For the first time this was a joint annual meeting. VIPA Controls, the control division of the YASKAWA Group, gave detailed information about the latest control, the MICRO PLC, and also an insight into what generation of control is already under development for the future.

The newly developed GA700 inverter, which is characterized not only by its compact design, but also by its easy commissioning, was also on the agenda. There were also updates of the success model in the field of servo technology, the Sigma-7.

Common solutions create common aims. YASKAWA drive technology combined with the VIPA control technology is currently changing the market completely. So that all partners had first-hand knowledge of news, tips & tricks, workshops were held on these topics.

“In addition to a lot of information from the fields of drive and control technology, we got a feel for how closely both our company and our partners have already grown together”, Harald Benkert, Sales Director at VIPA Controls, is delighted with the successful meeting.

The future close cooperation was once again underlined with a joint event. We went on a boat tour through Porto, followed by a visit to a port wine production cellars in the heart of Porto.
