OTee
OTEE provides a software-defined industrial control platform built on virtual PLC technology, enabling operators to engineer control logic in a browser, deploy it on open Linux hardware, and manage fleets centrally. The platform standardizes operational data across assets, creating a single source of truth that supports industrial AI applications. It is already running in mission-critical operations across four industries, including subsea control at Aker BP.

Problem
Legacy industrial control architectures require fleet-wide changes to be managed as hundreds of individual jobs across different PLC platforms, engineering-tool versions, and site procedures. Hardware choices become architecture lock-in, remote troubleshooting demands field visits, and operational data remains inconsistent across assets due to controller-specific tag structures and point-to-point integrations.
Solution
OTEE delivers a scalable, software-defined control layer that replaces proprietary controllers, separate OT services, and manual deployment tools with a single unified platform. The solution virtualizes PLC runtime so control logic can be engineered in a browser-based environment, deployed on open hardware, and managed centrally across sites. This decouples hardware selection from architecture decisions, enabling operators to choose hardware based on application, schedule, or cost requirements without redesigns. OTEE also introduces a data architecture that acts as a single, standardized source of truth, allowing all systems to consume and share operational information seamlessly with consistent tags, timestamps, and resolution. The platform connects deterministic control with operational data, providing a foundation for industrial AI applications. This architecture reduces the need for site visits, accelerates rollout of updates, and improves fleet-wide data consistency.
Target Audience
OTEE targets industrial operators and organizations managing large fleets of PLC-controlled assets, including subsea, oil and gas, energy infrastructure, and utilities, as well as system integrators seeking to standardize control architectures.
