PROFIBUS & PROFINET International (PI) has formally recognized Helmholz Benelux as a PI Competence Center (PICC).

Besides offering high-end products for PROFINET infrastructures and field networks, Helmholz Benelux has now been recognized as an expert hub. This allows the company to not only provide complete technical support but also to share their extensive knowledge on PROFINET and PROFIBUS technologies.

The confirmation signifies that Helmholz Benelux is a company that meets the highest quality and service standards laid down by the international PI community. The corporation underwent the audit in October and was evaluated according to very demanding quality of service criteria. The audit was completed successfully and without any remarks.

"This award means a great deal to us," confirms Bart Pape, technical manager at Helmholz Benelux. "It emphasizes our capability to deliver customers reliable solutions for their industrial networks. So with the official PI Competence Center title, this recognition is now formalized, and we take great pride in that."

Helmholz Benelux, as a PI Competence Center, can provide advice and assistance with network designs that are sustainable and reliable in the long term, backed by theory and years of practical experience.

The company also organizes training sessions and workshops for engineers and technicians. Moreover, the Helmholz Benelux team is skilled in on-site diagnostics and troubleshooting of both PROFINET and PROFIBUS.

By combining the knowledge, service, and products, Helmholz Benelux is helping companies to secure, optimize, and future-proof their industrial networks.

PI International Chairman Xaver Schmidt points out the importance of this growth: "Helmholz Benelux as a new PI Competence Center means that we broaden our international competence and support. This ensures that our technology is not only globally available but also consistently supported and further developed. Competence Centers are indispensable in providing users everywhere access to know-how and assistance”.
