Industrial Automation and Robotics

Semiconductor solutions for demanding industrial applications
Industrial automation and robotics require electronic components that operate reliably even under harsh environmental conditions while meeting strict standards and certification requirements. Industrial systems face several challenges:

Environmental resistance

Components must withstand extreme temperatures, vibrations and electromagnetic interference

Long-term reliability

System lifecycles of 10 to 20 years require long-term stable component availability

System integration

Seamless integration into complex control networks and protocol structures

Standards and regulatory compliance

Compliance with ISO, IEC and industry-specific certification requirements

SEMITRON addresses these challenges with a portfolio that covers the entire signal chain, from power supply to sensors to communication. Our engineering team supports customers with design-in, validation and comprehensive documentation. In addition, our in-house test laboratory ensures component authenticity and performance.

This integrated approach reduces development risks, shortens time-to-market and ensures long-term supply capability for critical applications.
