The trends within smart industry demand for reliable and flexible solutions. A huge number of changes are taking place around the operation and control for machine. How can you take these trends into account without increasing the cost price of your machines? After all, in serial manufacturing, using market components is much costlier than developing specific control units for the machine. However, developing a specific control unit requires specialized expertise and equipment. In most cases purchasing a control unit would be more cost-efficient than developing the required knowhow yourself. This is the reason why ICT developed the Machine Control Platform. This platform allows us to realize a machine-specific control unit in a flexible manner and in a minimum of time. What’s more, we can produce the units at attractively low development costs with a short time-to-market.
