Technology
ConSynSys Technologies ProCaaSo™ Platform is a modern solution for modern manufacturing
Legacy process control
Monolithic code: Small changes equal core code changes
Extremely inefficient: Integrators often needed for updates
Inflexible code: Device swaps require code updates
Perpetual licenses: Extremely high CAPEX costs
ProCaaSo™
Cloud- Native: Remotely deployed to any system, anywhere
Microservices design: Protect the core, upgrade the rest
Kubernetes Containers: Flexible, secure, and modern platform
Security-focused: One port, one protocol
Why a CPLC™ and Python is better than industrial PLC and Ladder Logic
CPLC™ vs PLC
Our CPLC™, or Cloud-Programmable Logic Controller, allows software to be delivered as a service, from anywhere
Remote programmability allows quick deployment of software for process control of pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical, chemical, food, or industrial manufacturing
Cloud connectivity allows centralized visibility, control, and reporting for truly decentralized manufacturing
Small form factor allows greater flexibility in hardware configurations
Non-proprietary technology allows easy replacement upon failure-without needing expensive, custom services
Container-based software-as-a-service means no software re-writes upon replacement
Replacing a CPLC™ and reprogramming it to same use takes approx. 20 minutes
Python vs Ladder Logic
Future engineers learn Python—out of IEEE top 57 programming languages globally, Python is #1…Ladder Logic is #48, behind even Cobol and Fortran (do you even remember those languages…?)
For younger engineers, Ladder Logic is a career cul-de-sac—this is one of the real reasons you are losing the war for software engineering talent to tech industry leaders…
In order to move towards Industry and Pharma 4.0, the following are critical:
Mass Customization—the ability to create tailored products at high speed and on a scale never before possible
Customizing anything on a mass scale with a programming language like Ladder Logic, that was never designed to scale, is not possible
Automation is the era of smart machines, storage systems, and production plants that autonomously exchange information, trigger actions, and control operations free of any human intervention
This makes Automation the key to solving labor shortages long term and upskilling the current workforce
Ladder Logic is the key to the past while Python is the key to the future
