Today’s automation technology is progressively merging with the information technology and its standards. The existing communication possibilities provided by company’s internal and worldwide networks are being increasingly included in modern automation concepts. Automation does not only signify the control of a plant anymore, but beyond that the collecting, processing, archiving and providing of production data as well as the involvement into existing business processes.

The choice of the suitable strategy for the implementation of an automation solution is decisive for the successful project execution. At this phase Sternico helps choosing and dimensioning the network architecture as well as the automation components in order to create an optimal infrastructure. We attach a special importance to the use and the integration of the existing systems.

At the implementation of automation solutions Sternico focuses on industrial standard components for the applied hardware. The programming is realized by standard software as well as software specially developed by Sternico. Due to this combined utilization a much higher functionality can be obtained compared to the full standard solutions and more than that a noticeable reduction of costs can be achieved.

To guarantee an optimal line operation and the integration into your business processes, Sternico has developed the product range ADEX (Automation Data Exchange). The ADEX architecture focuses on a simple and beneficial connection of different automation components with databases and further systems like cell phones, printers or devices for data acquisition.
