About Späni Elektro-Mechanik AG
Späni Elektro-Mechanik AG is a mid-sized Swiss company based in Altendorf on the Upper Lake Zurich, specialising in automation and control systems for mechanical engineering. Since 1972 the company has been developing automation solutions and covers the entire value chain: electrical design with Eplan, PLC programming, control cabinet construction, visualisation with web-based systems, as well as on-site installation, wiring and commissioning – in Switzerland and abroad. Production includes prototypes as well as single-unit, variant and series production of control systems for small and large machines. One in-house product is the electronic Safety Monitoring System SMS 2000 for monitoring maximum speed and braking operations in machines and systems. On the technical side, Späni AG works with Siemens components such as Simatic S7-1500, ET200SP, WinCC Unified and industrial PCs, including cloud connectivity and Industry 4.0 solutions. Reference projects include the networked control of a municipal water supply with a control system, database and mobile access. The company philosophy is based on a continuous policy of constant improvement.
