About KERN Industrie Automation
KERN Industrie Automation is a company founded in 1994 and headquartered in Höhr-Grenzhausen (Rhineland-Palatinate), part of the internationally oriented AIC Group (Automazioni Industriali Capitanio), which can look back on a tradition of more than 90 years. The company specializes in automation and process control technology and covers all requirements of measurement, control and regulation technology in plant engineering for the steel and iron industry – from hot and cold flat production to rolling mills and pickling and hot-dip galvanizing lines. Its range of services includes electrical design, software development (Siemens S7 TIA, WinCC), control cabinet construction, plant and special-purpose machinery installation, commissioning and maintenance, as well as safety-oriented plant modernization (retrofit) without unplanned production downtime. Further business areas are protection systems for occupational safety and fire protection, robotics integration, drive technology, and mobile, decentralized distribution centers for parcel logistics. In addition to the steel industry, the company serves mechanical engineering, the chemical industry, environmental protection, metallurgy, the aluminum industry and logistics. In addition to its German sites in Höhr-Grenzhausen and Iserlohn-Letmathe, it has branches in Prague, Shanghai, Odolo (Italy), New York, Bengaluru and São Paulo.
