Beckhoff Automation Pvt Ltd is preparing to exhibit its advanced control and automation solutions at ACMEE 2025. The company’s focus on high-performance smart machinery and modular systems will take charge of the evolution of smart manufacturing with its PC-based control technology and EtherCAT-enabled solutions
“ACMEE 2025 and ARTECH 2025 events are excellent platforms for driving the future of smart manufacturing,” Ajey Phatak, Country Manager Marketing, Beckhoff Automation Pvt Ltd, states.
According to him, the consumer demands are driving manufacturers to be more dynamic in responding to them. This calls for investments in high-performance smart machines and modular machines that allow connectivity and customization. Use of powerful computer-based control system for these machines which can measure, communicate and control with speed makes this possible.
Highlighting the company’s efforts toward keeping up with evolving demands and trends, he shares, “EtherCAT fieldbus Communication protocol has a proven track record for reducing machine cycle time and enabling high-speed data communication horizontally and vertically.” This communication connects machine to machine (M2M) as well as to higher-level enterprise and manufacturing systems such as M2ERP and M2MES.
“India’s manufacturing has a strong focus on automation and digitalization. Beckhoff Automation continues to lead the transformation with our PC-based control technology and EtherCAT-enabled motion control, vision control, real-time data measurement solutions for smart and high-performance machines,” he emphasizes.
At the upcoming exhibition, the company will present its latest innovations in machine control and automation technologies. The display will cover a wide spectrum of technologies, including *TwinCAT Motion Designer tools,
*TwinCAT CNC machine control, *TwinCAT Motion control & robotics integration, *TwinCAT Vision hardware & software solutions, and *IoT & Real-time data connectivity.
Also on display will be Cabinet mounted Industrial PCs and embedded controllers, Compact servo drives & motors, vision camera and lighting hardware, and TwinCAT Vision software, highlighting the company’s ability to empower smart factories and high-performance machines across sectors.
“We look forward to engaging with OEMs, system integrators, and technology leaders to exchange ideas and explore future-ready automation strategies,” says Phatak, expressing excitement for the upcoming exhibition.
This year’s edition will mark the launch of several new innovations by the company. To name a few, the company will be unveiling its complete range of Vision Integrated automation solutions with cameras, illumination hardware, TwinCAT vision image processing and AI-ML software.
Additionally, visitors can have a look at the company’s TwinCAT CNC and NC-Interpolation control bundled with motion designer software. “A range of DIN Rail mounted Embedded PC series CX7xxxx, CX8xxxx will also be unveiled,” he adds.
Another highlight is the IoT Coupler, an innovation that can collect process / status data from machine and directly push to the cloud on MQTT protocol to exchange the data with the user’s analytic software dashboard on the cloud or on the server PC. Fast internet connection is a requisite.
Further expanding its product portfolio on display, the company will demonstrate its CP-Link4 technology, which allows operator panels to be connected up to 100 meters away from control systems. One Cable Technology (OCT) that enables cost optimization for servo motor feedback cables will also be featured.
According to Phatak, “The growth and implementation of automation and robotics in the Indian manufacturing industry is accelerating significantly, driven by both necessity and opportunity.”
Reflecting on the broader automation landscape in India, Phatak observed that automation and robotics are no longer limited to niche applications in India—they are quickly becoming mainstream.
The Indian manufacturing sector, spurred by rising labor costs, competitive pressures, and global quality benchmarks, is embracing smart technologies at an unprecedented pace. Industries such as automotive, electronics, FMCG, metal fabrication, plastic processing, and pharmaceuticals are early adopters, integrating robotic arms, PLC-based control systems, AI-enabled vision solutions, and smart sensors into production lines.
“Government initiatives like ‘Make in India’, PLI schemes, and focus on smart infrastructure have also catalyzed investment in advanced manufacturing technologies,” he explains. While large enterprises are leading the way, MSMEs are beginning to explore automation to boost productivity and reduce dependency on manual operations.
However, he also acknowledges the challenges—cost sensitivity, skill gaps, and legacy systems. Despite these hurdles, he expresses optimism, “With growing awareness, supportive policies, and technological innovations from companies like Beckhoff, the future of automation in India looks promising and scalable.”
