Special thanks to our sponsors Siemens for the support.

The technological tasks in modern machines and plants are diverse and often demanding. It's good to know there's a smart answer to all challenges regarding motion control, signal acquisition/output, closed-loop/PID control, edge computing, artificial intelligence, and machine learning with SIMATIC Technology and the SIMATIC Technology-CPUs.

Siemens is the global leader and innovator when it comes to industrial motion, robotic, and simulation applications. They are one of the world’s biggest investors in technology R&D, spending more than $6.11 billion USD per year, and has maintained that investment even throughout the global pandemic.

The integrated and scalable SIMATIC Technology automation solutions save you valuable engineering time for simple tasks as well as for complex issues and guarantee maximum efficiency and flexibility. This means One engineering framework (TIA Portal), one control (SIMATIC Technology CPU), one communication for standard automation, safety, and motion control (e.g. Profinet).
