What is behind Beckhoff Automation? The Bergisch Land Mechanical Engineering Network was given a glimpse behind the scenes.
On July 10, the Bergisch Land Mechanical Engineering Network visited Beckhoff Automation GmbH & Co. KG in Verl to learn about the family-owned company’s production and latest developments firsthand.
More than 5,000 employees, over two-thirds of whom are based in Verl, produce high-quality automation technology “Made in Germany” – a success story that once began in a garage.
Even though one day is not enough to see all the local production areas, the team led by Dipl.-Ing. Wilm Schadach and Marco Kulich made an exciting selection: from Europe’s leading primary production for electronic components to the latest applications in mechanical engineering.
A particular highlight for the participants was the MX system – Beckhoff’s pluggable system solution for cabinet-free automation, which opens up new possibilities in mechanical engineering.
Many thanks to Beckhoff for the open insights and the excellent organization! The Bergisch Land Mechanical Engineering Network is delighted to have Beckhoff as an active member of the network.
