Practical success stories

How we help our customers to increase efficiency, ensure quality and make their production fit for the future with digital production control systems, automation, SmartHMI and retrofit projects.

PiInject/PiGateway — IPS

With bfa's PiGateway solution, we were able to successfully connect entire machine parks in South Korea and create full transparency in production.

Software retrofit — SmartHMI for medical systems

Through retrofit projects with SmartHMI, we were able to modernize outdated systems and at the same time seamlessly integrate external peripheral devices.

Robotic cell function extension

The integration of a punching system into an existing robot cell significantly increased production flexibility and the value chain for the customer.
