In the Factory of the Future the entire production system will be fully digitalized and interconnected. The basis for this is a digital backbone that enables production equipment to be integrated into such a digital factory.
Smart automated equipment is not only more flexible but also mobile. Future production systems thus are capable to be reconfigured depending on changing requirements during the full lifecycle.
Broetje-Automation provides the equipment necessary for this transition towards the Factory of the Future. All our machines come with a digital twin and a harmonized HMI concept. Our inhouse know-how and specifically for the needs of production equipment developed universal carrier systems make future smart and mobile applications possible.
