u‑OS – open automation platform

u‑OS is an open, modular automation platform for industrial applications and Industrial IoT. The operating system provides a flexible software foundation for control, edge, and automation solutions and enables seamless interaction between OT and IT systems.
At the core of u‑OS is a consistently open architecture. The use of established standards such as Linux, container technologies, and open communication protocols enables vendor‑independent integration of proprietary applications as well as third‑party solutions. Automation systems can thus be individually configured, extended, and continuously developed without being tied to proprietary end‑to‑end systems.
u‑OS supports a gradual entry into modern automation. Existing plants, architectures, and engineering concepts can be retained and selectively extended. Applications for control, data processing, visualization, or analytics can be added modularly as required. This scalability makes u‑OS particularly suitable for small and medium‑sized enterprises seeking to implement automation in an economical and flexible way.
Another key innovation is the integrated security concept. Features such as role‑based access control, secure communication, and regular updates are integral components of the platform and form the basis for reliable and future‑proof automation.
