Futuristic topics require end-to-end automation
Machines need to become more precise, flexible, and intelligent while remaining economical and scalable in the long term.
See how PC-based control can integrate control, motion, communication, safety, measurement technology, image processing, robotics, and AI tools into a unified architecture. This builds an automation system that can be adapted to your machine and your tasks – open and future-proof with high scalability – instead of one-off isolated solutions.
Experience seamless integration live at SPS 2026 in Nuremberg from November 24–26.
We look forward to exchanging ideas with you at Booth 406 in Hall 7.
From precise synchronization to physical AI
See actual applications for modern machine automation in a real machine, live in action and working as one:
- highly dynamic motion applications and robotics
- precise synchronization with EtherCAT
- integrated safety, measurement technology, and vision
- physical AI in real machining processes
- XPlanar floating movers
Find out how innovative technologies can be turned into practical solutions for your automation tasks.
The engineering foundation for your machine
From compact embedded PCs to a high-performance industrial servers, PC-based control lets you scale your automation to suit your application.
TwinCAT provides a common engineering foundation for integrated development of control, motion, safety, vision, and other machine functions.
EtherCAT assures precise communication all the way down to the field level.
