We plan and implement Operational Technology (OT)

CTE supports you along the entire value chain from automation and industrial IT to data management. Our focus is on a holistic approach to the ideal solution in terms of OT with software and hardware.

So it's all about the automation process, which is strategically thought through. CTE specializes in finding the perfect interface between hardware and software and preparing the data in an individual and well-structured way. The trend is clearly towards ever more extensive and powerful, albeit more complex automation and IT system landscapes, including in the industrial environment, the so-called OT "Operational Technologies". CTE identified this trend at an early stage and has created corresponding competence centers over the last few years. The design and implementation of industrial system landscapes requires not only sound know-how in the field of industrial IT, but also a great deal of experience in automation and production technologies.

As your partner, CTE has a structured approach to achieving your goals. This is exactly what we specialize in. We optimize processes and workflows. That's why our project workflow is standardized. We analyze, design, program, implement and maintain. On request, we can accompany the project from A to Z or take over parts of it.

We follow the V-model in all our projects. Our project process phases are geared towards carrying out a test phase for each design phase.

These are our core competencies!

Development Capability as a Corporate Culture

CTE's development capability is a central value in our mission statement. This focuses on a topic that has always been important to us as specialists in software and hardware engineering. This is why CTE has always invested an above-average amount in further training and technical developments.

The fact that this strategy has been successful over the last 30 years and continues to be so is demonstrated by the fact that CTE is growing steadily and the range of services and products is constantly being expanded. At the same time, however, the broader range of products and services and the ever stronger linking of individual components and services in the operational environment presents CTE with the major task of keeping an eye on all aspects and coordinating them in the best possible way.

A New Research & Development Department

The experience we have gained, the know-how we have acquired from many projects in various industries and fields of automation as well as customer wishes and requirements for systems make us experts. We actively monitor the market and see innovation management as a central task of the new Research & Development division.

We want to find continuous and incremental improvements, but also take a detached or even disruptive approach to topics. We collect and evaluate our ideas, focus on our product portfolio and move forward with determination. Our accumulated experience and the expertise we have gained from a large number of projects in various sectors and fields, as well as the wishes and requirements expressed by customers for products and systems and our own market observations, are central to this.

This wealth of ideas offers many opportunities, but also challenges: On the one hand, we want to maintain as much independence as possible in our developments, but on the other hand we do not want to distance ourselves from the "real world", i.e. our customer projects. We want to find continuous and incremental improvements, but we also want to take a detached or even disruptive approach to topics.

I appeal to everyone to tell us about their daily problems and to contribute any ideas, no matter how far-fetched!

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.
