AO PLC Intelligence · engineering code analysis

Understand legacy PLC code before you troubleshoot, modify or migrate it.

AO PLC Intelligence turns an uploaded PLC project into structured engineering evidence: project identification, code inventory, call/write activity, multiple-writer risks, investigation points and analysis coverage. It is designed to help an engineer understand an unfamiliar project faster — not to replace live-machine checks.

Snapshot: immediate automated analysis when the project format is supported. Paid audits are manually scoped and confirmed before engineering work starts.

Four levels

From rapid code triage to modernisation discovery

Use the free Snapshot to establish what is in the project. Escalate only when you need engineer-led interpretation, a formal audit or migration planning.

Engineer reviewed

Small PLC Audit

£495–£795

Focused engineering review of a smaller project or defined problem area.

  • Snapshot evidence reviewed by an engineer
  • Priority logic and risk investigation
  • Defined scope agreed before work begins
  • Written engineering outcome

Engineering audit

Full Engineering Audit

£1,250–£2,500

Deeper review for larger or higher-risk PLC applications.

  • Broader code and dependency review
  • Structured findings and evidence trail
  • Engineering assumptions identified
  • Scope and deliverables confirmed manually

Discovery

Legacy Modernisation Discovery

£2,500–£5,000+

Front-end discovery before a legacy controls migration is committed.

  • Legacy code and architecture understanding
  • Migration unknowns and dependencies
  • Risk and evidence register
  • Modernisation scope developed with engineering review

What the Snapshot shows

Engineering metrics, not AI theatre

Code structure & activity

Controller and project identity, blocks, networks, calls, writes, multiple writers and investigation counts. The result model also records what the engine could and could not analyse.

Evidence confidence

Findings carry VERIFIED INFERRED or UNKNOWN evidence status so assumptions are separated from facts extracted from the project.

Confidential engineering files

Private upload architecture

PLC source projects are treated as confidential engineering files. The browser uploads directly to private object storage using a short-lived permission scoped to one opaque pathname. The Automation Outlet application does not proxy the PLC project through a normal serverless request body and does not expose a permanent private object URL.

Uploaded projects are retained only for the configured analysis/retention period and can be deleted from the customer audit view. A local Windows analysis option is planned for organisations that cannot upload PLC source code.

Engineering limitation

Code evidence is not live-machine proof

PLC Intelligence analyses the supplied project. It cannot prove current I/O state, field wiring, mechanical condition, online values, safety validation, machine timing or whether the uploaded project exactly matches the controller currently running on site.

Use the result as engineering evidence and triage. Verify critical conclusions against the live machine, drawings, backups and commissioning records.

Upload a supported PLC project and create an audit job. If the current worker is connected, analysis begins automatically; otherwise the job remains queued safely until the analysis service processes it.
