More than 35 years of combined experience in automation and PLC engineering
Strong focus on virtual commissioning and structured project validation
Stable PLC software, virtual commissioning and reliable support ensure projects are completed on schedule and within budget.
Typical fields of application
Our services are aimed at machine and plant manufacturers as well as industrial companies that develop, operate or modernize complex special-purpose machines and automated production systems.
Challenges in machine and plant engineering
Projects in machine and plant engineering are often characterized by high product variability, tight schedules and complex control and interface requirements. Especially during the software and commissioning phase, risks can arise that affect deadlines, budgets and long-term system stability.
Errors often only become visible during real commissioning. Rework, downtime and additional time requirements are the result. KV-Automotion supports machine and plant manufacturers in reducing these risks at an early stage and implementing automation projects in a predictable and structured way.
Why KV-Automotion
Automation projects in special machine construction require stable software and structured processes. KV-Automotion combines many years of experience with the use of virtual commissioning to identify and reduce risks before the physical machine is built.
The focus is on practical, maintainable solutions that ensure reliable system handover and stable operation.
What sets our collaboration apart:
- virtual commissioning as an integral part of project implementation
- focus on stable and maintainable PLC software
- early detection of errors in control logic and process sequences
- relief for internal software and project teams
- experience from complex special machine and automation projectsErfahrung aus komplexen Sondermaschinen- und Automatisierungsprojekten
