About Deger Automation
Deger Automation GmbH is an automation company based in Schönau in Lower Bavaria with over 20 years of experience with machines and systems. The company plans and programs new systems and special-purpose machinery using modern Siemens controllers (S7-1500, S7-1200 in TIA Portal, ET 200SP) as well as Beckhoff controllers (TwinCAT 3, embedded PCs, EtherCAT terminals), in each case according to the customers' programming standards. A second focus is the modernization of existing systems, specialized in discontinued Klöckner Moeller controllers (PS4, PS416, PS3, PS306, PS316, PS24): reading out and decompiling programs, troubleshooting, spare parts supply, and retrofit to Siemens or Beckhoff. Services include concept development, bus system integration (PROFINET, PROFIBUS, EtherCAT, IO-Link, Modbus), safety technology, visualization, on-site commissioning, and remote maintenance via VPN. Customers include special-purpose machinery construction, plant engineering, process technology, and other industries; the control technology and spare parts are in use at customers in 29 countries.
