About us
Kärcher Steuerungstechnik GmbH, based in Fellbach (Schmiden), supplies complete control configurations for industrial plants in the fields of logistics, process engineering and production. Its range of services includes conception, mechanical and electrical special designs, control cabinet construction, electrical installation, PLC programming (Siemens S7, SEW MOVI-PLC), process visualization (VisAM, WinCC, ProTool, InTouch), software development as well as host computer systems for industrial automation. A key focus is the manufacture and control of automated guided vehicle systems (AGV) for picking and shipping areas. The company works with CAD systems (MEGACAD, AUTOCAD) and CAE systems (EPLAN, ELCAD, E³) and realizes projects, among others, for continuous casting systems in foundry technology. Reference customers include ACO Guss, Ansorge/Maggi, Woolworth, SSI Schäfer Noell, Eisenmann, Aberle and Dynamit Nobel. After project handover, the company offers commissioning, training, remote maintenance, 24-hour service and individual maintenance contracts.
