Platform for Physical AI

Middleware and platform for Physical AI

Axiona is the vendor-independent software layer between robots and the outside world. It controls robots, elevators and building technology securely, neutrally and offline-capable, so automation works reliably in your operation.

Architecture

Axiona: the software layer for Physical AI

Axiona sits between your robots and the outside world. The platform translates between vendors, buildings, and IT, turning individual devices into coordinated, sovereign operations.

Axiona: the software layer

Core

Orchestration, task dispatch, and central rules.

Adapters

Interoperability with robots, buildings, and IT.

Runtime

Reliable execution, monitoring, and error handling.

Operations

Console, roles and permissions, logging, and reporting.

Outcome

Reliable operations
Sovereignty by design
Visibility and control

What you gain

One neutral layer, three structural advantages

Neutral at the core

Neutral at the core

Controls robots, building technology and interfaces in a standardized, vendor-independent way. Every new integration immediately benefits all industry solutions: the library grows, the effort shrinks.

Headless for partners

Headless for partners

Via GUI and REST, partners build their own commercial solutions without robotics know-how.

Cloud, on-premise or offline

Cloud, on-premise or offline

Encapsulated operation meets the highest compliance requirements, from GDPR to KRITIS. Even non-EU robots can run in a GDPR-compliant way.

Why a neutral layer is the safe choice

Three reasons to choose a vendor-neutral control layer now

Robotics becomes programmable

The value today is created in the software that integrates robots into your workflows, not in the hardware.

Hardware becomes interchangeable

You are not tied to a single hardware manufacturer. The neutral control layer stays, even when you switch robots.

Sovereignty becomes mandatory

You meet growing requirements such as KRITIS and NIS-2 with a vendor-neutral, encapsulable and offline-capable control layer.

Case study · hospOS

hospOS in hospital operations: robots that understand doors and elevators

At Kliniken am Goldenen Steig in Freyung, hospOS runs in live operation. Through Axiona, service robots control the KONE elevator autonomously and handle transports between floors, across vendors and during regular operation.

  • Autonomous elevator rides via the KONE integration
  • Cross-vendor fleet (Keenon T3 / W3, temi v2)
  • On-premise operation in a clinical environment

Platform and sovereignty

Technology

A standardized core connects robots, building technology and third-party systems. Three operating modes: cloud, on-premise, fully offline.

Explore the technology

Sovereignty and security

You keep data sovereignty: neutral, on-premise, offline, from GDPR to KRITIS. This lets you run even non-EU robots in a GDPR-compliant way.
