Software for the Entire Lifecycle

A platform for end-to-end automation.

horstOS makes Physical AI directly usable for industrial applications. The Execution Platform integrates planning, configuration, execution, operation, and adaptation into a single, end-to-end environment. Users define tasks; horstOS supports their implementation, reliably executes processes, and helps adapt applications more quickly to real-world production conditions.

Software for the Entire Lifecycle

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 seamless environment: planning, implementation, operation, optimization, and retrofitting take place without any disruption. The AI helps users set up processes more quickly, flexibly reconfigure robots, and efficiently adapt applications to real-world production conditions.

Four Steps to Automation

Physical AI integrates planning, configuration, execution, and operation.

| Step 1 · My Projects

From an Idea to a Reusable Solution

In My Projects, users can approach every automation task in a structured manner. Project templates with a pre-prepared risk assessment in accordance with DIN EN ISO 10218-2 help users adopt existing solutions more quickly and further develop them in a standardized manner. Projects are managed centrally, expanded flexibly, and combined with tested components.

| Step 2 · Project Setup

Configure the system instead of building the engineering infrastructure

In Project Setup, the automation application is configured in just a few steps. Users select the appropriate robot, define interfaces, and map out the 3D environment. A library of preconfigured and documented components reduces the effort required to build new applications and provides a reliable foundation for implementation.

| Step 3 · Program Generation

Define tasks instead of programming

In Program Generation, automation sequences are defined intuitively. Wizards provide assistance with waypoints, pallet patterns, graphical splines, and parallel sequences. This makes it possible to create executable processes more quickly, in a more traceable manner, and without traditional programming logic.

| Step 4 · Process Control

Reliably Run and Operate Applications

The configured application runs in production within the Process Control user interface. Operators start defined processes, execute approved functions, and work with customizable user permissions. This keeps day-to-day operations simple, manageable, and efficient.

| PLEXA CORE 2.0

Physical AI throughout every step.

The Intelligence Layer extends horstOS from the initial concept through setup and process logic to execution and optimization during operation. AI agents understand process objectives, images, CAD data, and real-world environmental data, and use this information to derive executable processes. This results in flexible automation applications that can be configured more quickly and adapted to real production conditions during operation.
