Automation and artificial intelligence (AI) specialist UDMTEK announced on the 14th that it is participating in the world’s largest IT and consumer electronics exhibition, CES (Consumer Electronics Show) 2025, currently being held in Las Vegas, USA.During the exhibition, UDMTEK unveiled the global version of its “Optra Black-box”, a solution for diagnosing equipment conditions and supporting predictive maintenance in various automated system operations. The company also showcased a demo simulation integrating the system with Allen-Bradley PLCs from Rockwell Automation, the leading industrial PLC brand in the North American market.
The Optra Black-box is a solution that diagnoses equipment conditions and enables predictive maintenance during automated system operations. Similar to an aircraft’s black box, it records all operational signals at the control program level, along with video footage. When an anomaly occurs, it can reproduce the operational conditions and analyze trends and abnormal patterns using AI.

Through this, UDMTEK detects incorrect connections or errors in PLC controller programs using a Graph Neural Network (GNN) AI model capable of handling complex relationship analyses. The AI then automatically verifies whether the connections are correct, improving the efficiency of predictive maintenance for equipment. This technology is patented in Korea and is currently patent-pending in the United States.
UDMTEK stated that the exhibition successfully highlighted the uniqueness of its proprietary machine code interpretation technology and demonstrated the compatibility and effectiveness of its solution with control systems that dominate the North American market. The company also reported achieving significant results, including securing discussions with more than 30 global companies from the United States and Japan regarding the application of its solutions.
