Stage Automation
Modern Motion Control for Stage Machinery
Professional control software for theaters and event venues. Precise, reliable, tested - developed with modern software standards that the traditional PLC world lacks.
Software-Only Solution for Your Stage
Control point hoists, chain hoists, curtain tracks, platforms, and turntables with millimeter precision. We deliver the software image - you choose the industrial components that fit your venue and budget. Works with EtherCAT for new installations and integrates with existing systems.
Our modular framework adapts to your needs: small theater or large concert hall, five axes or fifty. Every configuration is tested and simulated before commissioning. Over 30 installations since 2013 prove the maturity of our approach.
Precise Axis Control
Millimeter-accurate positioning with real-time feedback. Control point hoists, chain hoists, curtain tracks, platforms, and turntables with smooth motion profiles. Adjustable speeds, acceleration curves, and positioning accuracy ensure smooth, reliable operation during every performance.
Synchronous & Asynchronous Groups
Coordinate multiple axes in perfect harmony. Group axes for synchronized movement or control them independently. Define master-slave relationships, offset movements, and complex choreographies. Essential for coordinated platform movements and multi-hoist operations.
Sequence Programs & Scenes
Program complex stage movements as reusable sequences. Store complete show setups as scenes and recall them instantly. Time-based or event-triggered sequences enable automated shows. Perfect for recurring performances and quick scene changes.
Flexible Scripting
Implement customer-specific logic through our scripting interface. Extend standard functionality with custom automation sequences, conditional logic, and special movement patterns. Adaptable to your unique requirements without modifying the core system.
Real-Time 3D Visualization
See your stage movements in a live 3D browser view. Monitor all axis positions, speeds, and states in real-time. Works on control panels, laptops, and tablets - no special hardware needed. Operator-friendly interface accessible from anywhere.
Software-Only. Hardware-Independent.
No proprietary hardware lock-in. We deliver the software, you choose your components. Works with EtherCAT for new installations and legacy systems alike. Use robust industrial components with long-term availability and spare part guarantees.
Lightning-Fast Calculations
Parallel axis calculations enable ultra-fast software cycles. Independent processing of each axis maximizes responsiveness and control accuracy. High-performance motion control even with dozens of simultaneous axes.
High Availability & Redundancy
EtherCAT cable redundancy, software synchronization, and hot standby capability. Automatic failover ensures the show goes on even if components fail. Mission-critical reliability for professional venues.
Tested Before It Goes Live
Every configuration undergoes rigorous testing: unit tests, component tests, and end-to-end tests on target hardware. Simulate complete show sequences before commissioning. You know exactly how the system behaves - before it goes live, not after.
Continuously Evolving Product
Permanent development with new features included in service contract. Not an isolated project - a mature product refined over 30+ installations since 2013. All systems benefit from updates, bug fixes, and improvements.
SIL3 Safety Functions (Coming 2027)
Software-based safety management for SIL3 systems. Caging (workspace limits), platform synchronization, SLS (Safe Limited Speed), and SAS (Safe Acceleration/Deceleration). Regulatory-compliant safety without expensive hardware.
