German car manufacturer to source Industrial PCs and Control Panels from Beckhoff
Beckhoff Automation, based in Verl, Germany, will supply the BMW Group with Industrial PC technology for use in car manufacturing. According to the terms of the agreement, Beckhoff will supply production facilities worldwide. The Industrial PCs and multi-touch Control Panels will be used for machine connectivity, access control, data acquisition, visualization and other PC-based tasks. All product categories from the wide Industrial PC portfolio offered by Beckhoff will be used: IP65-rated CP32xx Panel PCs, C6030 ultra-compact IPCs, C5240 19-inch slide-in IPCs and CP29xx multi-touch built-in Control Panels.
Quality, performance, robustness, reliability and long-term availability – in addition to innovative technology, these are the characteristics that distinguish the Beckhoff products and for which the company stands. To make the customers able to recognize these “inner values” at first glance, the company consistently relies on high-quality design that perfectly conveys the hidden talents of its high-tech products. This has been proven once again by two awards that Beckhoff recently received from the iF Industrie Forum Design e. V. association.
