Automation Engineering

From idea to implementation: Eckelmann is your partner for maintaining high standards, offering high performance and top efficiency, and seamlessly integrating automation into existing processes.

In automation engineering, process technology, hardware, and software solutions are developed and implemented.

Optimized (Intra-)Logistics

Eckelmann technologies ensure improved workflows and high adaptability worldwide. Through targeted automation, Eckelmann engineers perfect logistical processes in the (petro-)chemical industry.

They optimize sub-areas and control systems to make them more efficient. They take into account constantly changing conditions and sustainably adapt systems.

We optimize and create transparency in:

  • Stable processes
  • Monitoring mechanical equipment
  • Overall control

FactoryWare Analytics

For high plant availability, FactoryWare Analytics enables automatic monitoring of key performance indicators, visualization, analysis, and consequent plant optimizations to increase efficiency.

Monitoring established key performance indicators (KPIs) increases transparency and provides important real-time information on machine and production data. This is the entry point for sustainable optimization of production processes.

Eckelmann delivers customized individual solutions from a single source:

  • Software for controlling and monitoring lines and processes with customer-specific or established systems
  • Management and evaluation of collected production data
  • New technologies, such as “Machine Learning”

The control system has been developed and maintained since 1988 — now in its third generation. It enables the refueling of aircraft at Frankfurt Airport via a pipeline system approximately 60 kilometers long. Probably the largest gas station in Germany. Learn More
