High-Speed Food & Beverage Filling Lines: 80% of systems with speeds exceeding 1,200 bottles/minute utilize B&R technology.

Conclusion Validation
The data above confirms the previous theoretical analysis:
Performance Advantages are Quantifiable: B&R's technical superiority in synchronization accuracy (<1µs) and control cycle time (min. 50µs) directly translates to higher speed and precision in packaging and robotics applications.

Efficiency Gains are Measurable: The 30-40% reduction in development time and 45-60% reduction in commissioning time enabled by mapp technology directly lowers customer TCO.

Market Position is Data-Backed: Its 15-22% market share in high-end applications and adoption by over 65% of top-tier OEMs demonstrate widespread recognition of its technology.


Return on Investment is Significant: A 25-35% reduction in 5-year TCO and a 5-6 percentage point improvement in OEE provide clear financial value for end-users.

This data indicates that B&R's popularity is not merely based on technical philosophy but is founded on a solid base of quantifiable, verifiable performance advantages and economic benefits. Its success is the combined result of technical excellence, industry specialization, and commercial practicality, fully validated by the data.
