SAPIUSAI PLC
Free 7-day trial
A colleague for your automation work
From project documents to PLC programs and HMI screens. Sapius reasons with you, uses project tools and keeps decisions, sources and checks together. In TIA it writes, imports into a copy, compiles and fixes; for other environments it prepares and works with dedicated formats.
Connect your supported AI account or your own API. A paid Sapius subscription also includes €10 of AI balance each month. Manufacturer tools require their software and licences on your workstation.

Ten motors with PID: watch Sapius analyse the project, create the blocks and check them in TIA Portal.
Why Sapius
One workspace to read project documents, develop the program and prepare the operator interface. Project context stays with your conversations, files and checks.
Describe the block the way you would to a colleague. It writes the SCL, imports it into the project and compiles. If TIA reports errors, it reads them, fixes them and compiles again. What’s left for you is the review.
A workmate, not a code vending machine. It searches the manuals and signal lists, asks you for what’s missing instead of making it up, and talks through with you how to set up the work. What you decide together stays written in the job.
Choose how to collaborate: individual confirmations or Everything mode to continue on TIA copies without stopping at every import. Sapius prepares copies and archives before changes. You remain in charge of commissioning.
How it works
The same steps you take, minus the repetitive part. You stay in command.
Point it to the folder with manuals, signal lists and project exports. Sapius copies the files into the job and reads them. Then you tell it what you need.
When it uses your documents, it cites file, page and line: you know where it comes from.

It works on a copy of the project, in the folder you choose: the original stays where it is. Bringing the block into the real project is up to you, when you’re happy with it.

PLC · HMI · communication
Choose PLC family and protocol separately. Sapius uses the right formats and tools, from source code to operator interface. IDE import and compilation require the manufacturer’s software and licences.
Blocks, new DBs and UDTs, calls, hardware, classic WinCC and PLCSIM Advanced tests.
L5X analysis and generation, ST routines, tags and data types. Changes in new exports for your Studio 5000 workflow.
ST sources, export analysis and native visualizations. Import and compilation through ScriptEngine; XML exchange for Control Expert.
Read TwinCAT projects, edit POUs in a copy and build locally with XAE installed.
Design-time NetLogic for FactoryTalk Optix; CSV tags and macros for EasyBuilder Pro. Reusable material for your HMI project.
S7, Modbus TCP, OPC UA and EtherNet/IP: dedicated settings, explicit connection tests and timestamped reads with quality.
Operion · the shop-floor runtime
Operion opens the package of screens, tags and commands prepared in Sapius. It communicates through S7, Modbus TCP, OPC UA and EtherNet/IP and shows the shop-floor overview. It runs independently, without Sapius, AI or Internet.
Screenshots of Operion on a demo line.
Five states: active, stopped, in transition, fault, unknown. Fault overrides everything, and data that isn’t arriving never turns green.
Each workstation has its own Operion. If one goes down, the others carry on: no central server to maintain.
Viewer, operator, maintainer, administrator. No factory-default password: you create the first administrator yourself.
Every command is logged before it goes out: who, when, which tag, which value. Then it tells you how far it got: written, acknowledged and, if the command declares it, the feedback from the field.
Remote support
When you need a hand, the Operion administrator opens a support session and reads a code out to the technician. The technician reaches through that PC the PLCs and ports the plant opens to them, over an encrypted connection.

Included for the technician, on Windows
Not charged separately: download it from your account area and sign in with your account.
The technician’s program. With the code the Operion administrator reads out, or with a paired workstation, the technician reaches from their own PC the PLCs and ports the plant opens to them, over an encrypted connection.
Same licences x64 PCs and 64-bit Raspberry Pi
The per-workstation licence is the same as on Windows. Download it from your account area.
Operion also runs on Linux: on the shop-floor PC, on the panel, on the box. Same package, same synoptic.
Requirements
Just a few things, and your engineering office already has most of them. The installer brings the rest.
Works in a virtual machine too.
Installation
One Sapius installer for the engineering PC, including its engine and components. One Operion installer for the shop-floor PC. Choose your AI connection and project family, then start with your project.
Questions
Sapius develops and checks work on project copies. Downloads and operations on a real PLC remain yours. Reads use the connection configured in your project. Everything mode continues imports into the TIA copy under your chosen consent; you can change mode at any time.
Sapius works on a copy of the project, in the folder you choose. You bring the block into the real project yourself, as you would with a colleague’s: copy it in TIA from one project to the other, or import its SCL source, which stays among the job files. Or you carry on working on the copy.
In TIA it develops FBs and FCs in SCL, creates new DBs and UDTs and integrates program calls. It can work with XML exports, including existing networks, preserving their content and checking the result with the TIA compiler.
It can integrate calls in Main on the working copy and check compilation. Everything mode includes these edits. The F program and safety logic remain the designer’s responsibility.
Sapius keeps the source and verification results. In the TIA workflow it imports and compiles on a copy; other formats are checked in the manufacturer software available on your PC. Review, testing and commissioning remain yours.
Sapius works with TIA Portal from V16 to V20, with Openness: choose your version and go.
Alongside TIA Portal, tools cover Rockwell L5X files, CODESYS and Machine Expert, Control Expert exchange files and TwinCAT projects. For HMIs: classic WinCC in TIA, CODESYS visualizations, Optix NetLogic and Weintek tags and macros. Import and compilation require compatible manufacturer software; the manual explains each family’s workflow.
Yes. Sapius installs wherever TIA is, in a virtual machine too, and the licence activates there.
Choose a supported ChatGPT account, compatible API or Sapius AI in settings. The catalogue lists available models and rates; local endpoints require tool compatibility. New conversations use your choice; existing ones keep their original profile.
Your archive stays on your PC. With your own account or API, required content goes to your selected provider; Sapius AI routes it through the Sapius gateway to the listed provider. Optional shared knowledge is separate: only reviewed general technical notes, never automatic publication of project data.
Choose the documents and check your client agreements. Required content is processed through the selected AI connection. Sapius AI is covered by the privacy notice and Annex A of the terms; your own account or API is also governed by your provider agreement.

In the customer portal, create your business account, complete billing details and accept the terms using the email code. On Purchases, choose a licence and complete payment through Stripe. After payment confirmation, the licence is available in your portal. Activate the trial directly there.
Operion supervision runs locally without AI. Remote assistance, Box licence renewal and other remote services need a connection. Sapius needs the network for the model and your account.
Yes. Write to us through the form: we’ll show it to you remotely, on an example close to your plant.

Sapius was born at JIT Engineering, built by a PLC programmer who works on industrial plants. On a real job, with an AI agent and his own way of working in TIA, he finished in two days work that, by his own estimate, would have taken twenty. Sapius is that method, built into a program.
