We will support your application with complete aftersales services, including inspection, maintenance, training and spare parts supply.
Manufacturers face constant pressure to produce goods faster and respond to market requirements in near real time. They have to get new, increasingly complex products to market as quickly as possible. More efficient engineering, more consistent communication and more common diagnosis for all their drive technology are critical in boosting productivity. With Tectra Automation, these high performance, intelligent production floors are now a reality.
Bosch Rexroth technologies and engineering tools are developed to interact perfectly through standardised interfaces.
This reduces project engineering, installation and start-up requirements by up to 80 %.
Bosch Rexroth’s Open Core platform is the most open ecosystem for future-proof automation and manufacturing execution solutions, allowing it to be used anywhere in the world. Its system solutions operate via the internationally standardised sercos automation bus, and their unique flexibility offers the highest level of protection for your investment.

VIEW PRODUCTThere are many advantages of automation, including:
Factory automation refers to the automated control of machinery, systems and processes on a factory or workshop floor. Automating previously labour intensive tasks can lead to huge increases in productivity, efficiency, quality and safety, ultimately lowering overall costs of production with real time control and visibility of processes.
Every industry makes use of automation to speed up certain tasks and become more efficient. From mining, power generation and chemicals processing to food and beverage, manufacturing and water treatment, industrial automation allows companies to improve their performance and lower their costs.
Traditionally, automation is seen as having high initial capital costs with fast returns on investment. Automation can be introduced flexibly on your production floor, beginning with leveraging maximum data from existing technologies into some form of intelligence platform. Tectra Automation will work with you in building flexible automated control systems according to your production and business goals.
