Zero Energy Networks (ZEN) laboratory has designed and developed a next generation Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) platform hardware. Two product prototypes were built using this platform. A medical grade ventilator for COVID-19 patients and a Digital Twin for a temperature controlled chamber; constructed from free and open source software.
