Following the company’s establishment in 1980, Beckhoff pioneered a control principle that has since defined many of the established standards in automation technology such as PC-based control. The core idea is simple – bundling all automation processes on one CPU, with one universal software platform and one control system. The effect: a seamlessly integrated control platform that enables new application opportunities, thanks to the optimized utilization of increasingly powerful, standard hardware. In addition, users enjoy significant efficiency improvements and a competitive edge gained through their partnership with Beckhoff.
The success of the PC-based control philosophy speaks for itself: Today Beckhoff is represented in more than 75 countries. The company provides a product portfolio that covers all areas of PC-based control technology, and can be scaled to answer all engineering requirements from simple to complex: IPC, I/O, motion, automation software as well as control cabinet-free automation.
