The OS for the factory. Integration without friction, from machine control to IoT.
The Operating System for industrial machines:
control, remote monitoring, and alerting in one platform,
on the hardware you choose.
Deterministic Unified Control Kernel
is a complete all-in-one process control and SCADA platform - from the factory floor to the cloud. RTDUCK controls and records everything and gives you access from anywhere.
Your process should not be locked to one vendor’s hardware. RTDUCK runs on the hardware you choose.
Control, operator interface, data historian, alerting, and IoT in a single platform, instead of separate products bolted together.
Let RTDUCK run the machine, or connect it alongside the controller that's already installed.
Full E2E control, Adapted for your use case
It reads your sensors and drives your actuators over off-the-shelf fieldbus I/O, with the operator interface, data historian and IoT built in.
Traditional deterministic control. Keepin' it simple. Spare compute powers advanced quality control, processing, and safety - all on one device.
A 1 ms control cycle with under 1 µs jitter for precise process control.
Predictable timing for Deterministic systems
Run control software on an industrial PC or server with standard fieldbus I/O.
More sourcing options and less dependence on proprietary hardware.
We run WebAssembly (WASM).
If you can get it into WASM, you can code the way YOU have always wanted.
* WASM support varies by language and toolchain. [1]
Build visual IEC 61131-3 Ladder Diagram logic. We compile it into WebAssembly (WASM) for RTDUCK to run.
Keep the logic your systems and staff already understand.
1 ms cycles. Under 1 µs jitter.
Run on an IPC or server.
We run WebAssembly (WASM).
IEC 61131-3 Ladder, compiled to WASM.
Your I/O. Your SCADA.
Who did what, and when.
Add-on features are our baseline.
Protection at every layer.
RTDUCK executes control logic on a fixed 1 ms cycle, with input sampling, computation and output updates in a defined sequence.
Jitter below 1 µs limits timing variation in feedback loops, supporting consistent process control.
RTDUCK runs on industrial PCs or servers connected to standard fieldbus I/O. Specify hardware around performance, availability and lifecycle cost.
Standard components broaden sourcing options and simplify replacement. On our catalysis research units, this approach reduced hardware costs by 90%.
RTDUCK runs WebAssembly (WASM). If you can get it into WASM, you can code the way YOU have always wanted.
WebAssembly provides a sandboxed execution environment: module memory is isolated from the host, and interaction follows explicitly exposed APIs. These boundaries protect the runtime while you keep your language and tooling.
We support IEC 61131-3 Ladder Diagram (LD), compiling your visual ladder logic into WebAssembly (WASM) for execution in RTDUCK.
Use the contacts, coils and interlocks your staff already loves and understands. This helps RTDUCK work with existing systems and teams without retraining them in a new programming language. IEC 61131-3 Structured Text (ST) support is available on request.
Build your SCADA directly from the I/O you specify.
Monitor the process, configure limits and route alerts to your team or API.
Logins, setpoint changes, manual operations and alarm acknowledgements are recorded with the user, timestamp and relevant values.
Compare the action history with process trends during fault investigations. A shared record supports shift handovers and reduces time spent reconstructing events.
Add-on features are our baseline. RTDUCK brings the tools to record, visualise, protect and extend your control system together.
Historian, Permissions, Predictive Maintenance and Interact SCADA Designer come native. Community Plugins and Containerization extend that foundation, so you can build around your process, reuse integrations and deploy supporting services alongside your control software.
Protect every layer, from field I/O to cloud access.
Authenticated connections protect data between site, cloud and your team.
Built directly from the I/O you specify: process control, live monitoring and configurable alerts in one SCADA system.
Keep your process visible and your team in the loop.
Record operator actions, parameter changes and alarm acknowledgements with user identities and timestamps.
A clear record for fault investigation and shift handovers.
Add-on features are our baseline: Historian, Permissions, Predictive Maintenance and Interact SCADA Designer come native.
e.g. compare weekly flow to spot gradual drift.
LUKS storage encryption, WASM isolation and authenticated connections protect each layer.
e.g. secure site-to-cloud access, managed through RT Cloud.
50 temperature readings. One live interface.
Modernised research equipment while retaining the underlying hardware.
Standard I/O. Complete process control.
RTDUCK combines control, monitoring and data collection for catalysis research units.
