Industrial Automation is at a Crossroads

The proprietary systems that have run the world's plants for 50 years were not built for what comes next.

  • An open, control system with multi-vendor flexibility 
  • Cybersecurity built in by design, not bolted-on
  • Software-defined infrastructure that adapts as technology and business needs evolve
  • An incremental migration from proprietary to open
  • Advanced control through analytics and AI

The operators who move now will have capabilities the others cannot buy at any price. The ones who wait will keep paying for the privilege of falling behind.

Who We Help

Open Automation touches everyone. We can help you make the right decisions.

For Control Engineers

You are the one who has to make open automation work, and the one who has to defend the decision internally. You know the lock-in is real, you have lived through the upgrade cycles, and you are tired of being told the risk of switching is too high by the same vendors who profit from that belief. CPLANE gives you the technical foundation to make the move with confidence.

  • Deploy with confidence on a platform proven in production by major global operators across oil and gas, refining, and process industries.
  • Develop control applications using familiar IEC 61131-3 programming languages.
  • Integrated with advanced HMIs such as Inductive Automation’s Ignition—or any OPC UA–compliant platform of your choice.
  • Quickly diagnose and resolve issues using readily available data and modern engineering tools.

For Automation Leaders

You are not evaluating technology. You are evaluating a decision that will affect your operations, your capital allocation, and your competitive position for the next decade. The question is not whether open automation is the future, it is whether your organization moves now or gets pushed there later at a much higher cost. The risk of moving has been mitigated. The risk of waiting is growing.

  • Documented cost reductions of over 50% on hardware, software, and maintenance versus traditional DCS
  • Production-proven deployments at major global operators, not pilots, not proofs of concept
  • A phased migration approach that minimizes cost and downtime
  • Multi-vendor flexibility that eliminates single-vendor dependency going forward
  • Cybersecurity built to IEC 62443 standards, reducing your compliance and operational risk
  • A long-term partner who is invested in your success beyond the initial deployment

For Plant Managers

You own the risk. When something goes wrong, it lands on you, and that is exactly what the incumbents count on when they tell you switching is too dangerous. Staying on aging proprietary infrastructure carries its own risk: rising costs, obsolescence, and a widening gap between what your plant can do and what your competitors are already doing. CPLANE gives you a proven path forward that does not require betting the plant to take it.

  • Minimize maintenance downtime with software-based redundancy—without the cost and rigidity of traditional redundant hardware.
  • Documented cost reductions of over 50% on hardware and software versus traditional DCS
  • Production-proven deployments at major global operators
  • A phased migration approach that minimizes downtime throughout the transition
  • Multi-vendor flexibility that eliminates single-vendor dependency going forward
  • Cybersecurity built to IEC 62443 standards, reducing your compliance and operational risk
  • A long-term partner who is invested in your success beyond the initial deployment

For System Integrators

You are the one your customers call when they need automation done right. Your reputation is built on delivering systems that work on time, on budget, and without surprises. The shift to open automation is not a threat to that. It is an opportunity to expand what you can offer and deepen the relationships you already have. CPLANE was built to be implemented by SI partners. We do not go around you. We work alongside you.

  • Full implementation training and certification for your engineering team
  • Technical support throughout every deployment, from assessment through commissioning
  • A platform your customers will not outgrow, creating long-term expansion opportunities
  • Multi-vendor flexibility that works with the hardware and software relationships you already have
  • Sales and technical resources to help you build the case with your customers
  • A partner program designed to grow your practice, not just your project backlog

How We Can Work Together

Open automation is a significant decision. We help you make it with confidence.

Step 1

Understand Your Situation

We start by understanding your plant, your current system, and where the pain is. No pitch deck. Just a conversation about what you are running, what is not working, and what you want to be able to do.

Step 2

Build the Case Together

We help you translate the technical opportunity into a business case your organization can evaluate. That means TCO data, reference deployments, and a migration framework you can actually take to a capital review.

Step 3

Bring in the Right Partners

CPLANE works through certified SI partners who own the implementation. We help you identify the right partner for your project and make sure they are set up to deliver.

Step 4

Run a Meaningful Proof

Before a full deployment, we run a structured evaluation, the CPLANE EvalKit, so your engineering team can validate the platform in your environment, against your requirements.
