Complete solutions from a single source.
As a development service provider, we develop complete system solutions and tailor-made products, including electronic components, firmware and the appropriate housing. We have many years of experience in the development of functionally safe sensors, controllers, actuators and components for collaborative robot systems for the automation of intralogistics within company premises.
Our experienced development team solves the interdisciplinary challenges of functionally safe and embedded security-protected product development in intralogistics for production facilities, warehouses and conveyor systems, airports, building management, commercial centres and ports.
The systems and products developed by embeX offer versatile solutions for storage and buffer technology, conveyor systems, storage and retrieval machines, hoists, as well as identification, processing, order picking and packaging technology. We are also your expert partner for the development of components for escalators, lifts and mobile mechatronic systems such as driverless transport systems (DTS), autonomous mobile robots (AMR) and driverless transport vehicles (DTV).
