CDP Studio is a control and monitoring system development platform from Norway-based CDP Technologies AS. It is positioned as a way to move from traditional PLC automation to modern PC-based control software. Designed for automation systems, IoT, and edge systems, it emphasizes “Any hardware. Any Code. One platform” and is suitable for building industrial control, HMI, data acquisition, simulation, redundancy, and long-term operations and maintenance systems.
The platform supports both low-code graphical configuration and full-code development. Automation engineers can work in a way similar to graphical PLC programming, writing less code and relying more on configuration, while software developers can use C++, JavaScript, Python, scripting languages, and technologies such as Qt/QML and HTML5. On the hardware side, it supports industrial PCs, industrial controllers, Raspberry Pi, and routers, with target systems covering Linux/Windows and ARM/x86. In terms of the industrial ecosystem, the materials mention protocols such as MQTT, OPC UA, CANopen, Modbus, DDS, NMEA, and SNMP, as well as data capabilities including databases, logging, Timescale, PostgreSQL, and SQLite. Newer versions also include AI Assistant, AI Code Assist, Metrics System, 3D HMI, redundancy, and enhanced system analysis.
Pricing is straightforward: the non-commercial edition is free, and all plans include a 30-day trial. Start-up costs €129/month, Standard costs €495/month, and Enterprise requires contacting sales. The Intelligent Edge and Cloud extension costs €109/user/month. A key advantage is that there are no runtime license fees for end applications, which is useful for industrial vendors that need to deliver large numbers of devices or projects. Payment by credit card is supported, while annual payments can be made by bank transfer.
The main strengths are its coverage of the full lifecycle from development, HMI, simulation, testing, and deployment to more than 20 years of maintenance; its support for both automation engineers and software engineers; and its relatively broad hardware, protocol, and database integrations. It also provides consulting, training, a support portal, chat, and phone support. The downsides are that the commercial Standard plan is relatively expensive, the product is clearly focused on the industrial control vertical, and it may not be a good fit for general-purpose developer tooling users. Enterprise pricing, some hardware compatibility lists, and local support information for China still need further confirmation.
CDP Studio is better suited to manufacturing, maritime, energy, process control, industrial IoT, edge computing, robotics education, and research teams—especially companies that want to reduce PLC lock-in and build a reusable, modular control platform. The provided materials do not state how well it can be accessed from mainland China. Although payment by credit card and bank transfer is supported, cross-border procurement, invoicing, compliance, and technical support time zones should be evaluated independently. Comparable alternatives include traditional PLC IDEs, Codesys, Siemens TIA Portal, SCADA/HMI platforms, Qt/Qt Creator, and Node-RED.
