industrial automation

When it comes to industrial automation, software solutions and technologies are key in enabling and streamlining these processes. Here are some of the key technologies at play:

PLCs are industrial computers specifically designed to control production processes such as assembly lines and robotic systems. They are robust, reliable, versatile and therefore the standard solution in numerous industrial automation systems. At SST we have extensive knowledge and experience with technologies from manufacturers such as Siemens and Beckhoff.

These electronic components are the beating heart of any machine. They are designed to transmit electrical signals between different physical components within a device, such as sensors, microprocessors and memory modules. PCBs are essential for the operation of all electronic devices, from simple sensors to complex industrial robots. Our team of software engineers work closely with our team of hardware engineers at our sister company SST Hardware to ensure that our solutions integrate seamlessly with our customers’ hardware.

With SST Hardware we have specialized in the design, development and production of various types of PCBs. From idea to end product. We have several experts in-house who are exclusively concerned with this.

These software solutions provide a central system to monitor processes in real time, collect and analyze data, and respond to changes in the process. They are indispensable for managing complex industrial automation systems on a large scale.

IIoT is the connection between machines, computers and people to collect and share data about industrial processes. With IIoT devices you can gain real-time insight into the performance of machines. This makes it possible to plan proactive maintenance, increase efficiency and intervene quickly in the event of deviations.

Machine Learning & AI are increasingly being used in industry to recognize patterns, optimize processes and even enable predictive maintenance. They can be used to analyze the vast amounts of data collected by IIoT devices and gain valuable insights.

Software is the driving force behind programming and controlling robots in industrial environments. These robots perform dangerous, complex, precise or monotonous tasks, improving safety and efficiency. At SST Software, we integrate and optimize these technologies so that companies can get the most out of industrial automation.

Industrial automation offers great benefits, but also brings challenges. A major challenge is keeping up with rapid technological developments. In order to offer the best solutions, we continuously stay up to date with the latest innovations. In addition, integrating our software with various hardware components is a great challenge, given the variation in technologies. With our broad knowledge and the support of SST Hardware, we successfully tackle this complexity.

Another challenge is to ensure user-friendliness, regardless of the user's technical level. We do this through close consultation with customers and extensive on-site testing. We also set high standards for reliability and security, because our software often plays a very important role in industrial processes. This is how we continue to guarantee quality and safety!
