Automation technology
Automation technology is multifaceted. For example, in order for a new vehicle to be built on a production line, a wide variety of robots, processing machines and transport systems are required, each with their associated control systems. Drives have to be synchronised, welding heads positioned and robots controlled. All of this data is collated in the automation system. Modern process control systems, development and diagnostic tools enable the operator to access all data. Communication systems ensure the smooth exchange of information between sensors, controllers and actuators within individual processing stations and far beyond. Many computers, controllers and intelligent sensors have to work together to keep production running. By selecting the right components, configuring them correctly and developing the appropriate automation software, our engineers ensure that this co-operation functions smoothly.
Automation as the key to efficient operation
In many industries, a high degree of automation is the only way to achieve cost-effective operation. One of the reasons for this is that automation technology ensures reliable processes. The duration of automation projects is becoming ever shorter. The required functionality and complexity are increasing while market conditions are becoming more price-sensitive. Standardised and modular solutions are in demand. Our consulting engineers are involved in automation projects from product development through testing and validation to application and customisation to the target environment. End-to-end documentation and certification aspects round off our portfolio. Applications in Industry 4.0, Smart Factory and infrastructure aspects such as configuration, communication, data handling and interaction between systems and components are also areas of expertise that we master.
Our expertise for your automation solution
In the coming years, robotics and automation technology, networking, modularisation, standardisation and energy efficiency will be the dominant trends in industry. As a technology specialist, we have the necessary experience to meet these trends and develop cost-effective solutions for future challenges. For example, we can support you in the field of switchgear construction with assembly, wiring and functional testing. Our expertise ranges from small switch boxes to large switchgear systems. We provide support with automation solutions, for example for pump control systems, water treatment and production systems and conveyor technology.
