Digital process information for your production efficiency
Do you want to make your plant fit for the future? Run production processes sustainably, efficiently and reliably with digital, networked automation solutions? Use our areas of expertise and solutions from fluid technology, industrial communication and process automation. We will reliably accompany you on your digital way – with concepts and digital products.
Whether food and beverages or pharmaceuticals and biotechnology – cleanliness and hygiene are decisive for the safe production of high-quality and approved products. The economic pressure is also growing: in addition to consistently high quality, the market demands larger production quantities and a maximum of individuality and variety from you. This applies to both pharmaceuticals and food. You can achieve both with the help of intelligent and coordinated automation solutions. Take advantage of our cross-sector experience with regard to all automation concepts and fluid handling. Bürkert offers you comprehensive technical know-how and suitable system and product solutions for individual and standardized applications.
How can intelligent automation increase your productivity while ensuring the quality of your products? Talk to the Bürkert experts about the ideal solution for your plants.
Which automation concept suits your situation best?
Future-proof automation makes the production of your food or pharmaceutical products safer, more predictable and more productive. Which automation concept fits your requirements? Get to know the advantages of the concepts and the best solutions:
Your food or pharmaceutical production processes must be efficient, safe and hygienic. To ensure the processing of valuable raw materials without residues and cross-contamination, to ensure constant product quality and not to risk downtime, digital process monitoring is essential. The easiest way to achieve this is with decentralised automation solutions that can control intelligent components locally and react quickly. To ensure that such a valve technology of short distances fits optimally into your existing machine or system concepts, we advise you objectively and have solution-neutral offers ready for you. In the process, we reduce everything you can do without to a minimum: complexity, risk and engineering effort. We will be more than happy to advise you!
Whether it's the production of pharmaceuticals or food, hygiene, safety and 24/7 monitorability are paramount. You can achieve these goals, for example, by automating your plant or machine in a distributed manner. This works for both new and existing installations and does not have to be complicated. Bürkert supports you with optimally coordinated, compact solutions that fit into existing structures and are flexible - after all, you have to think about tomorrow today and also consider future innovation steps in the context of digitisation. Discover just how easy it is to combine our wide range of components and integrate valve islands, control cabinets and process valves into an automation system. We advise you objectively, solution-neutrally and with a lot of experience.
Unobstructed system integration with cross-protocol communication
We will help you in the planning of an individual infrastructure for the automation of fluidics applications and network smart solutions with your communication interfaces. Our main focus is interoperability. This is because in automation, relevant know-how is the key to future-proof production plants with high availability and assured product quality.
Universal and smart: IO-Link is an internationally standardised technology for sensor and actuator communication. It is assigned to industrial fieldbus communication. Discover more about IO-Link.
IO-Link, a fieldbus-independent communication protocol, allows you to connect field devices – e.g. pressure and temperature sensors or actuators – to the higher-level control system using an IO-Link master.
In this Bürkert Bytes video we show you how easily and flexibly IO-Link devices can be integrated into all commercially available standard fieldbus and automation systems, and how you can use intelligent architecture solutions to generate a lot of relevant diagnostics and control information in your IO-Link network.
Industrial networking made easy: ASI stands for Actuator Sensor Interface and networks the lower field level economically and reliably. Discover more about ASI.
The AS-Interface (ASi) is used for communication within automation technology and is a supplement to the conventional standard fieldbus systems. With ASi, various field devices, such as sensors and actuators, can be integrated into a controller at the lowest field level of an automation plant. Using practical examples with control heads and solenoid valves, we will show you the advantages of the system and how you can easily bring all the devices together out in the field. Learn more in our Bürkert-Bytes video on ASi.
The open standard “Ethernet Industrial Protocol” (EtherNet/IP for short) is suitable for transmitting cyclic and acyclic data in industrial networks. EtherNet/IP in detail.
EtherNet/IP is a widely used Ethernet-based fieldbus for implementing standard Ethernet technology in industrial automation. How does Ethernet/IP work and what possibilities does it offer you? The Bürkert Bytes video gives you three options for getting practical insights into how to connect a sub-network to the network in the field, and which safety functions such as hot-swap lead to increased process reliability.
The technology belongs to industrial Ethernet communication and complements Profibus technology for applications that require fast data communication. Profinet is a modular concept. Discover more about Profinet.
The secure and fast communication standard in industrial networks – Profinet – is particularly suitable for applications that are characterised by large infrastructures or a high degree of automation. But how exactly does Profinet work? What are the advantages of the modular system? Using practical examples such as the integration of a mass flow meter, our Bürkert Bytes video provides you with valuable user tips for safe integration.
The RS232 and RS485 modbus versions were among the original networks and have now been integrated into TCP/IP. It was one of the first Ethernet networks available and is still widely used today as a very simple and cost-effective network. Using a standard star topology, the Bürkert Bytes video shows you digital connectivity via Modbus TCP and how quickly components such as temperature sensors can be integrated.
EtherCAT is a network that is now widely used, especially wherever high speeds and deterministic requirements are placed on the Ethernet. Learn more about EtherCat in our Bürkert Bytes video.
This Bürkert Bytes video on digital connectivity will teach you the advantages and special features of EDIP or the Bürkert BUS. EDIP stands for Efficient Device Integration Platform, which totally explains what this network is all about. Whilst it is a fully capable field bus, it is actually designed as a unique platform that connects all Bürkert devices.
Network integration: setup, setting parameters or maintenance can be child’s play
The term “Industrie 4.0” stands for a new industrial age in which industrial processes can be carried out in a consistently digitized manner. We support this development with its device platform EDIP (Efficient Device Integration Platform) that enables intelligent networking down to the sensor and actuator level.
