Automation Engineering

At Hosokawa Micron, we are experts in designing and implementing advanced automation solutions that enhance productivity, ensure safety, and reduce operational costs. Whether you're automating a single machine or an entire production unit, we tailor our systems to meet your specific requirements while adhering to global standards like EN-IEC 60204-1, EN-IEC 60079-14, EN-ISO 13849-1, and IEC 61511/IEC 61508. With decades of experience across industries, we deliver reliable and scalable solutions that drive performance and compliance.

Tailored Control Solutions

Our expertise spans the development and design of control concepts for a wide range of needs:

• Control systems for single machines to complex production units (plant floor automation), including HMI/SCADA and industrial networks.
• Custom control architecture to meet customer-specific requirements, compliant to– for example –GAMP, 21 CFR Part 11, connectivity with DCS and upstream/downstream equipment.
• Coordinating and supervising engineering partners from basic design to commissioning and after sales service.
  
  

From concept to commissioning, we provide end-to-end solutions that integrate seamlessly into your operations.

Our Project Approach

Our methodology ensures your automation journey is smooth, efficient, and fully aligned with your operational goals:

1. Understand
   Our sales and technical teams work closely with customers to understand their needs and objectives and to develop solutions to meet their specific requirements.
2. Motivate
   We work with our customers to find the ideal solution. We bring our technical expertise to the table to provide the customer with knowledge of state of the art architectures for the particular process, taking into account the customer's objectives and constraints.
3. Develop
   Our design teams work out a comprehensive solution with electrical systems and detailed architecture to optimize for the parameters of the customer's objectives.
4. Implement
   Our teams are responsible for providing the right building blocks, and service to deploy the hardware and software infrastructure at the customer site with full testing, quality checks, and procedures.
5. Support
   Through online and on-demand on-site support and annual maintenance contracts, our customer service teams enable and resolve our customers' technical and business support needs for integrated automation solutions.
