About us
HR-Automation GmbH was founded in 2012 in Salzburg and is an internationally active industrial automation company headquartered in Oberalm near Hallein. Its portfolio covers industrial automation technology (PLC, HMI, process control with Siemens TIA/PCS 7 and Wago, redundant PROFIBUS/PROFINET architectures), software development based on the zenon platform from COPA-DATA, and electrical planning and documentation with EPLAN P8 and alternative CAE systems. In addition, together with partners, the Salzburg-based company offers control cabinet construction based on Rittal systems (power and control distribution boards to DIN EN 61439), electrotechnical assembly and installation up to medium-voltage systems, and on-site commissioning including employee training. Reference projects include hydroelectric power plants, the paper industry, and water treatment. Managing Director is Harald Rettenbacher, who draws on 35 years of experience in electrical engineering prior to founding the company.
