About A&C
A&C Automationssysteme & Consulting GmbH is an instrumentation and control (I&C) service provider based in Salzburg that has been implementing industrial plant automation for over 40 years. Its range of services includes consulting, hardware planning (basic and detail engineering), software engineering from function diagrams and control applications to HMI and commissioning, turnkey projects with process control systems and PLC-based machine controls, as well as migrations of existing control systems. Further core areas are industrial OT networks with configuration, design and remote maintenance management, and camera- and sensor-based testing and inspection systems. With its own AI-based camera system VISTA LIS, A&C inspects, among other things, transparent objects; the QCS system ACPro supports quality control systems with cross and longitudinal profile control. Platforms used include Siemens PCS7 and the TIA Portal, ABB System 800xA, Rockwell PlantPAx, Honeywell, Beckhoff TwinCAT and B&R. Its industries range from paper, energy, plastics and coating to cement, automotive and steel, through to intralogistics, the wood processing industry and wastewater treatment. In 2023 the company received the Austrian Export Prize as well as the Salzburg Business Prize WIKARUS.
