Core offering

Wieland Electric manufactures and sells pluggable electrical installation connector systems (gesis indoor and RST outdoor ranges), industrial safety controllers (samos PRO family), terminal blocks, industrial connectors, PCB components, power supplies, and motion/safety relays. The company provides complementary planning software (samos PLAN6, Building Solutions Designer BIM), professional training seminars, and CE marking consulting services for machine builders, building technology integrators, and industrial automation customers.

Product overview

Wieland Electric is a solution provider and world market leader for pluggable electrical installations. The company offers a comprehensive portfolio organized into four main product categories: Electrical Installation (pluggable connector systems including gesis® and RST® ranges, flat cable systems like RST® NRG and gesis® NRG, distribution boxes, and the Wieland PREFAB modular construction solution), Connection Technology (selos terminal blocks, revos industrial connectors, and wiecon PCB components), Safety Technology (samos® PRO safety controllers including COMPACT and MOTION variants, samos® PLAN6 safety software, safety relays, motion relays, safety switches, and optoelectronic protective devices), and Electronic + Interface (wipos power supplies and podis® LED luminaires). The company also provides planning software tools (Building Solutions Designer BIM, Building Solutions Configurator, gesis® PLAN, selos PLAN, wipos PLAN), CE marking services, and professional training. The samos® PRO safety controller family serves as the core safety automation platform, expandable with digital/analog I/O modules and gateway modules for industrial communication protocols (PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP, CANopen, PROFIBUS, EtherCAT).
