Juliet & Romeo® shortens time-to-commission, reduces vendor lock-in, and improves line stability. By coexisting with IEC 61131 PLCs, SRCI, and ROS, it supports modernization where ROI is clear, without disrupting what already works.
Juliet & Romeo® lets you scale product revenue by reusing implementations beyond technology and vendor boundaries. Being built for co-existence, Juliet & Romeo is not only offering strong values on its own, it also utilizes the automation community techniques and standards to unify and strengthen robotics and automation business cases even further.
ROS is a strong tool for quick prototyping of advanced or sensor driven applications, but mostly more costly when the prototype is to work in an industrial setting. By coexisting, Juliet & Romeo enable the utilization of the ROS community but provide an attractive way for efficient industrialization.
New is not always better; there is a lot of value in solutions that already work. Instead of forcing replacement, Juliet & Romeo enable value increase with existing investments. By providing smart interaction with IEC 61131 systems (e.g., CODESYS) and utilization of SRCI, it becomes feasible to add new / extend functionality to existing installations, for stepwise modernization. Maintaining earlier investments.
With a growing software part, the automation community is struggling with attracting talented developers. Legacy system solutions and developer tools are not helping. Juliet & Romeo utilizes tooling known to modern software developers (advanced debugging features, automated testing, and version handling are just as natural as the software talents are used to). This offers benefits in dramatically cutting time and iterations during development, commissioning, and maintenance. At the same time, it provides an attractive work environment for software talents.
Time-to-commission: Consolidate motion + logic + sensors + AI into one stack.
Reduce vendor lock-in: Standard interfaces remain; Juliet & Romeo applications are transferable across multiple vendors.
Improves line stability: Unified and reusable applications lowers risk and cost.
Future-ready talent: Modern development environments attract talented engineers
ROS 2 excels at openness and innovation, SRCI at interoperability and vendor neutrality, and IEC 61131 at proven stability and standardization. Juliet & Romeo® coexists with all three, protecting prior investments while creating a path to gradual modernization, delivering measurable ROI along the way.
