Beckhoff Automation - New Automation Technology
Beckhoff is a pioneer in PC-based control technology. Many standards in automation technology that are taken for granted today were successfully marketed as innovations early on by the family-owned company.
The product range covers the main areas of industrial PCs, I/O and fieldbus components, drive technology, automation software, automation without control cabinets and soft- and hardware for industrial image processing.
More than 70% of Beckhoff controllers are used for automation in mechanical engineering. Power and intelligence increase machine performance while reducing energy and resource consumption.
Other application areas include process technology, building automation and clean energy generation. For many Beckhoff customers, the combination of IT technology through industrial PCs and automation also ensures optimal solutions in these areas.
Flexible and open control systems are characteristic of Beckhoff. Comprehensive software libraries for sequence and motion control, measurement and control technology, image processing, artificial intelligence, communication, Industry 4.0 and edge computing, combined with modular hardware form the basis for applications in many key industries worldwide: for example, in high-tech medical devices, in wind turbines for renewable energy generation, in machines for semiconductor production, in battery and solar cell manufacturing and in electric motor production.
