ES/S-A HOTA "Heart of the Appliance" is a open Virtualized Automation System developed on base of the Extensible Services / Server for Automation Platform.
This Automation system was the first member of the newly created ES/S-A Platform, and was subjected to replace the outdated Predecessor TAC "Terminal Automation Controller", that was both technically and schematically inferior.
The ES/S-A Core has been planned extensively in regards to stability, persistency, veriability and security. To also serve the technically sensitive subject of public facility automation, the software has been required to pass certain aspects on conventions, reliability and safety. The application is also subjected to certain requirements in engineering that point to it's origins in public applications, the stric panic escalation sequence is one of these requiements.

Overview
The first version was published early 2017. The predecessor has been phased out completely mid 2017. The first version had poor support for additional abstraction layers and experienced major issues with persistency.
The need for constant impovements to usability and interopability led the team of engineers to permanently install the current stable version in a one-of-a-kind research building, to monitor, analyze and improve the system under exceptionally real conditions.
