KINGSTAR
KINGSTAR is committed to open standards (Windows, RTX64 RTOS, Ether CAT, IEC61131-3, OPC-UA) which protects our customers’ investment and to capitalizing on those standards to free machine builders from dependence on any hardware vendor through features like plug-and-play Ether CAT which enables the customer to optimize their machine controller for any smart factory setting. Using a single industrial PC, you can replace multiple hardware controllers with software-only motion controllers and machine vision quickly and cost-effectively.
About Us Mission At IntervalZero our mission is to accelerate the world’s transition to the digital economy by making digital technologies more accessible and useful to companies and people.
Vision To create PC-based machine automation software that embraces digital standards and moves machine-builders to develop controllers that can plug-n-play in the IoT and Industry 4.0 era. We believe that the first step in bridging the gap in the digital divide is to create open, standard, all-software solutions that replace proprietary, closed hardware solutions because software has the unique flexibility to share and act on information in new ways.
