On-Premise First
Catfish OS runs on your network, next to the machines it controls.
CATFISH OS / INDUSTRIAL SOFTWARE
Catfish OS
The Operating System for Robotic Production
Program in Studio, coordinate in Control X, run the floor in Mission Control and record every weld in Proof.
OVERVIEW
One Software Layer Across Every Machine
ARC-R, ARC-R Dual and ARC-X all run the same Catfish OS. A job moves from CAD to robot program to weld record without changing tools, and what you learn on one machine carries to the next.
CATFISH OSMISSION CONTROL
ARCHITECTURE
How the Modules Fit
Work flows left to right. Connect links the whole layer to the systems already in your plant.
MODULES
Eight Modules, One System
Each module does one job. Together they carry the work from CAD to weld record.
DEPLOYMENT
Your Floor, Your Data
How Catfish OS is deployed and who owns what it records.
You Own Production Data
Programs, weld records and machine data belong to you.
Interfaces Confirmed per Site
Each plant-system connection is scoped and tested for your deployment.
Safety Stays Independent
No software layer, including AI, can override the safety system.
