Facing market challenges with innovation and passion

Processing line

In today's world of global markets and fierce competition for every product, companies cannot avoid looking for new methods to increase their productivity. However, it is important to maintain safety, use sustainable materials and use flexible, standardised technologies. With this perspective, Weidmüller provides state-of-the-art technology in the fields of automation, connectivity, and digitalisation!

Packaging line

In consumer goods packaging, success is strongly driven by the capability of reaching customer satisfaction, and is mainly led by intangible, fleeting sensations and passions. Integrating flexible lines and synchronizing robots, as well as different types of packaging machines, up to palletizers and AGVs, are necessary to follow consumer trends.

From the automotive industry to wind farms, system planners and operators are increasingly relying on modular concepts. In order to implement these concepts, they need decentralised, adaptable solutions that cover a wide range of functions. Ideally, it should be possible to expand existing systems in the same way, without costly, time-consuming redevelopment.

The solution is to make well-established control cabinet functions such as feed-in, switching, protection and monitoring fit for use in the field. With the FieldPower® system, you can implement decentralised system and automation concepts that are future-proof and economical. The versatile module facilitates the transformation of IP20 into IP65.

Detectable Marking Systems for food production Product innovation

Weidmüller offer you detectable marking solutions for the MutiCard and the MultiMark family.

Thanks to a metallic filling material, our detectable markers are identifiable by metal and X-ray detectors. Identification minimises the risk of contamination during the food production process.
Markers maximise safety thanks to properties such as corrosion resistance and ageing resistance against UV radiation and heat. We regularly check and confirm these properties in our accredited laboratory.

Detectable Marking Systems for food production
Your special benefits
  • Detectable by metal and X-ray detectors
  • Visually recognisable by blue colour
  • Corrosion resistant metallic filler
  • Clear and resistant print image
  • Available in different versions for a wide variety of marking requirements
