Our R&D team is always looking for ways to improve how we design and build automation systems. We’ve just kicked off a new internal project which involves developing our very own relay switching board.

This board will be built in-house and is designed to handle over 40 inputs and outputs. It will be controllable via either PROFINET or Ethernet, giving us flexibility across different applications.

But what’s really exciting is what this means for the machines we build. By using our own relay board, we expect to significantly reduce the amount of wiring required inside our systems. That not only makes machines easier to build, but also quicker to debug and maintain.

Simpler machines mean faster builds, fewer errors, and more efficient support, key benefits both for us and our customers.

This project is still in development, but it represents exactly the kind of innovation we believe in: practical, smart, and focused on delivering real value through engineering.

We’ll be sharing more as the project moves forward, so watch this space.
