About SHG-AUTOMATION
SHG-AUTOMATION GmbH, based in Dorsten, is a provider of automation solutions for industry, specialized in bakeries, mills, food businesses and building materials plants. The company develops custom control programs based on Siemens S7 (TIA Portal), visualizes plants with WinCC and plans systems with EPLAN Electric P8. In its own workshop, the company manufactures and assembles control cabinets including cable routing, and performs on-site and remote commissioning as well as maintenance and servicing. A particular focus is the modernization (retrofit) of legacy systems, such as migrating from Simatic S5 and S7 to the current S7 TIA Portal technology.
