Cura is an open source software, if we modify it, does the printer let us upgrade to our version?
Cura is open source software so yes you can modify it and it will still work with the printer (provided you didn't break any of the core components).
In the future we will need to control the printer, in a simple way (may be just send it some command to start a "production"), with a PLC, can we modify the software to achieve this? or modify the software in that way? Is now possible to do that?
Depending on what you're trying to do, you could probably make a plugin to carry out what you need.
There's also an API that you can use for the printer. Documentation for this is stored in the internal system of the printer. You can access this by navigating to the printer IP on your local network.
