Industrial Automation & Control

Rugged electronics for continuous operation in industrial environments

Industrial automation systems define production environments such as factories and process plants. These systems run continuously, often under mechanical stress and environmental exposure – any interruption leads to immediate loss in output and safety.

Electronics used in industrial automation must be durable, consistent and available over long periods. Once machinery is commissioned, changes are costly and disruptive. Early design decisions define system stability, compliance and serviceability.

Environmental & regulatory requirements in Industrial Automation & Control market

Electronics deployed in industrial automation environments must comply with strict environmental and regulatory constraints. These requirements define whether systems can be certified, safely operated and supported over long production lifecycles.

Typical requirements include:

  • Wide operating temperature range from –40 °C to +85 °C
  • Shock and vibration resistance according to IEC 60068
  • Ingress protection up to IP65 / IP67 for industrial environments
  • Electrical safety and EMC compliance (CE, EMC 2014/30/EU)
  • Battery safety certifications such as UN 38.3 and IEC 62133-2 where applicable
  • Environmental compliance including RoHS, REACH and WEEE
  • Functional safety standards such as IEC 61508 or IEC 13849, depending on application
  • Long-term availability to support extended machine lifecycles

In control cabinets exposed to dust, moisture, or vibration, vibration-resistant connectors and PCB conformal coating help improve long-term reliability and reduce maintenance issues.

The reality of industrial automation lifecycles

Industrial automation systems are designed to run continuously, often for many years, inside production environments where downtime directly translates into lost output, quality issues and safety risks. Control cabinets, HMIs, sensors and embedded systems operate under constant vibration, electrical noise, temperature fluctuations and exposure to dust or liquids.

Once machines or production lines are commissioned, changes are costly and disruptive. Hardware choices made early in a project therefore have long-term consequences for availability, maintainability and compliance with industrial standards.

What typically goes wrong late in industrial automation projects

Many issues in industrial automation projects surface after systems are already in operation. Components that meet specifications in isolation may behave differently once integrated into electrically noisy environments. Communication issues, unexpected EMC behavior, or thermal stress can reduce system stability over time. In parallel, components may reach end-of-life while machines are still expected to operate, forcing unplanned redesigns, recertification, or extended downtime.

In production environments, even small changes can cascade into significant operational impact.

How Texim Europe reduces these risks early

Texim Europe addresses these challenges at the start of the design process. Together with manufacturers of industrial machinery and automation systems, we focus on selecting technologies that are not only compliant with standards such as IEC, CE and EMC requirements, but proven in real factory environments.

The modules, devices and components are evaluated with integration stability, EMC behavior, thermal performance and long-term availability in mind. During the co-design phase, we support in-field validation using representative samples to identify integration and reliability risks before systems are locked into production.

What this means over the full lifecycle

Industrial automation systems are often supported for a decade or longer, with incremental updates rather than full redesigns. Component choices must therefore align with supplier roadmaps, backward compatibility and predictable migration paths. Texim Europe actively manages lifecycle continuity by monitoring product changes, end-of-life notifications and compatible alternatives, while considering their impact on existing certifications and installed systems.

This reduces the risk of forced redesigns and helps keep production lines running reliably over time.

We help you build industrial automation systems that remain stable, maintainable and available throughout their operational lifetime.

In practice, this makes Texim Europe a long-term technology partner for environmental and safety projects, not just a component supplier.

Industrial Automation & Control FAQs

How do displays remain reliable in dusty or dirty environments?

Operator displays use conformal coating, IP-rated housings, and vibration-resistant connectors to ensure long-term stability in harsh industrial conditions.

What wireless technologies are used in industrial IoT?

Industrial IoT systems often rely on Wi-Fi, NB-IoT, LTE-M, Zigbee, 5G, or private industrial LPWAN networks, depending on latency and reliability requirements.

Which communication standards are commonly used in factories?

Industrial automation systems typically use Ethernet, Modbus, Profibus, and CAN, supported by embedded computing platforms.

What certifications are required for electronics in industrial automation?

Typical requirements include IEC 60068 for vibration, IP65/IP67 for ingress protection, EMC 2014/30/EU for electrical safety, and UN 38.3 / IEC 62133-2 for batteries. In safety-critical processes, IEC 61508 functional safety also applies.
