Seidenader's former SAC - Software and Automation Center GmbH and Optima's Autocon have merged in Seidenader Automation GmbH & Co. KG.

The merger puts the new company in an excellent position to support line management solutions (SCADA), operator interface software and track & trace systems. With the combined know how, the specialists will even better meet the demands of the markets as integrator of Seidenader Vision products into Seidenader inspection solutions and Optima's machines as well as an OEM partner in the Southern Germany pharma machine building region.

Local support to OEM partners, solution provider for software systems of Rockwell, Wonderware and Intellution, and its well known role as an experienced vision integrator will give Seidenader Automation the special competitive edge.

"Joining forces will allow us to establish many of our products as an industry standard," a company spokesman said. "The proximity to our OEM customers permits us to react quicker and to develop more customized solutions with them and their customers in the pharmaceutical industry. With almost 50 employees we have the critical mass to support the solutions locally, but also on a worldwide basis."

Seidenader Automation is specialised in the development and integration of SCADA systems, line management solutions, track & trace systems and HMI software for industrial and OEM partners since 1999. The range of services comprises all phases of the project starting with the analysis up to the implementation as well as service and support through the whole live cycle of the production line.

Seidenader's SAC - Software and Automation Center GmbH and Optima's Autocon GmbH & Co. KG merged in Seidenader Automation GmbH & Co. KG beginning of 2008. It belongs by the majority to the Seidenader Group and employs 45 specialist in Markt Schwaben and Schwaebisch Hall.
