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.

Elektro Internationaal - Unburdening with Vendor Managed InventoryRead moreOptimising internal logistics is often a challenge for panel builders, from grab stock management to getting a grip on delivery times. Especially when production is spread across multiple sites, like at Elektro Internationaal (EI) in Woerden. In 2016, the company already took a big step, together with itsme Connected Business, at their batch production site. This was related to the introduction of Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) in the form of a 2BIN system. In the near future, EI expects to start the construction of new premises, whereby all activities will be brought under one roof. At that point, the logistics for the entire production will also be optimised.
