About DA Dynamic Automation
DA Dynamic Automation GmbH is an engineering service provider for industrial automation headquartered in Darmstadt. The company programs and commissions industrial robots (KUKA, ABB, FANUC, YASKAWA, Universal Robots, Stäubli) as well as PLC controls based on Siemens TIA Portal, supports troubleshooting remotely and on site, and modernizes existing systems in the context of retrofit projects. Its services also include offline simulation and virtual commissioning (KUKA.Sim Pro, RobotStudio, Process Simulate), electrical and mechanical design, machine vision integration (Cognex, Keyence) and project management from planning through to acceptance. The six co-founders have been working together since 2011 and, through Gravity Robotics founded in 2015, previously realized projects for BorgWarner, Mercedes-Benz, Magna and Porsche, particularly in battery module production and automotive final assembly. Customers come from the automotive, battery manufacturing, industrial production and special-purpose machinery sectors.

Quality
Quality is measured in terms of uptime, cycle time and error rate; vision systems (Cognex/Keyence) enable, among other things, dimensional inspections down to ±0.1 mm. Project work includes risk management, acceptance and complete standards-compliant documentation.
