About B&O Automation
B&O Automation GmbH, based in Untermaßfeld (Thuringia), is a service provider for automation solutions in machine and plant engineering. The company supports machine builders and production companies throughout the entire automation process: from electrical design and engineering with EPLAN Electric P8, through control cabinet construction with wiring in accordance with EN 61439 and DIN EN 60204-1, to PLC programming and on-site commissioning. Programming is carried out on a manufacturer-independent basis, including Siemens S7 (S7-1200, S7-1500) in the TIA Portal, Beckhoff TwinCAT 3, Allen-Bradley and Omron; for retrofit projects also S5 and S7-Classic. Further services include HMI visualization, mechatronics and robotics, retrofit and modernization, fault analysis, plant optimization as well as service and remote maintenance. Customers come from special-purpose machinery construction, the automotive industry, food technology, packaging technology, and plant and drive engineering. The Untermaßfeld location enables short response times in the central German region; deployments take place nationwide and internationally.
