Why AI Motion?

Reinforcement Learning enables a new class of machine control. Without requiring historical measurement data, AI learns autonomously on a digital twin of your system, exploring thousands of scenarios to find the optimal control strategy for your application. This control is then deployed to your machine: as pure SCL code for SIMATIC PLCs or as native Python on Industrial Edge via AI Inference Server. The result is robust, real-time control that adapts seamlessly to dynamic processes and unpredictable inputs, such as randomly arriving products.

Maximize performance, minimize engineering effort

AI automates the optimization of your control logic. It eliminates time-consuming algorithm development, coding and tuning. Achieve superior performance without increasing engineering resources or project timelines.

Control strategies tailored to your application

Balance throughput, energy use, wear, and quality with precision. AI Motion learns your specific objectives and delivers control strategies optimized for your exact machine requirements.

Built to handle real-world variability

From wear and friction to changing products and environments - AI Motion is made to manage uncertainty. The result: stable, high-performance control even under dynamic, unpredictable conditions.

Featured capabilities

Deploy AI control on PLC or Industrial Edge

Integrate the AI Motion control in your automation solution as SCL function block on your SIMATIC PLC or as native Python code on Industrial Edge via the AI Inference Server. Both options ensure real-time execution and seamless integration into your existing automation architecture – without disrupting your engineering workflows.
