About us
ETU Automation & Robotik GmbH, based in Schopfheim, is an engineering office and industrial development partner for electrical automation, mechatronics and EMS&R (measurement, control and regulation) technology with more than 35 years of experience. The company delivers projects from conception and planning through electrical design (EPLAN, EPLAN Fluid) and software development (PLC, CNC, robot integration, PCS7, SCADA with WinCC and Zenon) to control panel manufacturing, electrical assembly and commissioning, including virtual commissioning and the digital twin. A key focus is complete solutions in special machine building and robotics as a Certified System Integrator (CSI) of Universal Robots as well as with KUKA robots. The portfolio is complemented by test fixture building, retrofit, qualification/validation according to GMP/FDA (OQ/PQ), risk analyses according to CE, as well as service, maintenance, remote maintenance and spare parts supply. As a system- and manufacturer-independent provider, ETU serves the automotive, printing, electronics, chemical and pharmaceutical industries as well as medical and environmental technology and (special) machine building. For its own research and development activities, the company holds the BSFZ seal.
