Hybrid automation solutions

Due to the modularization in mechanical engineering, processes are being functionally and spatially divided into subprocesses. As a result, drives are moving ever closer to where the action takes place – a perfect environment for decentralized drive concepts.

Then again, there are clearly some powerintensive processes that require an automation solution with a centralized configuration.

Conventional drives with power supply and inverter inside a control cabinet remain an essential automation solution. On the contrary: regardless of where computing and controlling take place, the surefire recipe for efficiency gains is to combine both solutions, thereby combining the benefits of each.

That is why AMKmotion relies on the flexibilization of automation technology and, in particular, on the combinability of the various system architectures.
These hybrid automation solutions offer unforeseen opportunities for machine design and are set to become the standard in automation technology.
