About SATRON
SATRON Sachsen Steuerungstechnik GmbH from Zschopau develops, modernizes and maintains technical plant solutions for industry, logistics and energy. The service spectrum includes automation and PLC programming, electrical engineering and control cabinet construction, retrofit and modernization of existing systems, intralogistics and conveying technology (skid, EHB, push-skid and container conveying systems), virtual commissioning with 3D simulation and PLC testing, as well as energy technology with its own EZA controllers. In addition, the company supplies control technology for washing and leak-testing systems, water treatment and sewage treatment plants, as well as PLC-based warehouse management for high-bay warehouses. Project execution ranges from consulting and concept development through hardware and software engineering (EPLAN, AutoCAD, TIA Portal) to commissioning and remote maintenance. Customers include automotive manufacturers such as Audi, VW and Porsche as well as energy suppliers and municipal utilities. Founded in 1989, the company employs 41 people and operates throughout Europe.
