Push your ideas two steps ahead
Turning ideas into projects – that is the objective of the ctrlX developR Challenge. But not simply in a hackathon – in an international idea and developer competition because that fits in with ctrlX AUTOMATION. We invite you to realize your ideas with our revolutionary control system ctrlX CORE. This format gives you the opportunity to implement your creative ideas for which the proper industrial control has been missing so far.
Be a part of it and write automation history with us!
