Control and process automation
Design and programming of control systems, including electric agricultural vehicles, test benches and production facilities.
Welcome to Kuhlmann – Linux & Automation
We develop control systems and automation solutions for machines, vehicles and production facilities.

For mechanical engineering, drive technology and on-site machine operation, we collaborate with a specialist engineering partner. This allows us to support you from initial planning through implementation to long-term service.
In our projects we use open operating systems and protocols. We document interfaces and architecture decisions transparently, so that your own staff can maintain and further develop the systems.
Services
Fieldbuses and interfaces
Connecting controllers, sensors and actuators via Modbus, CAN/CANopen and EtherCAT.
Embedded systems
Low-level software development on real-time Linux or Zephyr RTOS. Which system is used depends on the available resources and the real-time requirements.
Machine vision
Camera-based analysis with OpenCV and YOLO, integrated into the control system and running locally, without a cloud connection.
Principles
Our systems are designed to be maintainable in the long term, transparent and, above all, robust in operation.
- Open technologies, no vendor lock-in
- Diagnostics built in from the start
- Clear interfaces and well-structured system architectures
Clients
Typical projects include modernising existing plants, new control components and Linux-based custom solutions.
- Industrial companies and mid-sized manufacturers
- Machine and plant engineering
- Bespoke projects with specialised hardware and software requirements

For an initial assessment, a short description of your current setup, your objective and the systems already in place is usually sufficient.
