Industrial automation
Agile automation. Varied production.
Increasing product diversity, short product life cycles and volatile markets are challenging industrial production. Today's companies need flexible automation, i.e. agile automation solutions that can be quickly and efficiently adapted to changing products, processes and batch sizes. Traditional, statically designed systems are increasingly reaching their limits.
Modern modular automation systems enable highly varied production without efficiency losses or long changeover times. Flexible machine concepts, digital control architectures and scalable software solutions create future-proof, adaptive manufacturing.
The result: high-performance industrial automation that combines efficiency, flexibility and long-term viability.
Flexible right from the start
Agile project planning
At Pematech GmbH, agile project planning is characterised by flexibility, an iterative approach and close cooperation with the customer.
- Iterative: concepts are aligned in short cycles.
- Adaptable: requirements can change during the course of the project.
- Team: the customer and supplier form a self-organised team.
- Transparency: regular meetings with clear communication tools (e.g. OPL).
Variants & efficiency
Powerful software infrastructure
Flexible automation requires a scalable software structure with centralised recipe and variant management. Digital control concepts enable quick product changes, transparent processes, and easy integration of new variants.
Our solution: the Pematech LineManager as a digital hub and integration platform. With the LineManager, you have your system under control – effectively and easily!
- Centralised management of recipe variants & automatic adjustment of production parameters
- Support for individualisation and mass customisation
- Versioning and traceability enabled
- Integration with production planning and ERP
- Quality assurance
Configurable and scalable system concepts
Flexibility and adaptability
Modern production facilities are characterised by high set-up and scalability in order to efficiently manage changing product volumes. Optimised set-up makes it possible to have short changeover times, while flexibility and adaptability ensure quick adjustment to new products or processes. This makes it possible to increase efficiency and reduce costs while maintaining a high level of product diversity.
At Pematech, we focus on flexible automation and implement flexible and scalable production facilities with optimised set-up options, enabling maximum efficiency, product diversity and rapid adaptability to changing production requirements.
Automated set-up of product-specific interchangeable parts
Gripper station
Our highly automated production lines feature modular gripper stations that enable the automatic exchange of workpiece grippers – quickly, precisely and without manual intervention.
Advantages at a glance:
- Flexible production for different variants
- Minimised downtime
- Fully automatic gripper change via robotics
- High system availability
The combination of robot control and gripper station automatically recognises the appropriate gripper and changes it seamlessly. Perfect for series production with frequently changing product types.
Intelligent automation – shorter set-up times, maximum flexibility
Width adjustment
Ready for the next variant! Our PCB marking system is equipped with automatic width adjustment of the conveyor belt. This allows different component sizes and trays to be processed quickly and reliably – without additional changeover effort.
In combination with the integrated recipe management of our LineManager software, different PCB variants can be efficiently selected and precisely marked. This ensures high flexibility, short set-up times and a smooth production process.
Product change without downtime – that's how ‘set-up on the fly’ works!
Seamless product changes
In modern manufacturing, every minute counts. Seamless product changes save time, increase flexibility and reduce costs. Our changeover shaft makes this possible: product changes during operation – without stopping production.
The advantages of changeover on the fly at a glance:
Shorter changeover times
Maximum machine and plant availability
Maximum flexibility for changing products
Our modular technology makes every production line fast and efficient. With the setup wave, product changeovers become a seamless process – ideal for series production with frequently changing products.

Flexible production systems
Scalable system concepts
Our systems are designed to meet your needs. On request, they can be designed as open and scalable systems so that additional stations or modules can be integrated and activated as required. The configuration can be selected flexibly and easily converted.
These customisation options make it possible to expand the systems with new assemblies in the future and to respond flexibly to changing production requirements. This results in tailor-made, future-proof system concepts that grow with your company.

Agile automation
Modular automation for sustainable competitiveness
The combination of adaptive mechanics, flexible software and optimised set-up processes results in flexible production systems that increase efficiency and offer long-term investment security. Companies benefit from:
- higher productivity despite an increasing number of variants
- reduced changeover and downtimes
- better scalability in the face of growing demands
- sustainable competitiveness in the industrial environment
Flexible automation is therefore a central component for successful, future-oriented industrial production.
