ctrlX AUTOMATION is an ecosystem which contains all hardware and software components. It also provides apps which allow users to solve their tasks individually or even develop their own apps. The automation toolkit, which is open in all directions, thus achieves independence from individual providers. In the interest of users and third-party providers, ctrlX AUTOMATION is continuously being opened up and expanded. The partner network ctrlX World is growing steadily. It expands the ctrlX AUTOMATION ecosystem with hardware and, in particular, more and more apps which can be downloaded from the ctrlX Store. This creates an automation world that is open to all and knows almost no boundaries.
