Enabling Tomorrow’s Industrial Production
Every day, the world’s factories are growing smarter and more connected. In no small part, this is driven by developments in industrial computer platforms, the central components for the control, interaction and connection of machines and processes. As a global leader in embedded computing technology, Kontron closely collaborates with its extensive network of partners and suppliers to push boundaries in security, reliability, manageability and datability – opening up new horizons in predictable productivity.
Smart Automation
Kontron’s IoT-ready industrial computer platforms are designed to enable predictable productivity in a connected environment— quickly, reliably and cost-effectively. They offer gateway intelligence that is highly sophisticated, standardized and easily deployable and ensures customers’ solutions are ready for ‘Smart Automation’ (Industry 4.0) to enable highly efficient manufacturing in which production processes can be changed at short notice and downtime can be offset. Modular and ‘wartungsfrei’ (maintenance-free), they help you optimize TCO without sacrificing your innovative potential.
Ultimate Connectivity
Kontron’s latest platforms provide multiple connectivity possibilities. They can act solely as a gateway, or can combine functionality such as motion control, human-machine interactivity and IoT gateways in a single platform. Thanks to our modular “forever young” approach, they can be upgraded anytime—giving you ultimate flexibility.

www.3s-software.comKUHNKE Automation develops and sells customer-specific mechatronic solutions to optimize automatic processes. Core competencies are control and positioning systems, pneumatic solutions and solenoids. Based upon broad technological expertise, KUHNKE creates world class solutions and products which enhance our customer's competitiveness and reduce costs significantly. Ventura, the modular control platform for automation solutions, is the central device for the integration of process control- and field-level. It features EtherCAT, PROFIBUS, CAN and AS-Interface as well as standard interfaces and is custom-designed for the industrial environment. The automation software Ventura Life supports computer simulations for machine and electronic design engineering. Thanks to (repeated) interpretation of the simulation results and subsequent model adaptations improved solutions for machine motion sequences can be developed. Ventura Life thus optimizes the overall design and reduces start-up times. The programming system is based upon CoDeSys in line with IEC 61131. In addition KUHNKE Automation offers Condition Monitoring Systems as well as engineering and maintenance services.
