PLC as a service
Piscada cooperates with Logiccloud
Piscada, provider of full-stack solutions for buildings, is now cooperating with the German start-up Logiccloud. The aim is to offer cloud services based on IEC 61131-3 cloud-based engineering on the Piscada Marketplace.
The open PropTech platform from the Norwegian software company Piscada is a full-stack solution for buildings. The platform offers applications both on-premise and as cloud services.
The strategic partnership with Logiccloud AG aims to offer emerging cloud services based on IEC 61131-3 cloud-based engineering on the Piscada Marketplace under the banner "PLC as a Service".
With Piscada, Logiccloud gains access to the Norwegian market and other markets in Scandinavia. Specifically, the companies are planning to roll out the first cloud services at the ISH trade fair in March 2023.
"With Piscada, we have a partner who, like us, is bringing an innovative and novel product to the market," says Bernhard Böhrer, CEO of Logiccloud. "Together, we are creating real added value for customers, reducing engineering, commissioning and maintenance effort and, of course, costs to a considerable extent," adds Harald Hellmann, VP Sales & Business Development Central Europe at Piscada.
The Norwegian software company Piscada AS was founded in 2009 and is based in Trondheim. With its open PropTech software platform, Piscada is one of the leading providers of aquaculture solutions worldwide, as well as a leading provider of building automation in Norway. Piscada has already implemented the cloud-based SaaS business model based on the platform in more than 1000 buildings.
The start-up Logiccloud was founded in 2021 by automation experts. Logiccloud provides a cloud platform for the engineering and operation of hardware-independent PLC controllers. The PLC controllers can be executed in the cloud or on any devices and edge devices. This also allows new business models to be implemented at the same time.
