PC Control customer magazine – The New Automation Technology Magazine

PC Control is Beckhoff Automation's international customer magazine, published four times a year and supplemented by additional special issues. It covers the full spectrum of New Automation Technology topics, primarily with expert interviews and technical articles on new products and technologies as well as inspiring reports on customer applications across the globe.

Beckhoff is an innovator, and has proven its status as such by setting numerous technological milestones, including the PC-based control technology philosophy and the invention of bus terminals and EtherCAT. This is also reflected in this issue of our PC Control customer magazine with the German Mechanical Engineering Award 2025, which Hans Beckhoff received for his pioneering entrepreneurial achievements, and our product highlights, ranging from TwinCAT CoAgent, TwinCAT Machine Learning Creator, and Next multi-touch Panel PCs, which are covered in technical articles and in an interview with Hans, Frederike, and Johannes Beckhoff. There are also a wide range of application reports, e.g. on b+m's compact, simplified robot design and the battery cell assembly line from IMA EV-Tech with five XTS systems.
