Food, Beverage & Processing

Processing environments depend on automation, control and reliable communications to maintain consistent production.

Softcore Group Industrial Solutions can supply suitable automation and networking products for plant and machinery requirements, subject to the technical, environmental and compliance requirements of the application.

Agriculture, Irrigation & Pumping

Commercial agricultural and irrigation applications frequently combine pumping, motor control and remote communications.

We supply drives and solar pump inverters for boreholes, pump control and irrigation, along with networking equipment for remote sites.

Telecommunications & Network Infrastructure

Reliable communications infrastructure is increasingly important across industrial and commercial operations.

Softcore Group Industrial Solutions supplies fibre optic products, structured cabling, network cabinets, industrial and commercial networking hardware, PoE equipment, antennas, wireless infrastructure and supporting connectivity products.

Maintenance, Contractors & Plant Operations

Maintenance teams and industrial contractors frequently need replacement equipment quickly and may be working from an existing model number, equipment nameplate or historical specification.

Where an alternative product is proposed, the final selection must be technically verified for the intended application.
