Full Speed Automation Acquires Renetec's Pyxis Platform

6 August 2021

Full Speed Automation, the manufacturing automation company founded by the former head of Core Automation Engineering at TESLA, has announced the purchase of Renetec's Pyxis Platform (“Pyxis”) for embedded Graphical User Interface (GUI) development.

Pyxis will be an important piece of the puzzle in Full Speed Automation's solution for manufacturing. By bringing web tools into the embedded world, Pyxis will significantly reduce time to develop interfaces and improve usability and overall aesthetics of end-solutions.

“Pyxis' unique abilities to execute and combine both web and native code in a single embedded runtime dramatically extends the reach of VITESSE™, our no-code manufacturing platform,” says Luc Leroy, founder and CEO of Full Speed Automation.

"We couldn't wish for a better company than Full Speed Automation to grow the Pyxis Platform," said Renetec CEO Sasha Shturma. "Our vision for the product is fully aligned with Full Speed Automation's team. We’ve always wanted to democratize embedded GUI development and make it available for small and large companies alike. With Full Speed Automation, Pyxis will become an open-source platform which will significantly accelerate our common mission."
