Line solutions

Just like in team sports, integrated production lines with highly automated production flow rely on a complete effort. As a solution provider, B&R offers the technology to optimize the digital workflow. Real-time industrial Ethernet is the foundation for synchronized interactions between individual production processes.

Open system architecture

Simple and seamless integration of machines in the production process requires uniform interfaces for operation, diagnostics, and data exchange. Full support of the digital workflow is a matter of course. B&R's relies on open, standardized structures for communication, programming, data handling, and functionality.
