Core offering

Prosyst SAS develops and commercializes an integrated portfolio of proprietary software platforms and co-developed hardware modules for the performance of industrial automated systems across the entire lifecycle. Core software includes ODIL (engineering study standardization), SIMAC (patented virtual machine and process simulation), AIDMAP II (data analysis and diagnostics), and uDC (OPC UA-based Industry 4.0 data collection). Hardware includes AIDIAG data recording modules and PDR Process Data Recorders for Schneider Electric, Siemens, and Allen Bradley PLCs, plus PLC-Diag cybersecurity modules and ETHWAY gateway modules.

Product overview

PROSYST offers an integrated portfolio of software and hardware solutions for industrial automation performance across the entire lifecycle of automated systems. The core software platform consists of three pillars: ODIL (engineering platform for automation study standardization and automatic deliverable generation), SIMAC (virtual machine and process simulation with patented modeling technology), and AIDMAP II (data analysis and diagnostic software paired with AIDIAG data loggers). The hardware portfolio includes AIDIAG modules and PDR (Process Data Recorder) variants for Schneider Electric, Siemens, and Allen Bradley PLCs; uDC (unified Data Collector) for Industry 4.0 data collection using OPC UA; PLC-Diag for cybersecurity monitoring; ETHWAY Gateway for legacy system integration; and specialized solutions for railway including SurFer predictive maintenance and the MADIT digital twin.

Direct peers

• Siemens: Global industrial automation leader whose SIMATIC PLCs, TIA Portal engineering software, and SIMIT/NX MCD simulation compete head-on with Prosyst's ODIL, SIMAC, AIDIAG, and uDC products. Operates at a much larger scale but addresses the same automation lifecycle with overlapping customer base.
• Rockwell Automation: Owner of Allen Bradley PLCs (one of the PLC brands Prosyst's PDR Logix supports) and FactoryTalk software suite, which competes directly with Prosyst's AIDMAP II, ODIL, and SIMAC for automation engineering, HMI, and analytics use cases.

Broad incumbents

• Schneider Electric: Prosyst's strategic co-development partner and a major broader incumbent in industrial automation. EcoStruxure competes with Prosyst's full stack, yet Schneider co-manufactures AIDIAG and bundles uDC inside its IoT Box — making it both a competitor and the primary distribution channel.
• ABB: ABB Ability and B&R automation portfolio compete across PLC, simulation, and industrial analytics segments where Prosyst operates. ABB serves very similar large enterprise customers in automotive, rail, and process industries.
• Honeywell: Honeywell Forge and Connected Plant offerings overlap with Prosyst's uDC and AIDMAP data collection and analytics capabilities, particularly in process and manufacturing digital transformation contexts.
• Emerson: Emerson's Plantweb digital ecosystem and DeltaV automation compete with Prosyst's data acquisition, analysis, and predictive maintenance products for industrial clients, particularly in process industries and energy.
• AVEVA: AVEVA (now incorporating OSIsoft's PI System) competes with Prosyst's data historian and analytics capabilities, particularly for large industrial customers managing process and asset data at scale.

Emerging players

• PTC: PTC's ThingWorx IIoT platform and Kepware connectivity compete with Prosyst's uDC and AIDIAG offerings in industrial data collection and analytics, with similar enterprise customer overlap.
• COPA-DATA: COPA-DATA's zenon software platform is a closer-size industrial automation software peer, offering SCADA, HMI, and energy management — directly comparable in scale and customer profile to Prosyst's ODIL and AIDMAP II offerings.

Regional players

• Mitsubishi Electric: Mitsubishi Electric is a named SIMAC compatibility partner and broader PLC/automation vendor. Its MELSEC and SCADA offerings overlap with Prosyst's simulation and monitoring products in automotive and industrial segments, especially in Asia-Pacific.
