PROFINET STACK INTEGRATIONWe’ll speak PROFINET for you

The all-inclusive packageWe understand your requirements

Maximize your potential with PROFINET

PROFINET is a leading industrial Ethernet application that is becoming increasingly important.
The open standard meets all requirements for data transmission in industrial production and enables precise synchronization of machines and processes. Companies benefit from a future-proof communication solution that meets the requirements of scalable architectures and specific networks.

Meet deadlines and budget

Keeping to deadlines and budgets is crucial for the success of the project and the satisfaction of the end customer. Delays or cost overruns can jeopardize the market launch and cost trust and competitive advantages.
Precise planning and efficient implementation guarantee a smooth process, minimize risks and ensure the economic profitability of the project.

Ensure know-how

We support chip manufacturers with expert knowledge in testing, integration and certification. Through state-of-the-art test procedures, close cooperation with testing institutes and training, we ensure compliance with the highest standards and optimize the development process.

Create efficient production

The use of already certified components enables a faster market launch. Close coordination with chip manufacturers and compliance with PROFINET standards ensure smooth integration. This reduces development risks, optimizes production planning and guarantees on-time production with reliable PROFINET communication.

Maximum flexibilityStrategic partners

We are stack-neutral. This means that we are not tied to a specific manufacturer, but we can select the technologies best suited to your requirements. We are particularly familiar with the solutions of our strategic partners.

Industry 4.0Your automation project in good hands

With us, you have the choice between different stacks. Each option optimally prepares you for future challenges such as PROFINET over TSN – the decisive factor is which solution best suits your requirements.

Throughout the entire process, we rely on continuous integration and automated testing with our Embedded System Integration Check Framework (ESIC).

Our aim is to offer you the highest level of functional reliability, adherence to deadlines and budget control. When it comes to consulting, we rely on our many years of experience in industrial communication.
