One software for the entire life cycle

End-to-end automation instead of isolated solutions.

horstOS makes physical AI directly usable for industrial applications. The software supports the entire automation process in a consistent environment: planning, implementation, operation, optimization and retrofitting take place without media disruptions. The AI helps users to set up processes more quickly, reconfigure robots flexibly and adapt applications efficiently to real production conditions.

Simple.

End-to-end software connects all steps of your automation from A to Z. Clearly structured and easy to use.

Fast.

Tried and tested project templates with a completed risk assessment enable a direct start.

Economical.

No PLC, less effort, lower costs. Modular expandability ensures fast and efficient automation.

Four steps to an automation solution

Physical AI combines planning, implementation and operation

Step 1

My Projects

From the idea to the solution

My Projects gives you a quick start to any automation project. Project templates with a ready-made risk assessment in accordance with DIN EN ISO 10218-2 allow you to continue using existing solutions directly. You manage projects centrally and expand them flexibly with functions and tested components.

Step 2

Project Setup

Connect and configure

In Project Setup, you can configure your system in just a few steps. You choose the right robot, define interfaces and design your 3D world. A large library of preconfigured and documented components ensures maximum efficiency when putting together your application.

Step 3

Program Generation

Programming without hurdles

Programming is very easy using an intuitive graphical user interface. Wizards help you set up waypoints, palette patterns, graphical splines and parallel sequences without programming knowledge. This allows you to automate faster and without special expert knowledge.

Step 4

Process Control

Work simply & productively

Once everything is set up, you can easily control your application in Process Control. The end operator can start defined programs and execute functions - all with individually definable user rights. This keeps your system simple and efficient to operate on a day-to-day basis.

Across all steps

Physical AI Assistance
