Production lines and machines that are faster, safer and easier to run.

From test stations to plant-wide data, Ti2 delivers control, vision and data systems for manufacturers, built on open standards so they stay supportable for years. We also help technology companies that build their own machines: contract controls engineering on CODESYS with EtherCAT, motion control, vision and Python tooling, taking a design from first prototype towards production.

What we do

What we do in Manufacturing

Line control and test stations

CODESYS control on Berghof controllers with EtherNet/IP and vision, including burner testing for an appliance line, delivered across several lines and test stations.

Production data collection

Production data captured across several plants with esCollate, WAGO and PROFIBUS gateways, and still supported more than 10 years on.

Legacy PLC connectivity

A CODESYS gateway that translates EtherNet/IP from existing PLCs to OPC UA, verified with protocol analysis.

Traceability

RFID and QR stations with a vision add-on and database checks, delivered in 2015 and supported through 2022.

Machine control and vision

For companies building their own machines: CODESYS with EtherCAT and motion control, Festo and ODOT I/O, and vision built into the machine control system.

Python tooling

Tooling that supports commissioning, test and day-to-day use of the machine.

Rapid, NDA-protected prototyping

Early prototypes built quickly and kept confidential, taking a design from first prototype towards production.

Advanced manufacturing

An advanced-manufacturing start-up

A young company building its own machines needed controls, and needed them fast.

What we did. Contract engineering on CODESYS with EtherCAT, motion control, Festo and ODOT I/O, vision and Python tooling.

The outcome. The first machine is complete, and the work continues.
