BLACKBOX → WHITEBOX → BDM

How your machine becomes a Behavior-Defined Machine.

The behavior of your most critical machines is hidden in code today. Selmo makes it explicit, provable and your property — with method, Studio and a clear path from BlackBox to WhiteBox.

INTEREST · THE PROBLEM

Today, your machine is a BlackBox

As long as behavior lives only in code, it is neither verifiable nor transferable — and only becomes visible on failure.

Invisible

Behavior buried in code

Undocumented, scattered across PLC blocks. No one can show what the machine is actually meant to do.

Dependent

Person- & vendor-dependent

The knowledge sits with individuals and one PLC partner. Lose that, and every change becomes a risk.

Late

Only visible on failure

Deviations show up when it gets expensive — downtime, scrap, lost OEE, declining asset value.

UNDERSTAND · THE PATH

From BlackBox through WhiteBox to BDM

Six maturity levels describe the path. From L3 the behavior model becomes the WhiteBox — L4–L5 is the Behavior-Defined Machine.

L0
BlackBox
Behavior sits in code.
L1
Documented
Partly described, not formal.
L2
Explicit states
States & transitions visible.
L3
Controllable
Turning point to WhiteBox.
L4
Lifecycle
Integrity over time.
L5
Architecture
Fully model-/behavior-driven.
L0–L2 = BlackBox zone.L3 = turning point · L4–L5 = Behavior-Defined Machine.
UNDERSTAND · THE SYSTEM

What makes the path possible — and how it connects

One principle, four building blocks: together they form the Behavior Reference — and Selmo Studio generates four results from it: code, HMI, documentation and data structure.

Method

Selmo Method (PTF → process model)

Clarifies and models behavior formally: PTF (Process·Technology·Function) → process model as the Behavior Reference.

Tool

Selmo Studio

Models the Behavior Reference and auto-generates code, HMI and documentation — real and virtual identical.

Standard

Selmo Standard

The open ruleset securing structure, naming and derivability — vendor-independent and verifiable.

Operation

Selmo Activation Codes

License/activation layer that controls generated behavior and brings it into operation, provably.

= Behavior Reference → Behavior-Defined Machine
the leading, technology-independent object of your machine behavior
Code
PLC logic via PLCOpen XML, vendor-independent.
HMI
Operation & visualization: states and deviations visible.
Documentation
Operating, diagnostic & behavior docs from the model.
Data structure
Object-centric data model, clearly named.
VERIFY · HOW TO GET THERE

How you reach the BDM — step by step

A clear, modular path as a retrofit: from orientation to safe operation. You choose the stages you need.

1

Orient

Clarify position and goal: where does your plant stand, where is value/risk?

Strategy Workshop · Engineering Maturity Assessment
2

Verify

Capture the behavior of a critical machine and make it provable as a Behavior Reference.

WhiteBox Assessment · PTF Review · Process Model Pilot
3

Implement

Build the Behavior Reference, generate code/HMI, prototype and roll out — accelerated commissioning.

Behavior Engineering & Prototype · Rollout/Implementation
4

Operate & Enable

Maintain behavioral integrity, enable your team, secure it long term.

One product core and services tuned to it. You combine what your path to the BDM needs.

Product

Selmo Studio (License)

The model-based platform: model behavior, generate code/HMI/docs.

Selmo Activation Code

Activation/license layer for the provable operation of generated behavior.

Services

Strategy Workshop

Target picture, use case and roadmap for your path to the BDM.

WhiteBox Assessment

Capture a critical machine's behavior and verify it as a Behavior Reference.

Engineering Maturity Assessment
