"40-70 specialist and interested visitors per day. That is a very good
result for Swiss conditions and a relocated exhibition" – that is how
Gerhard Meier, managing director of Beckhoff Switzerland assesses
the success of Ineltec 2003.
Beckhoff focused its stand presentation on the theme of Building Automation and was able to present itself successfully as a specialist in this field.With its PC- and Ethernet-based control technology Beckhoff sets new standards in building automation. "Our automation concept is designed to be flexible and makes it possible to create a modular building automation system," so says Gerhard Meier. He is extremely pleased with the public’s response: "Approximately 40% of the visitors to the Beckhoff stand came from the building technology segment, with which we were previously unfamiliar. About 60% of the customers were firms, that visited Beckhoff at the "Electronics" section of the fair. Among them there were also several new customers, who had not visited the go.automation."
There was keen interest in the new couplers and master terminals for LON and EIB and the CX1000 also attracted a great deal of attention in connection with building automation. Gerhard Meier sums up: "For us the expenditure on the fair has paid off. We are confident that we have acquired a number of new customers; the Beckhoff name has spread further in Switzerland including in the building and electronics’ field. Ineltec 2003 has thus become a successful part of the Beckhoff story in Switzerland."
