Electrical and Information Technology for Industry and Production

We develop and modernize control systems, electrical installations and industrial software. From the first planning step to commissioning, we make sure every discipline fits together technically.

End-to-end solutions for machines, electrical installations and IT systems.

Technology That Fits Your Actual Needs

Our solutions follow the processes and requirements on site. Usability, maintainability and clean technical execution come first.

Service and Support Beyond Project Completion

After commissioning, we support you with faults, maintenance, changes and later extensions.

When existing technology reaches its limits

Challenges in Industry & Production

Outdated control systems, disconnected systems and manual work steps make many production plants harder to run. We analyze the existing technology and develop a solution that fits the installed base and the operational requirements.

  • Outdated Control Technology

    Existing controllers are often hard to extend, poorly documented or no longer fully supported by the manufacturer.

  • Missing System Integration

    Machines, controllers and business software do not exchange data, so information has to be transferred several times or by hand.

  • Unnecessary Effort from Manual Processes

    Data is entered by hand, orders are transferred manually or processes are documented more than once. That costs time and invites errors.

  • Downtime & Inefficiency

    Unclear causes of faults, a lack of transparency and insufficient process monitoring lead to production losses.

  • Retrofit and Upgrade of Existing Plants

    Integrating new control, electrical and IT technology into existing plants requires precise planning and coordinated execution.

Our Solutions

We support you with new plants, retrofits and problems in day-to-day operation, keeping electrical engineering, control and software aligned with each other.

    Electrical Engineering

    We take care of electrical planning, create and update schematics in EPLAN and build the matching control cabinets, including assembly, wiring, labeling, testing and documentation.

    PLC Control and Operation

    We program and modernize controllers with Siemens SIMATIC S7 and TIA Portal. For operation and visualization, we build suitable HMI solutions, including WinCC and WinCC Unified.

    Software and System Connectivity

    We connect machines, controllers and business software with each other. Depending on the plant, we use OPC UA, Modbus, ISO-on-TCP and custom-built interfaces.

    Retrofit and Modernization

    We modernize existing machines and plants and replace only the components where it makes technical sense. We handle electrical planning, control cabinet construction, PLC programming, visualization and commissioning.

    Troubleshooting and Technical Service

    We support you with faults, maintenance and technical changes to existing plants. This includes electrical fault finding, PLC diagnostics in TIA Portal, adjustments in WinCC Unified and checks of industrial interfaces and networks.

Projects from Practice

Our projects range from individual PLC retrofits to complete solutions combining electrical engineering, automation and software. The following projects show how varied the tasks can be in practice.

What you can count on

What sets working with us apart

Disciplines Properly Aligned

We look at electrical engineering, automation and IT as one. That way planning, control and system connectivity fit together.

Tailored to Your Plant

Every solution is based on the existing technology, the processes on site and the actual requirements.

At Home with Existing Plants

We find our way around older control cabinets, controllers and programs too, and develop a suitable solution for continued operation.

Implemented Transparently

Schematics, PLC programs and changes are structured clearly and documented in a way that is easy to understand.

There for You After Commissioning

We do not just see plants through to acceptance, we also support maintenance, optimization and later upgrades.

Dedicated Point of Contact

From planning to later service, one contact person stays familiar with your project and your plant.

Discuss your project
