About Schmidt Elektronik
Schmidt Elektronik GmbH was a company specialised in automation technology based in Bodolz near Lindau. Its core competence was software development for PLC- and PC-based control systems as well as process control systems, complemented by electrical engineering using a CAE system, the manufacture and testing of control cabinets and operator consoles, plant simulation, commissioning, validation according to IQ/OQ/PQ as well as service and retrofit. The process control system octopus 3000 was developed in-house. Key industries were the pharmaceutical and food industries, the chemical and automotive industries as well as special machinery and plant engineering; internationally active customers came from, among others, Europe, North America, the Middle East and Asia. Founded in 1968 by engineer Walter Schmidt, the company began with meteorological special devices and electronic speed controllers for Siemens AG. The company has been closed; its activities are continued by Gläss Software & Automation in Ravensburg.
