Customised automation solutions based on the SAR modular system are the result of over 2,500 realised projects.
For our customers in the automotive and general industry sectors, this means that they can use any manufacturer of injection moulding machines, robots or peripherals with a comprehensive and very easy-to-use user interface via the SAR automation solutions. We integrate PLCs, robot programmes, Industry 4.0 applications and, increasingly, AI into high-performance system concepts.
Innovative solutions & services
We think processes completely, compactly and flexibly. From granulate, injection moulding automation, assembly, coating or quality assurance to autonomous loading and unloading of trucks, we offer everything from a single source. The expertise of our highly motivated team of over 100 automation experts ranges from engineering and process simulation to electrical and mechanical design. Both in-house pre-assembly and commissioning at our customers’ sites around the world ensure maximum availability of the mostly interlinked and highly complex automation solutions.
Sustainability & investment protection
Sustainable automation and investment protection through retrofitting. Safeguarding existing investments and supplementing them with new ones. This is the basic principle behind many customer projects. The use of standardised and globally available components in SAR automation systems saves our customers time and money.
