About soft4automation
soft4automation GmbH, based in Kesselsdorf near Dresden, is a service provider for industrial automation in machine and plant engineering. Its range of services covers electrical design of circuit diagrams and fluid diagrams using EPLAN Electric P8, EPLAN Fluid, WSCAD and E3.series, as well as 3D design of junction boxes and control cabinets (Pro Panel) including routing for single-wire routing and smart wiring. For machine control systems, the team of engineers from various disciplines develops custom PLC software based on Siemens TIA Portal, CoDeSys and WinCC Unified and implements Industrial IoT solutions for machine data acquisition. The value chain also includes control cabinet construction, on-site assembly of actuators and sensors, commissioning including process start-up support, training, as well as maintenance and service. Electrical testing of portable electrical equipment is carried out in accordance with DIN VDE and DGUV. Customers come from machine and plant engineering, stage technology, pharmaceutical filter manufacturing, vacuum technology, robotics, and heating systems technology for industry and research; in addition to new systems, retrofits of existing process plants are also realized.
