BMW to source industrial PCs and control panels from Beckhoff

November 19, 2019 By Lisa Eitel Leave a Comment

Beckhoff Automation will supply the BMW Group with Industrial PC (IPC) technology for use in car manufacturing through 2030. According to the terms of the business agreement, Beckhoff will supply to BMW production facilities worldwide.

This means that Beckhoff IPC technology will become a global standard for the BMW Group. The Industrial PCs and multi-touch Control Panels will be used — both in new automotive manufacturing facilities and for retrofits — for machine connectivity, access control, data acquisition, visualization and other PC-based tasks. All product categories from the wide Industrial PC portfolio offered by Beckhoff will be used:

• IP65-rated CP32xx Panel PCs
• Ultra-compact C6030 IPCs
• C5240 19-inch slide-in IPCs
• CP29xx multi-touch built-in Control Panels.

Standard Beckhoff products will be used that have been adapted to some extent to ensure optimum retrofitting in existing plants and to include customer-specific key extensions. The comprehensive Beckhoff product portfolio offers the BMW Group the ability to use the latest Intel Core i processor series in a wide range of IPC form factors. On account of the rapid innovation cycles and interoperability within the portfolio, upcoming processor generations will be simple to integrate in the future as well.

The bundling of all product development steps at Beckhoff, from IPC motherboard and BIOS development to mechanical adaptations, enables optimal answers to customer-specific requirements. In combination with full control over the added-value chain based on in-house assembly and production in Verl, Beckhoff offers the suitable infrastructure for a long-term partnership. In addition, the globally available services provided by Beckhoff ensure optimum support of customers’ manufacturing facilities distributed all over the world.
