Industrial-grade robotic training platforms with real PLC integration. A fraction of the cost. Zero production risk.
The True Cost of Training
on Production Equipment
Current Industry Risk
Catastrophic Repair Costs
A single collision or misconfiguration on a production robot costs €5,000–€20,000 in repairs and weeks of lost productivity.
Production Halts
Training on live equipment means production lines stop. Every hour of training is an hour of lost output.
Insufficient Hands-On Time
Risk aversion limits junior engineers to observation. Simulation alone does not build commissioning skills.
The UMX Platform
Fraction of the Cost
Deploy a training unit at every workstation. Damaged part? 3D-print a replacement in hours.
Zero Production Impact
Train offline on dedicated platforms. Your production line never stops.
Real PLC Integration
Modbus TCP/RTU today. Siemens PROFINET and Beckhoff EtherCAT compatibility in development.
Real PLC Protocols.
Real Training Environments.
Current firmware supports Modbus TCP/RTU over WiFi and Serial. Industrial protocol integration is actively in development.
Modbus TCP / RTU
- Modbus TCP over WiFi
- Modbus RTU over Serial
- Any Modbus-compatible controller
- Shipping in current firmware
Siemens
- TIA Portal programming environment
- Ladder Logic, SCL, Function Blocks
- PROFINET or Modbus TCP gateway
- Standard Siemens plant workflow
Beckhoff
- TwinCAT 3 IDE compatibility
- Structured Text & Motion Control
- EtherCAT / ADS protocol support
- Real-time I/O operations
Compatibility Note: If your controller speaks Modbus, you can communicate with UMX platforms today. PROFINET and EtherCAT/ADS support are under active development for the v1.0 release.

Development Pipeline.
Full Transparency.
Initial Prototype
First functional 3D-printed robot arm. Proof of concept with basic stepper control, Modbus TCP/RTU communication, and manual serial commands.
Hardware Redesign
Complete 3D-printed component redesign. Professional Stepperonline motors. Closed-loop encoder feedback, on-board diagnostics display, and web-based control interface.
Intermediate releases (v0.3 – v0.9) may ship before v1.0
PLC Integration Release
Full Siemens S7 (TIA Portal / PROFINET) and Beckhoff TwinCAT 3 (EtherCAT / ADS) support. The release that qualifies the platform for industrial training environments.
Program Persistence
Save and load motion programs to on-board storage. Pre-built training exercises and reusable curriculum routines for structured education.
Intermediate releases (v1.2 – v1.9) may ship before v2.0
Vision System
Integrated camera module with object recognition. Pick-and-place with visual feedback, covering machine vision within the training platform.
