CPLANE Control Fabric is the commercial OPA glue layer that enables industrial operators and systems integrators to deploy, operate, and support open, cyber-secure, resilient control systems – without vendor lock-in.
Designed for mission-critical operations in oil & gas, chemicals, and other continuous-process industries.
Production deployments
Enterprise-grade security and resilience
High-safety validation
Across the industry, PLC and DCS estates are aging out. Parts and expertise are harder to source. Cybersecurity expectations are rising. And the next wave of operational improvement—AI-driven optimization and advanced control—cannot be delivered by closed, vendor-locked platforms designed decades ago.
Operators face a hard choice: continue delaying modernization and accept growing operational and cybersecurity risk, or replace obsolete systems without repeating another 20-year lock-in cycle.
Lock-in is no longer just inconvenient. It's a strategic risk.
Open Process Automation (OPA) promises an open, interoperable alternative to proprietary control stacks. But while the promise is compelling, there’s a hard truth:
Open systems don’t assemble themselves.
The real challenge isn’t the standard—it’s making a multi-vendor control system deployable, resilient, cyber-secure, supportable, and accountable in production.
That missing system layer is what has kept OPA theoretical for most operators.
The CPLANE Control Fabric is the systems management and orchestration layer that binds multi-vendor OPA components into a single, secure, resilient, production-ready control system.
It turns OPA from a standard into a system operators can actually run, evolve, and support in the real world.
Multi-vendor systems management that makes open control systems deployable, repeatable, and operable at scale.
Authentication, authorization, and encryption built directly into the Control Fabric—not bolted on at the perimeter.
Software-defined high availability, redundancy, and in-process upgrades across the control system.
Mix and match best-of-breed controllers, compute, and applications without proprietary data lock-in.
Modern compute capacity inside the control fabric to support advanced control and AI workloads.
SI-led support backed by Control Fabric escalation, tooling, and a clear path to 24/7 coverage.
Continuously upgrade control systems like IT infrastructure—without rip-and-replace cycles or vendor hostage dynamics.
Resilient architecture and in-process updates reduce shutdown exposure and improve uptime in mission-critical environments.
Open systems become practical: repeatable deployments, lower operational burden, and a clear "who owns the issue" path.
Modern compute and open integration enable AI, MPC, and advanced optimization as they become standard.
Best-of-breed OPA components are integrated into the Control Fabric using validated reference architectures.
The Control Fabric applies system-wide security, resilience, and lifecycle management across all components.
Operators run safely in production while continuously upgrading the system without taking operations down.
Simpler modernization, less operational hassle, and a platform that stays invisible when things are working.
A commercial Control Fabric that enables repeatable delivery and clear first-line support accountability.
Reduced downtime exposure, safer operations, and a credible path to AI-driven efficiency.
Schedule a Control Fabric architecture session to align on a reference architecture, validate a supported configuration, and define a phased modernization path.
