About i4AE
i4 Automation & Engineering GmbH (i4AE), based in Berlin, supports industrial companies in the automation of machines and production systems. Its service portfolio includes PLC programming with Siemens TIA Portal, CODESYS and WAGO, HMI/SCADA visualization with WinCC and WebVisu, electrical design and documentation with EPLAN P8, as well as retrofit and migration of legacy control systems (e.g. S5, S7-200, S7-300 to S7-1500 or CODESYS V3). This is complemented by drive technology with frequency inverters and servo drives, fieldbus integration (Profinet, Modbus, CANopen, EtherCAT) and on-site or remote commissioning. Via IIoT/DataOps connections, production data from existing systems is made evaluable through OPC UA, MQTT, SQL or edge systems. Project experience exists in production and mechanical engineering, packaging, process engineering, rail technology/testing technology, energy and hydrogen, building automation, marine/drive technology and data centers. Assignments take place in Berlin, Brandenburg, northern Bavaria and NRW, as well as nationwide, across Europe and worldwide by arrangement.
