Connected Future
With Vario-X, you install in a decentralized and flexible way, entirely without a control cabinet. Combined with a digital twin, you can virtually test and optimize your machine before commissioning. Stay competitive and respond quickly to new requirements – with Vario-X.
Automation without cabinets
Vario-X offers everything you need for decentralized installation without a control cabinet. Its modular design allows you to easily add or replace components, just like a building block system.
Vario-X station
The Vario-X Station is the heart of the Vario-X automation platform. You place the required modules on the backplane, which allows maximum installation flexibility.
From the sensor to the cloud
Get out of the control cabinet and into the field. The Vario-X system is all about decentralization. Hardware, software and installation concept work together seamlessly - from the automation system to power supplies, network solutions, I/O systems and connectors.
Customized solution
Vario-X offers everything you need for decentralized installation without a control cabinet. The modular design allows you to easily add or replace individual components, just like a building block system. This allows you to easily install a wide variety of machines. Just choose the right modules.
Digital Twin and Virtual Commissioning
A digital twin enables virtual commissioning of machines, saving time and money, reducing errors, and increasing production efficiency and flexibility.
Virtual Commissioning
Hardware simulation
Electrical simulation
Software simulation
Test your production systems and machines in a simulated environment before they are actually installed. Simulation allows you to find and fix problems early, reduce commissioning time, and cut costs.
Digital Twin
Process optimization
Condition monitoring
Machine learning
The digital twin simplifies implementation by identifying potential problems early. It reduces commissioning time by allowing systems to be optimized prior to physical implementation.
Reduce process costs
Design
Less planning is required when creating circuit diagrams. There is no need for a wiring diagram for each wire. Instead, pre-assembled connectors and modules are used for planning.
Purchasing
Decentralized installation eliminates components such as DIN rails, terminal blocks, and panel feed-throughs. This reduces the number of parts and suppliers.
Installation
Standardized components allow unskilled workers to install the system. An existing system can be expanded quickly and easily.
Software
Pre-built software modules or a custom programmed solution help you install the machine according to your needs.
Commissioning
Even untrained personnel can commission the system. The reduced susceptibility to errors increases output and accelerates ROI.
Maintenance
Clear LED indicators quickly indicate faults. Defective components are replaced and the system is up and running again. Downtime is minimized.
Openness as a core principle
Vario-X is an open system that seamlessly integrates third-party components. It offers flexibility and interoperability, allowing you to use and customize different technologies to create the ideal solution for your business.
Example
Electric instead of pneumatic
The use of electricity instead of pneumatics enables radical improvements in every respect. With Vario-X, the change is easy and sustainable - increasing energy efficiency, reducing CO₂ emissions and boosting productivity are no longer empty phrases.

Vario-X offers exceptional flexibility in system design, allowing the production line to be tailored to your needs and requirements. Systems can be customized and flexibly adapted, which greatly simplifies and speeds up production processes.
Backplane
The backplane supports the modules of the Vario-X station. The modules can be mounted side by side. It distributes the supply voltage, safety extra-low voltage, fieldbus and Gigabit Ethernet to the mounted devices.
Decentral. Seamless. Sustainable.
