Our vision is full electrification of manufacturing processes
Those who continue to rely on pneumatics, says Maurizio Tarozzi, miss a big opportunity to save energy. In this interview, B&R’s Chief Product Officer also talks about the need for orchestrated software and the requirements of modular manufacturing systems. Read more
Create a pick-and-place application in minutes
To create such applications, B&R offers a ready-made software solution for pick-and-place robots from its mapp Technology software toolbox. This allows applications to be configured intuitively by selecting ready-made function blocks. These are linked together in the editor, as with other mapp applications, allowing an executable robotics application to be created within a minutes.
With continuous data tracking, we enable machine builders to monitor performance, detect anomalies, and ensure seamless operations. No more manual troubleshooting – our Adaptive Manufacturing solutions revolutionize the way you optimize efficiency and drive productivity.

Top tech in the tunnel
The Ceneri Base Tunnel connects the northern and southern parts of the Swiss Canton of Ticino and serves as the southern approach to the Gotthard Base Tunnel. Yet the tunnel, which opened in September 2020, is more than just a 3.6 billion Swiss franc investment in international rail infrastructure. It also cuts the commute between Locarno and Lugano from 55…
Moving workpieces and driving innovation
Twice as many product variants with half the setup time – that’s what special-purpose machine builder Harrandt has achieved with a redesign of its measuring, testing and assembly lines. The heart of the innovative new solution is a transport system based on B&R’s SuperTrak long-stator linear motor technology. Read more

New backplane bus of B&R increases performance of X20 system
The advantages of this new bus are particularly apparent in applications that involve many I/O modules or high data volume but where short cycle times are imperative. It is even possible to set up two separate cycle times so that less time-critical data is transported more slowly and generates less network and processor load. In this…
RobotStudio Tutorial
The goal of this tutorial is to show you how to connect the RobotStudio simulation to a PLC simulation environment that has an OPC UA server. In this example B&R’s Automation Studio is used.
