Rethinking Industrial Control: LicOS PLC – Smart Manufacturing Alternative
In today’s fiercely competitive manufacturing landscape, global brands like Siemens remain leaders in PLC technology, trusted for their proven performance and industrial reliability. However, as industries evolve toward smarter, more cost-efficient, and localized automation solutions, many system integrators and manufacturing companies are looking for alternative PLC options that combine compatibility with leading standards, strong performance, and better cost efficiency.
LicOS PLC positions itself as a competitive and practical alternative, especially for enterprises seeking:
Enhanced cost-effectiveness without sacrificing control quality
Seamless integration with existing Siemens-based architectures and industrial networks
Localized technical support and customization capabilities
Long-term supply chain security and flexibility
While Siemens remains an industry benchmark, LicOS PLC delivers powerful performance, reliable operation, and outstanding value – empowering smart manufacturing companies and system integrators to achieve their automation goals with greater flexibility and ROI.
For forward-thinking manufacturers aiming to balance brand reliability with economic efficiency, LicOS PLC offers a strategic choice to build smarter, safer, and more agile production systems in today’s fast-changing industrial world.
High Performance at Competitive Costs
LicOS PLC controllers deliver robust computing power, large memory, and fast cycle times comparable to leading European brands — but at a significantly more competitive price point. For customers managing multiple production lines or large-scale retrofits, this means substantial savings without sacrificing control quality.
Flexible & Open Architecture
While many international PLC giants keep customers within proprietary ecosystems, LicOS offers open communication standards — Ethernet, Modbus, CANopen, EtherCAT — and flexible I/O modules that make integration with existing equipment simple and cost-effective.
Localized R&D and Support
Unlike global giants with rigid supply chains, LicOS is committed to hardware localization and independent software platforms. This means better adaptability to regional industry standards, faster response to customization needs, and more robust information security — critical for industries where data sovereignty and cybersecurity are non-negotiable.
OEM & Custom Solutions
Whereas Siemens and Schneider provide powerful standard products, LicOS goes the extra mile for OEM and system integrator partners. Whether you need a compact controller for an embedded machine or a redundant CPU for mission-critical processes, LicOS offers nearly 100 specifications of CPUs, I/O modules, and couplers — and can customize them to fit your exact requirements.
Applications That Demand More
Today, LicOS PLC controllers power automation lines across diverse sectors:
Smart Manufacturing: precision motion control, multi-axis robotics, high-speed assembly lines.
Transportation & Logistics: conveyor networks, automated warehouses, smart sorting systems.
High-End Equipment Manufacturing: machine tools, packaging, CNC systems, and beyond.
Process control: chemical plants, new energy systems, water treatment, using redundant CPUs for fail-safe control.
The Trusted Choice for Smart Manufacturers
Choosing LicOS PLC means more than purchasing a controller — it means partnering with a brand that combines over 20 years of industrial control expertise with the agility and innovation modern manufacturers demand. Our customers benefit from:
Stable, long-term supply.
