CTE shares its expertise and supports you with over 30 years of experience in automation and industrial IT

CTE's recipe for success is a mixture of know-how and passion. This shows in many ways, not only in our expertise.

There is a clear trend towards ever more extensive and powerful, albeit more complex, automation and IT system landscapes, including in the industrial environment, known as OT 'Operational Technologies' or ICS 'Industrial Computer Systems'. CTE was able to identify this trend at an early stage and thus, accordingly, has created competence centres over the last few years. The design and implementation of industrial system landscapes requires not only sound know-how in the field of IT but also a great deal of experience in automation and production technologies.

We always work in an interdisciplinary manner to ensure the success of your project. Our system expertise involves the following partners:

As experts, we carry out a variety of roles. We are on the expert stage at Pharma Forum at FHNW in Muttenz, appear as keynote speakers at zenonIZE in Salzburg or you can find us with innovative trade fair presentations at Ilmac. Our aim is to inspire people with our enthusiasm for automation processes. Our greatest concern is to break new ground and optimise processes in a meaningful way. Because the world has changed.

We assume that the topic of artificial intelligence will also play an increasingly important role in our industry. However, first, proven foundations must be created through data science in order to take the next step towards AI.

Of course, humans still play an important role in artificial intelligence. This was also the case in our latest development, the CTE Data Science Framework. Let's set aside buzzwords such as 'data mining', 'machine learning', 'neural networks' and 'artificial intelligence' and look at answers that explain the 'how'. How do we get to artificial intelligence while taking into account the regulatory requirements that apply in the pharmaceutical industry? It's not that simple.

As experts in process automation, we have been driven by the 'how' for over 30 years. Automated solutions shape our everyday lives. This drive has led us to develop a standardised process that allows us to make data-driven decisions with the help of data science. We are convinced that pure data storage does not exhaust the potential. Data should be interpreted if we want to unearth the treasures at the bottom of the sea. Let's dive in together and find out where data science can create added value on the road to artificial intelligence!

This picture illustrates CTE's expertise in providing highly available, future-proof and security-oriented network solutions, essential for increasing performance in the networked manufacturing industry and meeting the Industry 4.0 vision.

Information needs Industrial IT

As specialists in process automation, we also know our way around qualified IT infrastructures. As a Microsoft Gold Partner with a focus on "Networking Infrastructure Solutions", CTE is designed for highly available, long-term usable and, above all, secure networks.

Our services are aimed at manufacturing companies that require comprehensive expertise in terms of software and hardware. The basis of IIOT and Industry 4.0 consists of highly communicative, fully networked systems. However, they must first and foremost be stable in order to remain operational. They must be both scalable and performant. As well as industrial networks, our in-depth expertise covers cyber security, back-up & disaster recovery and firewalls.
