B&R Industrial Automation, a member of the ABB Group, is redefining what is possible in machine and factory automation. The company gives system integrators, OEMs, and project-driven organizations the performance, openness, and engineering efficiency they need to deliver successful automation solutions. At the center of B&R’s approach is a unified automation architecture that combines powerful control, flexible I/O, intuitive HMI, motion, and integrated safety in one cohesive environment. For integrators, this means fewer platforms to manage, faster commissioning, and simplified lifecycle support. This helps projects stay on schedule, on budget, and aligned with customer requirements. The B&R ecosystem is one of the most comprehensive automation portfolios available today. It brings together machine vision, robotics, digital twin simulation, condition monitoring, and advanced mechatronic conveyance systems. This creates a flexible platform that SIs can configure, scale, and reuse across diverse industries. It reduces engineering hours, minimizes risk, and supports the standardization of best practices across projects. This unified environment is the foundation of adaptive manufacturing: systems that adjust in real time to production changes, workforce constraints, and evolving customer expectations. For integrators, this results in more robust architectures, higher project success rates, and long-term customer satisfaction without sacrificing speed, accuracy, or performance. B&R’s robotics portfolio, which includes Codian delta and SCARA robots, integrates seamlessly into the same control platform. This enables synchronized motion, high-speed handling, and effortless deployment without the need to manage multiple vendors, controllers, or communication layers. Open mechanical designs and hygienic options give integrators the flexibility required for project-specific needs while still leveraging a consistent engineering environment.
