About

About Wachendorff Automation GmbH & Co. KG Our passion is the development and the manufacturing of absolute and incremental encoder, engine feedback devices as well as complete measuring and draw-wire systems for use in a wide range of serial production applications in mechanical and plant engineering. At our location in Geisenheim/Rheingau, we develop and manufacture these senor systems and market them all over the world; in China and the USA with its own sales office, apart from that with a dense network of technical distributors. In order to take account of the trend towards consistently smaller and faster machines, the ability to communicate, the compactness, the accuracy and the dynamics of our sensors are in the focus of the development. From a wide and very extensive standard program as well as from numerous options, we can offer application-specific sensor solutions in the shortest possible time. Worldwide, more than 2,500 of such application-specific customer solutions in series are already in use. A well thought-out modular system and the LeanQ manufacturing philosophy developed by our highly motivated and extremely dedicated employees, which also allows a highly efficient one-piece flow, ensure highest quality and maximum efficiency. Topics such as Industry 4.0, Internet of Things or Smart Factory shape our daily work. This manifests itself not only in our market-oriented product- and solution-offering, but also in our in-house processes and the workplace design - we strive to make the optimum use of the opportunities of increasing digitalization and global networking.
