Middleware & Plugin Development
In modern manufacturing, seamless integration between robotics, simulation, and PLC systems is critical for achieving true digital continuity.
Sakal team specializes in engineering middleware and plugin solutions that connect automation tools, virtual commissioning environments, and control systems — enabling faster testing, higher accuracy, and reduced commissioning time.
Our Expertise
Enabling Real-Time Connectivity for Digital Manufacturing
Engineering Tool Integration
Seamless Data Exchange for Digital Twins
Our tools enable bi-directional, real-time data synchronization between robot controllers, PLCs, and virtual environments. This ensures that simulation behavior reflects real-world conditions, reducing commissioning errors and accelerating the validation of automation logic.
Engineering Automation Tools
Beyond connectivity, we automate repetitive and error-prone engineering tasks — from formula-based computations to estimation systems — improving scalability, accuracy, and project turnaround times.
