Understand Undocumented PLC

No comments or confusing tag names? No problem. PLC Copilot can descipher any program for you.

You don't have to upload your company's IP to a random website. Use PLC Copilot locally, and get clear explanations.

  • Cross-references tags across the project
  • Built for takeovers, migrations, and OEM programs
  • Works without comments or tag descriptions

Troubleshoot Faults

When the system is glitching, you shouldn't have to hunt every rung. Describe the symptoms and PLC Copilot points at the rungs that cause the problem.

  • Traces permissives in the order they have to be true
  • Cites the rungs that cause the problem
  • Does not change the program unless you ask

Document Handoff

You've spent months on a project. Documentation should not be an extra burden.

Ask PLC Copilot for comments and a narrative from the current program. You get a draft in under 2 minutes.

  • I/O lists and tag tables with the write-up
  • Export PDF or paste into your template
  • Useful for FAT, SAT, and site turnover

Stop Losing Money
to Unplanned Downtime.

For troubleshooting, PLC Copilot does the heavy-lifting of the manual code review, pointing your team directly to the root cause. It removes the guesswork, allowing the technicians to step in and apply the fix immediately. Here is how our customers are turning expensive downtime into quick, predictable fixes.

Mean Time to Repair
Reduced by
43%

PLC Copilot quickly identified the exact sensors and permissions causing failures by deciphering vague HMI alarms into actionable information.

Production Uptime / OEE
Increased by
3.2%

By translating legacy logic on demand, PLC Copilot empowered the maintenance team to permanently resolve recurring micro-stops and keep daily throughput on target.

Overtime Hours
Dropped by
2hr/ week

PLC Copilot took over the heavy lifting of manual code review, meaning engineers no longer had to stay late untangling undocumented spaghetti code to get a line running again.

Total Savings
Saved
$182kper year

PLC Copilot reversed the massive cumulative costs of legacy system failures, recovered production hours, and completely eliminated emergency external support calls.

Security & privacy

Your PLC code
stays on your
local machine.

Offline and on-premises options are available. The online plans send chunks of your request to our servers where it is processed. See our Privacy Policy for more details on how we protect your proprietary information.

Security
01

Private, for all plans

Ladder logic is proprietary. Often under NDA. No one, not even our team, can view or execute your source in context.

02

Secure by design

The AI works in an isolated local environment, communicating over an encrypted channel to ensure that your code remains private and secure.

03

Offline option available

Some teams prefer to use their own servers, some can't connect to the internet at all. We can accomodate your needs in our enterprise plan.

Core Capabilities

The tasks you’ll
hand off today.

Not another wrapper. PLC Copilot has been vigorously trained to understand IEC 61131-3 programs. It can read Ladder Logic (LD), Function Block Diagrams (FBD), and Structured Text (ST).

Code review01

Explain logic across multiple projects.

Upgrading a legacy system requires understanding exactly how it behaves. Tracing thousands of rungs and tags can take days, if not weeks.

PLC Copilot turns the legacy logic into human-readable explanations so you can reverse engineer the old program into modern architectures.

You can run multiple PLC Copilot instances in parallel, each working independently, or load multiple projects in a single workspace to have the agent cross-reference the logic.

Logic Generation Assistant02

Guardrailed Logic Generation

Generate new logic with confidence. Whether you’re starting a new project, or you want to offload repetitive work, PLC Copilot generates logic you can actually trust.

It operates within strict IEC 61131-3 guardrails to deliver validated, import-ready results. With our human-in-the-loop workflow, you review every rung before it touches your project, and you have the control to revert any AI changes you do not want to keep.

Documentation03

Turn ladder logic into readable docs.

Let's be honest, documentation is boring. Generic AI tools provide convincing but wrong information. PLC Copilot has guardrails to ensure the validity of the output.

PLC Copilot reads the source project and drafts documents from what is actually in the controller. You review the output, fix wording where needed, and ship records your client and maintenance team can follow.

PLC Copilot drafts project documentation from ladder logic
“It just saved me a boat load of time trying to figure out how someone else's undocumented spaghetti works. Where in the past I would have probably trashed it and rewritten, now I can document the program so others can benefit.”

Success stories from our users.

Legacy project

Inherited 6,000 rungs. No documentation.

The engineer who wrote it retired in 2019. I had two weeks to present a plan for upgrade. I ran Copilot across the whole project on a Monday, and the entire project was deciphered in a day.

Downtime response

Troubleshooting issues in record time.

Asked Copilot why process was stuck. It pointed at a latched interlock tied to a guard-door input that was stuck low. Swap a proximity sensor, line back up in 40 minutes.

New hires

Onboarding made easy.

The goal was to get new hires up to speed as soon as possible without burning weeks from someone else's calendar. PLC Copilot acts as a companion available on demand, answering foundational questions so new hires can get up to speed quickly.
