AI-programmable industrial controller that replaces PLCs with natural-language programming and includes IDE, HMI, historian, and data streaming in one box.
The Cortex AIC by Neuron Industries replaces the PLC, HMI package, historian, and vendor IDE in a single device. Engineers describe machine behavior in plain English and the browser-based Synapse IDE generates deterministic real-time Python code, deployable from a browser tab served directly by the controller. Available in two configurations: Cortex Mini ($2,950, 1000 Hz scan rate, soft real-time) and Cortex ($6,450, 4000 Hz scan rate, hard real-time); both include zero runtime licenses and support EtherCAT, PROFINET, Modbus TCP, MQTT, OPC UA, ROS 2, and more. Cortex AIC is a product of Neuron Industries.
