MESCO
MESCO hosted a MESCO Technology Day in Lörrach, providing answers to current questions about IIoT, security, and the perennial issue of functional safety.
MESCO – The specialist for hardware and software development for industrial communication recently hosted a Technology Day. The red-hot topics of IIoT, Safety and Security were the special focus of the event.
MESCO – as a certified PI Competence Center for PROFISafe – demonstrated with concrete examples how simplifications and accelerations in the development of sensors and drives are possible.
MESCO organized the day together with their partners Avnet Silica and Renesas. In addition to the current market trends, the participants exhibited great interest in the perennial issue of “Functional Safety.” Basic knowledge was equally in demand such as, e.g., special know-how in issues relating to modern fieldbus interfaces and parameterization.
MESCO Engineering supports its clients as a service contractor in the development and certification of devices and gladly passes know-how on – e.g. at the Safety & Security Forum in Munich or at a variety of other events: http://mesco-engineering.com/en-de/mesco/events

With its new Newburyport subsidiary, MESCO aims to consolidate its position at an international level in the future and tap into new markets. “With demand from the US continuing to rise and customer proximity essential, it is important that we offer a local interface,” said Thomas Best, Managing Director of the MESCO Group.
Starting with three employees, the US team will focus on hardware and software development for automation components, concentrating on industrial communication, functional safety, and explosion protection.
