Enhancing industrial productivity
Creating efficient solutions
Increased automation has revolutionized industry in recent years, and the
trend is continuing. Our Totally Integrated Automation (TIA) platform
enables companies to optimize their automation solutions – no matter
what industry they’re in. The productivity and efficiency of entire factories
can be improved even further with the help of efficient motors, gears and
converters. The use of innovative and perfectly tailored drive technology
alone can yield energy savings of up to %. Maximum production perfor-
mance and response are also ensured by our Manufacturing Execution
System (MES). Thanks to intelligent data linking, companies can influence
production processes transparently and in real time.
As the use of hardware and software increases, it is becom-
ing more challenging – but also more important – to ensure
that individual systems communicate and cooperate seam-
lessly. Our Totally Integrated Automation Portal (TIA Portal)
is an engineering revolution that enables integrated, uniform
access to all automation tasks while optimizing workflows
and reducing engineering costs by as much as %.
Effective maintenance plays a vital role in industry by
increasing plant availability. But service doesn’t end here.
From planning and installation to operation and moderni-
zation, we support industrial customers with product-,
system- and application-related services throughout entire
plant lifecycles in order to reduce downtime and conserve
resources. Based on decades of vertical-market and process
expertise, our rigorous customer focus is enabling us to
enhance industrial productivity and efficiency while cutting
overall production costs.
