Audi built a dedicated initiative with Broadcom, Cisco, and Siemens to move to virtual PLCs. Most manufacturers will get there eventually. None of them are ready today. Programmable Logic Controllers control every assembly line, conveyor system, and robotic cell across every major manufacturing vertical. But the software workflow around PLC code is completely broken. Updates require physical access to hardware. No version control. Testing happens on live systems. Engineers manually reconfigure logic across dozens of devices every time something changes. Downtime during updates is measured in hours. In large facilities, that's millions of dollars.

The opportunity:

Own how engineers write and deploy PLC logic today. As vPLC infrastructure matures through the late 2020s, the platform naturally evolves into the operating environment for virtualized control logic. Own the developer workflow now. Own the runtime later.
