QiTech Control
QiTech Control is an open-source framework designed to bring modern software development practices to certified industrial hardware.
It frees developers from proprietary, license-heavy PLC ecosystems and rigid "point-and-click" workflows that are no longer adequate for today's complex automation challenges.
QiTech Control combines the modularity and reliability of standard EtherCAT terminals (e.g., WAGO, Beckhoff) with the power of a modern Rust & React stack.
