Software Defined Automation, Boston

We’re hosting the second edition of Software Defined Factory 2026 on May 5, 2026 in Newton, MA – and we’d love to have you there.

One intense day, built for automation engineers, OT security leads, and plant-level engineering managers.

The factory is code:

• Two world-first launches: Factory Operator with cross‑platform PLC code generation and AI Watchguards for OT cybersecurity.
• Live demos on 10 real PLCs from Siemens, Rockwell, Beckhoff, and B&R – no slides, no simulations.​
• “The Gauntlet”: Live hacking on 10 real PLCs with escalating attack scenarios – audience volunteers step on stage to try and breach the defenses. The DEFCON for factories.​
• Hands-on workshop track with SDA Practitioner certification and a 30-Day Fast Track program you can start on Monday
