Adaptive automation for process engineers

Better industrial control.
Better production.

XC05Edge is an industrial edge controller that combines deterministic real-time automation, adaptive control, safe local AI and Modelica simulation in one graphical engineering platform.

One platform. More capable automation.

Build faster. Commission sooner.

FirstGraph lets automation engineers build systems graphically from tested objects and ready libraries—without special programming.

01 — GRAPHICAL ENGINEERING

Connect objects—not code

Build and navigate the complete control application graphically in FirstGraph. Process engineers can work directly without specialist programming.

02 — SAFE FUNCTION LIBRARIES

Use tested, supervised objects

Control, filters, logic, communication, adaptive control, Python and Modelica are available as reusable objects with defined interfaces.

03 — APPLICATION LIBRARY

Reuse what already works

Start from complete real applications instead of an empty project. Reduce engineering cost, shorten commissioning and lower project risk.

Application areas

From steel production to research

XC05Edge combines industrial control, adaptive methods, local AI and simulation across a wide range of processes and systems.

Steel production

Continuous casting

Adaptive mould-level control reduces large deviations and improves product quality and yield.

Steel production

Cold rolling

Automatic compensation for strip and mill variations improves thickness accuracy and production yield.

Energy systems

District heating

Stable, efficient control of production, distribution, boilers, heat pumps and pumping stations.

Energy efficiency

Buildings

Model predictive control adjusts heating from outdoor conditions and weather forecasts.

Product development

Embedded systems

Build applications faster and more safely without custom low-level programming, then deploy on XC05Edge or ARM/Linux.

Universities and R&D

Research and training

Combine real-time automation, Modelica simulation, Python and AI for learning, experiments and innovation.
