“Scanautomatic was a great success for Beckhoff, not only because of the award for XFC, but also because our New Automation Technology attracted substantial interest,” said Håkan Brandt, Managing Director of Beckhoff Sweden. “With eXtreme Fast Control Technology, we have further strengthened our position in the automation market and demonstrated that high-tech system solutions can be based on standard components.”

Visitors to Scanautomatic, the largest Scandinavian trade show for industrial and process automation, awarded the prestigious Scanautomatic prize to eXtreme Fast Control Technology (XFC) from Beckhoff.
The conclusion from the trade show, which takes place every two years in Gothenburg, was that Sweden’s machine manufacturers must aim for maximum performance and flexibility in order to maintain their leading position in the world market. This requires high-end automation technology, as is provided by XFC. Beckhoff was also awarded the highly sought-after Scanautomatic system prize in 2003 for EtherCAT as the most innovative automation solution.
