logiccloud Education

Learn automation.
Develop with AI.

Shape the future.

logiccloud provides universities, universities of applied sciences, vocational schools and other educational institutions with the logiccloud IDE and logiccloud CONTROL free of charge.

Students use them to learn modern automation technology – from IEC 61131-3 and virtual controllers to AI-assisted development of complete automation solutions.

Challenge

Automation is changing. Education has to keep pace.

Virtual controllers, edge computing, cloud infrastructure, open standards and artificial intelligence are transforming industrial automation.

Yet high license fees, proprietary systems and expensive lab hardware make modern, hands-on training hard to offer for many educational institutions.

logiccloud lowers these barriers to entry.

Solution

Professional automation technology – free for education

With the logiccloud IDE and logiccloud CONTROL, educational institutions get an end-to-end platform for teaching, research and student projects.

Students can develop, simulate and test automation applications. The same applications can then run virtually or on suitable edge devices and industrial PCs.

  • Develop in the browser

    No local installation and no dedicated engineering workstations. A browser is all it takes to get started.

  • Start without hardware

    Control programs and user interfaces can first be developed, simulated and tested entirely in a virtual environment.

  • Run on any hardware

    With logiccloud CONTROL, applications run on a wide range of hardware and software platforms.

AI Engineering

Learn how AI creates automation solutions

With the AI project assistant in the logiccloud IDE, students experience how the essential parts of an automation solution can be generated automatically from a technical specification.

An input field simulates a project description:

Project description

“Create a controller for a conveyor belt with start, stop, a light barrier and a fault indicator.”

The solution then builds up step by step

  1. 1Structure the requirements
  2. 2Generate variables and data structures
  3. 3Create control logic to IEC 61131-3
  4. 4Generate a web-based user interface
  5. 5Configure communication
  6. 6Provide documentation

AI proposes a solution. People understand it, review it and take responsibility for the result.

Students learn to:

  • Use AI tools purposefully
  • Formulate technical requirements precisely
  • Understand generated code
  • Evaluate results critically
  • Simulate and test applications
  • Optimize solutions systematically
  • Integrate AI responsibly into technical systems

Learning process

An end-to-end learning process

Students go through every essential step of a modern engineering process. They do not just work in theory: they build a complete, executable automation application.

  1. 1

    Understand the task

  2. 2

    Develop the solution yourself or with AI

  3. 3

    Simulate in the browser

  4. 4

    Review and improve the results

  5. 5

    Deploy to CONTROL

  6. 6

    Connect to real systems
