Modular architecture, testing and lifecycle support
STone introduces a modular software architecture that supports faster development, smoother teamwork and reusable application logic across different projects. Development teams can reduce repetitive activities, improve consistency and adapt proven software structures to a wide range of HVAC/R devices based on CAREL programmable controllers.
Advanced testing, debugging and simulation capabilities help validate software earlier in the development process. Teams can analyse behaviour, identify issues and refine control strategies before deployment, reducing the time needed to complete complex projects while supporting higher software quality.
STone extends its value across the full unit lifecycle: from design and development to commissioning, local maintenance and remote service. This continuity makes applications easier to manage, update and maintain over time, creating a more intuitive experience for the people who develop and support HVAC/R equipment.
Cybersecurity and AI-assisted programming
Cybersecurity is built into the STone ecosystem to support connected HVAC/R systems. By integrating advanced security standards, STone helps protect software, controllers and connected assets against unauthorised access and tampering, making security part of the development lifecycle from the beginning.
STone copilot brings generative artificial intelligence directly into the programming environment. Engineers can describe the required function in natural language and receive an optimised draft of code, helping reduce repetitive programming tasks and giving technical teams more time to focus on innovation, performance and system optimisation.
AI-assisted programming also supports debugging, standardisation and knowledge sharing. STone copilot can analyse code, suggest solutions and help create cleaner, more consistent software, supporting both junior programmers and experienced engineers in their daily work.
With STone, CAREL brings invisible intelligence behind HVAC/R development. Modular architecture, lifecycle support, cybersecurity and AI-assisted programming work together to turn complexity into a smoother, safer and more scalable development experience.
