Legacy control hardware limits the adoption of virtualized PLCs in OT, restricting the benefits of Software-Defined Automation (SDA) and AI in factory automation. MLE’s Robo/TSN bridges this gap by virtualizing IT networks, enabling seamless Factory Cloud connectivity with existing sensors and actuators.

Powered by MLE’s patented integrated circuit technology, Robo/TSN runs legacy OT fieldbus protocols over standard IT infrastructure with unmatched reliability, security, and speed. It reduces costs, simplifies maintenance, minimizes downtime, and delivers microsecond-precise performance at scale.

Built on open IEEE standards like TSN, Robo/TSN works with modern servers and IEC 61131-3 PLC software. Moreover, it’s fully transparent to existing legacy hardware and software interfaces: Means, zero modifications to existing factory equipment – a rare "plug-and-play" solution in the industrial automation space.​
