Custom control electronics and software for industrial automation – development, manufacturing and control cabinet construction from a single source
A+P Microcomputer GmbH
NorderstedtNew on Amplifa
Electronics engineering firm for over 40 years
A+P Microcomputer GmbH is a privately owned electronics engineering firm based in Norderstedt in the greater Hamburg area. Since 1982 the company has developed, designed and manufactured custom control systems for national and international customers. Its value chain includes hardware and software development including PCB design, PLC programming, machine vision, and complete electronics manufacturing of prototypes and small series from a quantity of 1, semi-automated cable assembly, potting of electronics, in-house programming of microcontrollers and control cabinet construction. Since its founding, the core business has been control systems for weighing and packaging of piece goods such as fruit and vegetables; other applications come from medical technology, barrier systems, filling technology, order picking, engine test rigs and machines for cleaning ship hulls. All products are tested in the company's own test laboratory, and the company offers long-term maintenance, repair and redesign of existing systems – including control systems that are in some cases over 30 years old.
