    A successful financial year 2025 We closed the 2025 financial year successfully and increased our global sales to €1.24 billion, with 6% growth compared to the 2024 financial year. "2025 was a solid financial year for Beckhoff," summarizes Hans Beckhoff, Managing Director and Founder. He continues: "We have left the impact of 2023 and the resulting downturn in 2024 behind us." Global order intake increased over the course of 2025. We currently assume that the economy will experience a new growth phase two years after the start of the current cyclical crisis in many areas of the world.

  • 📈 30,000 SKUs per hour. Over half a mile of track. 40,000+ EtherCAT I/O points. 📈 This is what next-level electronic component distribution looks like. At its flagship global distribution center, Mouser Electronics needed to break through a throughput ceiling. With more than 1.2 million active SKUs ranging from large transformers to tiny poly-bagged components, traditional sortation technology simply could not scale. Enter EuroSort and Beckhoff. Together, we engineered a fully customized sortation suite featuring four distinct sorter types, thousands of destinations, and a mezzanine installation packed into just 14 feet of vertical clearance. At the heart of the system: 💻Real time control powered by TwinCAT ⏩ Ultra-fast communication via EtherCAT ⬆️ Distributed I/O architecture for massive node counts 🦺 Fully integrated safety with #TwinSAFE 🌐 Seamless OPC UA integration to the warehouse management system (WMS) The results: ✅ Nearly doubled put rates on goods-to-person systems ✅ Operators reaching up to 600 items per hour ✅ A scalable foundation for future high-density consolidation For intralogistics and e-commerce leaders, this proves that precision, speed, and efficiency in fulfillment are locked in with the right automation platform. 📖 Check out the full case study here: https://loom.ly/vNBTSws Learn more: 🔗 www.eurosort.com 🔗 www.mouser.com 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gEfzb29S #Beckhoff | #Automation | #EtherCAT | #Intralogistics | #eCommerce

  • 👏 Yet another milestone for #EtherCAT! 👏 This Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) certification for EtherCAT reinforces what many of us in industrial automation have already experienced firsthand: that high-performance networking and robust cybersecurity don’t have to be trade-offs. Achieving IEC 62443/CRA requirements for Security Level 2 without any technology changes highlights the strength of EtherCAT’s architecture and cybersecurity by design. 💪 Equally important is the flexibility. The ability to scale to higher security levels through targeted software enhancements gives manufacturers and other high-tech companies a secure path forward without costly redesigns. 🔒 This is just the latest reason why it's time to evaluate EtherCAT in your next cybersecure networking initiative! #EtherCAT | #IndustrialEthernet | #Cybersecurity | #CyberResilienceAct

    📢 UL Solutions has certified that 𝗘𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗖𝗔𝗧 𝗺𝗲𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝗜𝗘𝗖 𝟲𝟮𝟰𝟰𝟯 / 𝗖𝗥𝗔 𝗿𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗟𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹 𝟮 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗿 𝗲𝗻𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆. The analysis mapped the over 100 System Requirements from IEC 62443‑3‑3 across three representative EtherCAT system scenarios and confirmed strong security capabilities enabled by-design. The report shows that even higher security levels can be achieved via targeted software enhancements, avoiding hardware redesign. ⚙️   These results validate EtherCAT’s suitability for industrial control systems exposed to cyber threats and provide a clear foundation for manufacturers and users to implement robust cybersecurity measures. 🔒 Read the full press release here: https://lnkd.in/dXuCME9v #EtherCAT #ETG #Cybersecurity #OTsecurity
