Requirements:

• Windows 10 or above;

ON Microsoft Store are available Build [33.11] Packages.

POWER-KI allows HYBRID PROGRAMMING, i.e. the development of applications with components created with different languages in a single package, making the most of each of them. In fact from POWER-KI it is possible to directly execute PyThon code, C / C ++ code using WRAP and javascript in the Web User Interface. In this way, for example, it is possible to create applications based on Python code that take advantage of the POWER-KI Native Cloud for the user interface or create C / C ++ functions for maximum performance.

Among the most significant features:

• Program Code as a Knowledge Base with separation between Data, Flow, Code;
• Plastic Architecture (Full-Reflective, Self-Modifiable and Persitence of executing elements);
• Hybrid programming: PWK <-> PyThon;
• Designed for Multi Threading;
• Native Cloud:
• Simple Code Syntax for easy behaviour understanding;
• Core Library (DataBase, Knowledge Base, OPC-UA ..);
• Wrap technology to extend with external or custom libraries (OpenCV, RealSense2, Snap7, Voice ...).

The WorkBench, included in the DEV distribution, is the development environment for editing:

• of the code;
• GUI Graphic User Interface;
• WUI Web User Interface (HTML5, CSS);

as well as for testing, debugging and deploy.

The ecosystem of applications ranges from Wiz and Tools for the automation of application generation and hot debugging (PWK-Insider), to applications such as PWK-ES Enterprise Server for the management of applications and Cloud services.

POWER-KI is an industrial grade language, which has found wide use in advanced factory and plant automation applications, what now is called Factory 4.0, anticipating its times by a decade. But the application possibilities range from the Web/eCommerce, to the IoT, to decision-making and management systems in general.
