Bircher is a leading sensor technology company, with a wide range of sensors divided into two main categories: comfort and security, and machine safety. Comfort and security sensors are used in automatic doors, fences and gates. These sensors detect when someone approaches, causing the door to open automatically (comfort), and at the same time, the sensors ensure that the moving door will not hit anything or anyone (security). Bircher also offers sensors for machine safety, which has an important interface with King & Hartman. These sensors include switch mats and switch strips that ensure machines stop when someone gets too close to moving parts.
We have been working with Bircher for many years. During this time we have completed numerous successful projects together and built a strong bond of trust. Our joint efforts have resulted in innovative solutions and satisfied customers. One of our most memorable projects was the development of a fully automated lawn mower for large areas such as golf courses, which used switchgear from Bircher to ensure safe and efficient operation.
Our partner provides sensors made to customer specifications and combined with safety relays and electronic units to meet safety standards such as PL-e. The commitment to quality and customer satisfaction ensures that our customers always receive the best possible service. The extensive portfolio allows us to offer flexible and scalable solutions that contribute to our customers' success.
Our partners are carefully selected based on their expertise, reliability and commitment to quality. Partnering with Bircher allows us to provide our customers with the best possible solutions. Their innovative approach and customer-centric focus align seamlessly with our own values and goals.
