Industrial automation

Connecting hardware with smart software

From control system and robotics engineering to advanced machine vision. We deliver custom applications, develop our own software and take care of complete system integration for smooth operation of your production.

We work with

  • Siemens
  • Omron
  • FANUC
  • Cognex
  • KEYENCE
  • EPLAN

Capabilities

What we deliver for your project

Depending on the scope we either reinforce your team or take charge of a complete part of the project.

  • Control systems

    PLC programming — program structure, machine logic, peripherals, and commissioning on site.

    Configuration and commissioning of drives and their integration with the control system.

    Siemens · Omron

  • Robotics

    Programming and commissioning of industrial robots, including communication with surrounding equipment and the host system.

    FANUC

  • Machine vision

    Integration of camera systems for inspection, measurement and code reading directly in the line.

    Cognex · KEYENCE · Omron

  • Electrical design

    Design of the low-voltage electrical part of machines and lines — schematics, documentation and interfaces to the control system.

    EPLAN

  • Industrial PC applications

    Development of industrial PC applications — operator interfaces, device communication and data collection.

    We develop our own software for industrial applications — where off-the-shelf products are not enough. iziSPECT is our own application for in-line inspection and measurement.

  • Integration and data

    Connecting production equipment to host systems and databases such as MES, ERP and others.

    Example of a PLC connection in the line

    Logger configuration in the application: a list of four loggers on the left, a form with the PLC address, trigger and the list of logged tags in the middle.
    Logger configuration in YAML text form — the same values as in the form, just written in a configuration file.
    PLC data logging dashboard: four machines, each with record counts, a trigger value and a table of logged data.

    Here you can see the connection to an existing PLC in the line, logging and writing to the database. The database is part of the line, so logging continues during a network outage and the customer can read the data back later. A failed data record will not stop production, unless the customer wants it to.

iziSPECT — our own machine vision application

Currently preparing for you

iziSPECT is our own application for in-line inspection and measurement. It connects to any camera, learns patterns and passes the result to the operator, the PLC and the host system.
