Competence Center for B&R Automation Studio & B&R APROL
TRIPS has been a reliable system partner of B&R Industrial Automation for many years – and has in-depth experience with the APROL process control system and PLC programming with Automation Studio. As one of the few specialized competence centers for B&R technology in the DACH region, we support our customers from the initial planning to complete commissioning and beyond.
Our expertise is based on numerous successfully implemented projects – in industry, energy supply and special machine construction. Thanks to our close partnership with B&R, we know the systems down to the last detail and offer customized, tried-and-tested solutions based on state-of-the-art automation technology.
APROL - the modular process control system from B&R
With B&R APROL, TRIPS implements flexible, scalable and highly available process control systems – from medium-sized companies to large-scale plants. We provide our customers with comprehensive support:
- System selection & architecture planning
We analyze your requirements and design a suitable APROL system concept – scalable, future-proof and seamlessly integrable into existing environments. Edge computing, OPC UA and MQTT offer the ideal connection to your infrastructure. - Project planning & engineering
Our specialists take on the complete creation of your APROL project – from the hardware definition and system logic to the HMI/SCADA configuration. Functionalities such as energy monitoring, OEE calculations, condition monitoring and comprehensive reporting are also part of the system’s capabilities. - Commissioning & training
TRIPS supports you on-site or remotely during commissioning – including functional tests, acceptance tests and comprehensive documentation. We can also provide user training on request. - Migration & modernization
Whether Siemens PCS7, WinCC or legacy systems: We migrate your existing control technology safely to the APROL world – including data transfer and IO adaptation. A very large selection of drivers enables communication with third-party PLC controllers. - Security & security certificates
Aprol offers the highest industrial security standard to protect your systems and machines. Security certificates monitor every type of communication inside and outside the system.
B&R Automation Studio - integrated engineering for machine and plant construction
As an engineering platform for modular machine and system automation, B&R Automation Studio enables the efficient implementation of complex control projects. TRIPS supports you with comprehensive know-how in all development phases:
- Software development in accordance with IEC 61131-3
Our developers program in a clearly structured, modular and documented way – including safety, Acopos Motion and modern mechatronic systems such as AcoposTrack or Acopos 6D Integration. - HMI and visualization concepts
We design modern, intuitive user interfaces and combine control, drive and visualization in one integrated system. State-of-the-art HTML technology such as MappView displays your application on any end device. - System integration & communication
From all known bus systems to OPC UA and MQTT – TRIPS ensures the seamless integration of your B&R solution into higher-level systems (MES, ERP, cloud). - Standardization & project structure
We develop reusable function blocks, templates and application standards for machine builders and series systems – efficiently and maintainably.
What TRIPS does as a B&R competence center
With TRIPS, you benefit not only from technological expertise, but also from a well-coordinated team that reliably plans, implements and supports complex automation projects. Our services at a glance:
- Advice on the optimum system strategy (APROL or Automation Studio)
- Planning, engineering and commissioning from a single source
- Migration of existing systems to B&R
- Project coordination with B&R, OEMs and end customers
- Training & technical support for your maintenance teams
APROL is B&R’s modular process control system for higher-level control and management systems, while Automation Studio serves as an engineering environment for machine and plant automation.
TRIPS offers the complete migration of legacy systems such as Siemens PCS7 or WinCC to the APROL platform – including data transfer, IO adaptation and communication connection.
With Automation Studio, modular control systems can be developed efficiently – including safety, visualization, motion and seamless communication via OPC UA, MQTT or Profinet.
TRIPS combines a deep understanding of systems with many years of project experience in APROL and Automation Studio – for individual, practical automation solutions.
