What makes Super AI PLC different

The global PLC market is $14.8B and no rival has built-in AI — these eight capabilities are combined in one device.

Hardware + Runtime + ML

AI built into the PLC core, not just ladder logic — something Siemens/AB/Schneider simply do not have.

33+ AI/ML services

Anomaly detection, predictive maintenance (94%), energy forecasting, schedule optimization and fire safety.

Computer Vision

YOLOv8/11 with 601 classes + face recognition (SCRFD/MobileFaceNet) + people counting & liveness.

6 AI providers, $0 license

Groq · Gemini · Ollama · OpenRouter · OpenAI · Claude with automatic failover; zero AI license cost.

Edge-Cloud Hybrid

The PLC runs real-time I/O <100ms on ESP32-S3; AI runs in the cloud <500ms — speed plus intelligence.

85% cheaper than Siemens

$299 vs $800–1,200 with more features; 87% lower 5-year TCO.

Built-in HMI + WiFi + OTA

Zero-code visual programming, a 3.5" touch display and OTA updates — learn in 1 week (rivals 2–3 months).

463-device ecosystem

The only PLC with a complete sensor/actuator/controller ecosystem — rivals have ~60–100 devices.

Compared to global rivals

Against Siemens, Allen Bradley and Schneider — more features at ~75% lower price.

From controller to operational solution

Devices, protocols and control logic form the infrastructure layer. Supervisory software and the digital twin expose that infrastructure to operators. I/O, connectivity and intelligent services are selected for each project.
