About Zeugwerk
Zeugwerk GmbH, based in Wattens, Tyrol, was founded in 2021 by automation developers who previously developed industrial machine software, among other things at Swarovski. The company offers an integrated toolchain for TwinCAT 3.1: the object-oriented Zeugwerk Framework (Application, Units, Equipment, state machines, sequences), the IDE extension Creator, the library package manager Twinpack, and DevTools for CI/CD with automated builds, unit tests, API documentation, SBOMs, and type-safe bindings. In addition to products, engineering services are offered: senior TwinCAT development in customer projects, HMI development, Motion Control, robotics, system integration, legacy migration, and training on Git, CI/CD, and software architecture. Together with partners Plötzeneder (mechanical engineering) and Hinstech (electrical engineering, CE conformity), turnkey machines and automation systems are delivered from process definition to commissioning, with a focus on Pharma & Medtech and industrial automation. Customers include companies from digital printing, bioprocessing, electronics, and battery production, such as Durst Group, Celleo, Fibionic, Nordfels, and Swyss Electronics.
