About ISG
ISG Industrielle Steuerungstechnik GmbH is a software and technology company founded in 1987 by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Günter Pritschow and Dr.-Ing. Dieter Scheifele and headquartered in Stuttgart. With 80 employees, the company develops software solutions and technologies for industrial control and automation technology. Core products are ISG-kernel, a modular control software for CNC, robotics and motion control; ISG-virtuos, a simulation platform for creating digital twins and virtual commissioning (MiL/SiL/HiL); ISG-dirigent for automated testing of control software; and the TwinStore exchange platform for simulation models from component suppliers. In addition, real-time simulation hardware (ISG-Real-Time Targets, ISG-Workstation) is offered for hardware-in-the-loop simulations. Services include technology consulting, project planning and application development, system integration, process optimization, training and second-level support for CNC. Customers include control manufacturers as well as mechanical and plant engineering, including from the automotive industry, robotics, and packaging, textile and wood-processing machinery.

Processes & Systems
Control software for CNC, robotics, motion control
Modular software for controlling machines and systems, configurable and parameterizable by the user.
Simulation platform / digital twin
Open platform for the virtual commissioning of production systems in deterministic real time (MiL, SiL, HiL).
Test automation
Automated, reproducible testing of simulation models and control software with audit-proof documentation.
Exchange platform for simulation models
Online platform for virtual product catalogs and component models to reduce modeling times.
Real-time simulation hardware (HiL)
Ultra-compact industrial PC with 3 or 7 fieldbus interfaces (CANopen, EtherCAT, Profinet, Ethernet IP, Profibus) for cycle-synchronous real-time physics simulation.
Real-time hardware for B&R controllers
Enables loss-free, cycle-synchronous simulation via POWERLINK including POWERLINK Safety.
Complete solution for virtual commissioning
Project planning PC with real-time target and peripherals; thoroughly tested prior to delivery, including real-time capability.
