Virtual PLCs for your IT landscape
Virtualisation makes it easier to manage complex systems built on heterogeneous hardware and software.

PRM.DEV deploys hardware-agnostic virtual PLCs and real-time hypervisors to centralise control, unify IT and OT, and run multiple operating systems (including RTOS) on the same hardware.
Why it matters to the business: IT/OT convergence
Replace multiple controllers with virtual instances on a single platform. Manage them through your IT team, speed up releases, and reduce TCO — without losing deterministic control.
Digital twin vs. simulation and IoT
  • Continuity

    Instead of a one-time simulation, a digital twin is a continuous model that runs multiple scenarios in parallel and synchronises with live data.
  • Not instead of IoT — above IoT

    IoT collects telemetry and controls devices, while a digital twin brings data together, applies rules and AI/ML models, and manages assets at the system level.

Security for critical environments
A hardware-agnostic hypervisor provides modular development, faster functional validation and QA, security-zone isolation, simplified certification, and quick module changes without full-system retesting.
