About SABO Software & Engineering

SABO Software & Engineering GmbH was founded in 1999 by former Translift employees and specializes in electric overhead monorail systems. The company plans and implements complete systems from mechanics through electronics to software, develops custom controls (conventional or PLC) including process control and visualization, and manufactures control cabinets in accordance with applicable safety standards. Further services include maintenance, fault support, spare parts supply, optimization of existing systems as well as remote maintenance with 24-hour call-out. Since November 2017, SABO also offers services in the field of traction power, including the engineering of complex overhead contact line and switchgear systems with AutoCAD and FACDA, earthing concepts, safety verification (NIV) and owner representation. Since December 2022, the head office has been located in the Lumen Park in Schenkon; previously the company was based in Küssnacht am Rigi. Customers come from intralogistics and rail technology.
