Industrial automation machines for dispensing, impregnation, and plasma processing
bdtronic manufactures and installs process automation equipment—adhesive dispensers, impregnation systems, plasma cleaners, heat-staking machines—for automotive, electronics, and medical device production. The tech stack centers on SAP R/3 for ERP, C# and Java for machine control and HMI development, and MySQL/PostgreSQL for plant data integration.
