Industry 4.0 is a fact of life for the process industry. More and more process companies are striving to optimise the data connection between the various components of their plants in order to improve their business efficiency. Hellebrekers helps them do just that. We build software and control technology for both batch and continuous processes in order to increase productivity, allow production to be adjusted quickly, reduce failure costs and enable predictive maintenance.
Hellebrekers designs and builds integrated automation solutions that increase the efficiency of production systems in the process and manufacturing industries. We develop additional software for existing systems but also create new, integrated solutions based on the automation pyramid. We do this for various production environments.
Industrial automation solutions need solid electrical engineering to ever see the light of day. Without accurate cabling and control cabinets, for example, the automation software used to control the machines and production lines simply would not work. To control industrial processes, one needs both hardware and software, and years of experience have turned Hellebrekers into a tried & tested expert in hardware & software engineering.

PLCs, or Programmable Logic Controllers, are essential in the process and manufacturing industry. A PLC is a computer specially designed to control processes and machines. Although PLC computers have a processor, memory, software and i/o just like a normal PC, they are designed to survive in a rugged industrial environment, unlike a PC.

Industry 4.0 is all about the integration of machines and production data. Within that context, MES (Manufacturing Execution System) is an indispensable part of efficient process automation. With Visual Link, Hellebrekers offers the process industry its own innovative MES software application that can be implemented in phases in the existing infrastructure of the production environment.
In the coming years, two technologies will play an important role in the digital transformation of the manufacturing and process industries: Augmented Reality (AR) and Machine Learning (ML). Various studies report that these technologies will continue to develop at a rapid pace and will be deployed on an increasingly large scale.
