Malogica Group announced a partnership with South Korea?s UDMTEK Co., Ltd. to close that gap. The partnership brings UDMTEK?s patent-backed PLC diagnostics platform to European manufacturers for the first time, deployed on Malogica?s purpose-built edge and server hardware, designed, assembled, and tested in Portugal, with full local integration and support. The partnership also addresses a fundamental challenge in manufacturing AI: the quality of the data that models learn from.

As factories pursue greater automation, AI systems are increasingly expected to predict failures, optimize processes, and support autonomous decision-making. But sensor data captures symptoms. Control-logic data captures causes. UDMTEK?s platform already applies AI techniques, including convolutional neural network autoencoders and pattern analysis, for anomaly detection and trend forecasting.

Combined with Malogica?s AI and machine learning engineering capabilities, the partnership delivers both immediate diagnostics and the causal data foundation that the next generation of manufacturing AI requires. UDMTEK brings its proprietary PLC translation engine, deep control-logic expertise, and AI models trained across millions of production cycles in Korean manufacturing. Malogica brings purpose-built edge and server hardware, software development and AI/ML competency, on-premise deployment infrastructure, and a local team across Europe?s major manufacturing regions.

The companies describe the partnership as built on complementary strengths, with each delivering what it does best. Production-ready PLC support is currently available for Siemens SIMATIC S7, Rockwell Allen-Bradley, and Mitsubishi, with Beckhoff, B&R, and ABB in active development. The platform is deployed 100 percent on-premise with no cloud dependency.

Proof-of-concept deployments can typically be completed within two to four weeks, with full-scale rollout in two to four months. The partnership is now active, and the companies are engaging with prospective pilot customers in Europe. Manufacturers operating Siemens, Rockwell, or Mitsubishi PLCs who face unplanned downtime, recurring root cause analysis challenges, or production optimization needs are invited to explore a proof of concept.
