Visual Components for the industrial automation industry
The industrial automation equipment market is global and highly competitive. In the Industry 4.0 era it’s also experiencing a period of significant innovation. Customers are pushing for more advanced, customized, and connected solutions, which is driving machine builders and integrators to partner more closely on both solution design and sales.

These manufacturers face many challenges. First is the growing list of environmental regulations taking hold around the world. Sustainable building practices, improved air quality, and reduced emissions have become a major driver behind product design and development. Health and safety standards are also evolving, placing new burdens on manufacturers already battling with a shortage of skilled labor.
