# AEOS — Automation Engineering Operating System > AEOS is an API-driven orchestration platform that auto-generates electrical designs, controls software, robotics programs, vision configurations, and HMI directly in OEM engineering tools. Built for system integrators and machine builders who want to standardize once and generate repeatedly — cutting automation engineering time and cost by up to 80%. Website: https://getaeos.io Product App: https://aeos.engineering --- ## The Problem Custom automation engineering is slow, expensive, and doesn't scale. Every project, every customer, every platform — and teams are rebuilding from scratch. The tools exist, but nothing connects them. The result: engineering hours that eat margins and timelines that frustrate customers. ### Repetitive Engineering Teams solve the same problems over and over. Every new project means rebuilding similar control logic, rewiring similar electrical designs, and re-creating similar HMI screens — across different vendor platforms. The work is predictable, but it still takes thousands of hours because there is no way to standardize and reuse it at scale. ### Fragmented Toolchain Engineering disciplines do not talk to each other. Mechanical design, electrical design, controls, robotics, and vision each live in their own silo. There is no automated pipeline between them — just manual handoffs, copy-paste workflows, and engineering hours lost to translation between tools that were never built to work together. --- ## The Solution: Meet AEOS AEOS is the Automation Engineering Operating System — an API-driven orchestration platform that enables agentic engineering: the automated generation of electrical designs, controls software, robotics programs, vision configurations, and HMI across the entire engineering toolchain. One orchestrated pipeline. One set of standards. Repeatable output at scale. AEOS does not replace engineering tools. It connects them into a single automated workflow — so teams spend time on engineering decisions, not repetitive implementation. ### Engineered Repeatability, Not Probabilistic Generation AEOS enables agentic engineering, but it is not another agentic code generator. The output is precise and deterministic. Same input, same output — every time. 100% consistent quality, no matter how often you run it. This is engineered repeatability, not probabilistic generation. --- ## How It Works AEOS automates the full engineering pipeline — from mechanical layout to deployable code — through a four-step orchestration workflow. ### Step 1: Import Mechanical Layouts Start with the mechanical design. AEOS reads the layout and applies the naming conventions from standardization models to establish the engineering baseline. ### Step 2: Auto-Generate Electrical Design Based on the mechanical layout and naming conventions, AEOS generates the complete electrical design via API — fully autonomous, output delivered directly into the electrical design OEM's IDE. ### Step 3: Determine Functionality A specialized language model analyzes the electrical design and determines the workflows required for controls and robotics — mapping each part of the production line to its intended function. ### Step 4: Generate Software Based on software models, AEOS auto-generates production-ready software for controls, robotics, and vision — including permissives, interlocks, and workflows — directly in the equipment OEM's IDE. HMI and visualization are also 100% generated. **Technical note:** AEOS does not connect to live PLC data. It creates software directly in the equipment OEMs' IDEs. The generated output can then be tested and validated in simulation tools. --- ## Who Is AEOS For? ### System Integrators Whether serving small manufacturers who lack their own standards or large enterprises in highly standardized industries, AEOS accelerates delivery. Use the AEOS standard to get started immediately, or bring your own — AEOS models can be trained with your data. ### Machine Builders Standardize engineering across an entire product line. Generate repeatable, production-ready software for every machine variant without rebuilding from scratch. Same quality, every build, every time. ### Not For AEOS is not for one-off engineering. If you need a single custom project with no intention to standardize or repeat, AEOS is not the right tool. AEOS is built for teams that want to engineer once and generate at scale. --- ## Results: Already Proven in Production The technology behind AEOS is not theoretical. It is already in use — generating real engineering deliverables for real customers. AEOS brings it together into one automated platform for the first time. - **96% Reduction in Engineering Time**: Electrical design engineering reduced from 22,000 hours to 800 hours in the cold storage industry. - **30-Minute HMI Generation**: HMI screens that previously took weeks of development are now generated in 30 minutes. - **Automotive Industry**: Multiple major automotive brands already use this technology, triggered manually in isolated workflows. AEOS automates the full pipeline — from layout to production-ready software — for the first time. --- ## Frequently Asked Questions ### Do I own my data? Yes. Your data is 100% yours. ### Will it work with any standard? Yes. AEOS can integrate any hardware and software standard and train models with your data. ### Does AEOS work with automotive standards? Yes. AEOS is currently working with most major automotive brands to integrate their standards. ### Can I use the AEOS standard for any of my custom automation projects? Yes. The AEOS standard is available for all users of the platform. --- ## Why We Built AEOS AEOS was born from a simple observation: small and medium-sized manufacturers cannot attract the integrators they need. Years ago, the team at PITCO Engineering exhibited at the Automate show, hosted by the A3 — Association for Advancement in Automation — in Chicago. Dozens of SMB manufacturers came with the same frustration. They had talked to the larger integrators at the show, and no one wanted to work with them. Over the following two years, the team visited dozens of small and medium-sized manufacturers across general manufacturing, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, battery production, and more. The same pattern appeared everywhere: these companies are not ready for automation. They lack the planning, the standardization, and the internal project ownership that a successful automation project requires. **This is why 80% of first-time automation projects fail.** And it is why serious integrators and machine builders avoid these customers entirely. The "Start with Standard" initiative was launched — using experience in automation to help manufacturers achieve automation readiness through planning, standardization, and training. And AEOS was built to make it economically viable — cutting the time and cost of custom automation engineering by up to 80%, so integrators can profitably serve the customers who need them most. --- ## Contact & Links - Website: https://getaeos.io - Product App: https://aeos.engineering - Status: Waitlist open for early access - Copyright 2026 AEOS.
