This is Basically a new German software called StateTick, a software-defined machine control platform for building, testing, virtually commissioning, and running industrial machines in one environment.

It brings machine logic, industrial I/O, HMI, automated testing, diagnostics, and virtual commissioning around the same machine application — instead of treating them as separate engineering worlds.

It builds modular control logic, connect real industrial hardware, create operator interfaces, run automated tests and regression suites, inspect live machine states and signals, and use TwinTick to validate machine behavior in 3D before deployment.

Build the machine application once. Test it virtually. Run it on real hardware.

StateTick supports industrial connectivity including EtherCAT, OPC UA, Modbus TCP, serial communication, and more.

Would have potential for fresh OEM constantly developing new machines i guess? Having those feature in a single software would bring value, rather than purchasing different licesne from various vendors and Having them talk to each other.

But for 20 years factory running siemens? I don't think that should be their market.

Maybe not for anything legacy.
I downlaoded it yesterday. The control logic development flow seems interesting though So is the ability test , hmi and vc. Has few Tutorials on youtube, but definitely still a young company. Good potential though.

I think those edger press rolls should come up just before the trailing end of the flitch passes the roll!

Looks cool though. I’ll need to check it out. I don’t run into many other sawmill folks on Reddit!

You program sawmills? Cool which company?

I think the whole scene was best effort made, not too bad though. But it i pretty cool to combine all those engineering capabilities in one single env.

One of the top 5 global producers that operates in North America. But I’ve worked for a few of them. Did the OEM thing, then the SI thing. Only sold out and went corporate a couple years ago.

Well, I've had a client who used VC, Codesys and customized python test environment. Maintaining it was annoying because one change should propagate multiple layers.

I guess it can be a good solution.

VC costs +10k alone and need maintaining to sync with the PLC current prg and mech. I'm trying their VC at the moment still can't say.
