VIPA

VIPA GmbH was founded in 1985 by Wolfgang Seel in Erlangen as a system house for automation engineering. Step by step the company developed its own hardware components which resulted in the production of the first PC based machine operating panel in 1990. Further control components and communication modules were developed. Companies in the automobi... le, logistics and food industry as well as plants and machinery industry were one of the first purchasers. The launching of the modular automation system 200V provided the basis for the development of PLC Systems 100V and 300V. With the development of SPEED7-High-Speed-PLC a further technological milestone in the automation engineering was set in 2003. Based on a PLC ASIC from the subsidiary Profichip GmbH, a PLC was developed, which set new standards in processing speed, memory availability and storage management. VIPA expanded its range of products in 2005 with the Touch Panel family, which was completed with the VIPA Touchcontrol Panel - a Touch Panel with an integrated SPEED7-CPU - in 2008. So today VIPA has an integrated product portfolio for nearly all applications in automation engineering. Meanwhile VIPA is represented by 62 branches and services partners in 60 countries worldwide , so that a fast and smooth service on site is guaranteed.Read More
