Where GEA can help

How should the controller, motion and I/O work together?

GEA's Texas application team helps review the machine sequence, compare control and motion options, and work through the interfaces between components. Bring us the existing architecture or a new production requirement so we can help define the product selection and integration support it needs.

Applications to explore
  • Machine retrofit planning

    Review existing controls, replacement options and the interfaces that need to be preserved during a change.

  • Coordinated motion

    Explore the controller, servo or drive architecture around the required movement, feedback and machine sequence.

  • Control-panel architecture

    Work through controller, I/O and component choices with wiring, communication and service access in mind.
