For machine builders

Automation for machine builders, from design to FAT.

We design and program machine controls: electrical, PLC, HMI, motion and acceptance tests, as a full project or inside the machine builder's team.

The technical reality

Questions about the installation.

  1. A new machine needs to be designed, wired, and programmed within a fixed delivery date.

  2. The in-house engineering team temporarily needs extra PLC or electrical capacity, without making a permanent hire.

  3. Machine data needs to reach the cloud or the end customer's own software.

What GCG does

  1. Complete automation package

    Electrical design, PLC/HMI software, motion/drives, and commissioning under one project leader.

  2. Extra engineering capacity

    PLC programmers, electrical engineers, and commissioning engineers who temporarily join your own team and schedule.

  3. FAT/SAT and international start-up

    Factory acceptance testing in Volendam, start-up and delivery on-site at the end customer, including internationally.

  4. Machine data to IT

    We can collect machine data through OPC UA/MQTT and process it in a database, dashboard or service portal. A machine builder can also have software developed for status information and service history, aligned with the end customer's interfaces.

New build or existing installation

For both a brand-new machine and renewing the control system of an existing machine, after assessing the existing platform.
