutes of downtime can cost tens of thousands of dollars, better development tools are urgently needed.
