About NET-Automation
NET-Automation GmbH is an Austrian company for industrial automation technology and digitalization headquartered in St. Peter ob Judenburg in the Murtal district (Styria). The company develops and manufactures special machinery, test rigs, IIoT hardware (NETBEE, PHI), software solutions (PLC, HMI, SQL, C#, Python) as well as electronic devices including PCB development. Product developments include the patented wireless brake inspection systems ForceBEE and BrakeBEE for rail vehicles with up to 40 measuring points, automated test procedures and digital test reports, as well as AELA systems with tank melters for adhesive preparation for the wood industry. Further competencies include robotics, process optimization with OEE determination, quantity measurement technology, 3D printing and electrical project planning. Target industries are heavy industry, the wood and plastics industries, municipal services and rail vehicle manufacturing; customers and partners include Frankstahl and the State Railway of Thailand (SRT). With an investment volume of €3.5 million, a new high-tech production site with office building, R&D laboratory and production hall is being built, co-financed by SFG and the EU. Delivery region includes Austria, the DACH region and selected international markets.
