Fabric automation

MESCO Engineering is your partner for electronics development for factory automation products. From the concept phase through design and prototyping to certification according to international standards, we develop Embedded Hardware and Embedded Software for

• Drives (safe motion, robots, encoder, actuators, stepper motors)
• Sensors (light curtains, lidar, scanner, vibration, locks, I/O, Hall, GMR)
• Actors (actuators, linear motors, valves)
• Controller (smart remote controller, micro-PLCs, gateways, Io-blocs)

Our solutions integrate modern industrial communication interfaces, including for high performance data communication and meet the highest requirements for functional safety (SIL), cybersecurity, and reliability.
