LicOS TOA: Redefining Industrial Automation Development Efficiency
In modern manufacturing, engineering teams still struggle with fragmented automation environments — multiple tools, different programming languages, and isolated data flows. These gaps slow down development, complicate integration, and increase maintenance workload.
LicOS TOA (Total Open Automation) is an all-in-one automation platform engineered by Unionscience to eliminate this fragmentation. With a full-stack, fully unified architecture, LicOS TOA streamlines control programming, visualization, and runtime execution into a single, cohesive workflow.
What Is LicOS TOA?
LicOS TOA is a comprehensive industrial automation environment consisting of two key components:
1. TOA IDE – Unified Engineering Environment
A single platform that integrates:
PLC/PAC logic programming
HMI interface development
SCADA monitoring and data visualization
Servo, motion, and hardware configuration
All variables stay synchronized across modules, eliminating repetitive configuration and reducing communication errors between engineering teams.
2. TOA Runtime – Cross-Platform Execution Engine
The runtime supports x86, ARM, and PowerPC architectures, running on both Windows and Linux. It can be deployed on embedded controllers, IPCs, or industrial edge devices, delivering stable real-time performance across diverse applications.
Why Choose LicOS TOA?
✔ 40% Faster Project Delivery
Tight integration of PLC, HMI, and SCADA
Auto-synchronized variables across the entire stack
Smooth online debugging and deployment
AI-assisted logic suggestions accelerate fault analysis and coding accuracy
✔ Up to 60% Reduction in Total Ownership Cost
No expensive licensing model
Lightweight installation suitable even for legacy IPCs
Full setup in under 3 minutes; minimal IT dependency
✔ Open Protocols for Seamless Connectivity
LicOS TOA supports 18+ industrial protocols, including Modbus, OPC UA, MQTT, PROFINET, EtherCAT, and CANopen.
You can easily integrate the platform with existing MES/ERP systems or expand customized workflows via open APIs and SDKs.
