Blaich Automation

What Blaich Automation does

Blaich Automation GmbH, founded in 2004 and headquartered near Stuttgart in Leinfelden-Echterdingen, Germany, is a privately held provider of integrated automation software and commissioning services for buildings, industrial systems, and media technologies. The company served mission-critical facility operators across Central Europe, with primary vertical focus on data centers, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and industrial facilities. Its technical offering combines proprietary software creation with system integration, addressing the need for reliable, continuously available automation in regulated and high-uptime environments.

The company's product architecture is anchored on Automated Logic's WebCTRL building automation system—an open, scalable BMS platform with over 50 years of development—that provides central visualization, energy management, and system integration via BACnet and open APIs. Supporting modules include energy consumption analysis and optimization, digital services for remote monitoring and predictive maintenance, and integration with open standards for seamless interoperability across third-party building subsystems.

Blaich operated a services-led revenue model combining project-based hardware/software sales and installation with recurring service and maintenance contracts. Go-to-market was direct enterprise field sales targeting mission-critical customers in the Stuttgart region and broader Central Europe. In August 2025, Carrier Global Corporation completed the acquisition of Blaich Automation GmbH for an undisclosed amount, converting the company into Automated Logic's first owned controls field office in Germany. Following the transaction, Blaich's existing leadership—anchored by founder Daniel Blaich—remained in place, and the business now combines direct-owned enterprise delivery with access to Carrier's wider dealer and Value-Added Reseller network globally.
