Where Control Systems Meet Robotics
AI is making robots smarter.
Getting them onto a live production line, safely, reliably, every cycle, is still engineering.
That's what we do.
Safety architecture, PLC logic and handshakes, fieldbus integration, and commissioning for AI-driven and traditional automation alike.

01 / Capabilities
Our Expertise
Deep knowledge across the full automation stack, from PLCs to robots to AI-powered solutions.
Robot Simulation
Feasibility studies, virtual commissioning, and digital twins with NVIDIA Isaac Sim, ROS 2, Process Simulate, RoboGuide, RobotStudio.
Robotics Integration
KUKA, FANUC, ABB, Universal Robots. Welding, material handling, and precision assembly across platforms.
PLC Systems
Siemens TIA Portal, CODESYS, Beckhoff TwinCAT, Allen Bradley. From standalone machines to full production lines.
System Integration
End-to-end integration of robotic cells, production lines, and automated assembly. Disparate systems working as one.
AI & Vision
Perception, autonomous manipulation, and adaptive motion control: from vision-guided robotics to closed-loop correction, integrated into real production cells.
Industrial Protocols
OPC-UA, PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, EtherCAT, Modbus. Seamless communication between PLCs, robots, and enterprise systems.
SCADA, MES & Plant Data
SCADA/HMI, MES integration, and OPC UA data acquisition from the line to higher-level systems. The data foundation for cycle time, throughput, and OEE improvement.
Corporate Training
Hands-on training for your engineering team, customized to your equipment, delivered at your facility.
02 / PHYSICAL AI DEPLOYMENT
Even intelligent robots have to follow protocol
AI-driven manipulation, autonomous cells, and humanoid platforms are moving from lab demos to live factories. Every one of those deployments needs a deterministic layer: safety, interlocks, handshakes, and fallback behavior that work every cycle. We engineer that layer.
01
Sim-to-Real & Virtual Commissioning
Digital twins of cells and lines in NVIDIA Isaac Sim and ROS 2. Validate integration before hardware exists, catch failures in simulation, and shorten on-site commissioning. Simulation never covers everything, so we engineer for the gap it leaves.
02
Safety Architecture for Autonomous Cells
ISO 13849, ISO 10218, and TS 15066 applied to systems that decide their own next move. Zone management, interlocks, multi-robot coordination, and safety-rated monitored stops.
03
The PLC-to-AI Handshake Layer
OPC UA, PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, and EtherCAT bridging between robot autonomy stacks and line-level controls. Deterministic sequencing, watchdogs, and defined fallback behavior.
04
Brownfield Integration
Autonomous systems in facilities that were never designed for them. We integrate with your existing MES and SCADA, your safety concept, and the teams who run the line every day.
FOR MANUFACTURERS
Autonomous systems that run in your plant
You're being sold AI-driven robots and autonomous cells. We make sure they actually run in your plant: safely, reliably, and integrated with the systems you already have.
- Safety concepts and interlocks per ISO 13849 and ISO 10218
- Integration with your existing PLCs, MES, and SCADA
- Commissioning, SAT/FAT, and operator handover
FOR ROBOTICS OEMS & STARTUPS
Your translation layer to the factory floor
Your perception and planning are world-class. Your customer's factory speaks PROFINET, safety relays, and PackML. We bridge that gap: safety architecture, controls integration, commissioning, deployment readiness.
- Safety architecture and standards compliance before your pilot
- PLC handshakes, fieldbus bridging, and fallback behavior
- On-site commissioning experience your team can lean on

04 / ABOUT NORDSTERN
Your North Star in Industrial Automation
Most automation projects don't fail because of bad technology. They fail because the people solving the problem don't fully understand it.
We're not a staffing firm. We're the engineers who do the work. PLC and robotics under one roof, from AI-driven cells to classic lines. From design through virtual commissioning to SAT.
We work across platforms because your production line does too: one point of contact, no coordination delays.

GlobalReach
German Precision. American Drive. Zero Translation Layer.
Berlin-based. American-founded. One partner, no coordination delays.
