Digitalisation for industry and mid-sized companies

We combine automation know-how with modern software development. The result is solutions that work on the shop floor and fit seamlessly into your IT.

Capture & understand machine data

Before you can optimise, you need to know what a machine is doing. We pull data from controllers, sensors and fieldbuses, even where no ready-made interface exists, and make it understandable.

  • Machine and process data acquisition
  • Live dashboards and condition monitoring
  • Foundation for OEE, energy monitoring and predictive maintenance
  • Analysis of historical measurement data

Retrofit & interface modernisation

Mechanically sound but digitally silent? We retrofit existing machines with modern, standardised interfaces and connect them to MES, ERP or the cloud.

  • Protocol gateways and adapters, e.g. to OPC UA or MQTT
  • Replacement of discontinued control and HMI software
  • Web-based user interfaces
  • Step-by-step migration without long downtime

Custom software development

When off-the-shelf software doesn't fit, we build tailor-made solutions for embedded, desktop, web and mobile platforms, optimised for resources, interfaces and your workflows.

  • Embedded software in C and C++
  • Desktop and server applications, e.g. in .NET
  • Web applications and apps
  • Product development for worldwide use

Machine vision

Camera systems for assembly inspection, surface inspection, optical metrology and code and character reading, in 2D and 3D and integrated directly into your line.

  • Completeness and assembly inspection
  • 3D surface inspection via laser triangulation
  • Metrology with micrometre accuracy
  • Traceability through image archiving

Legacy software modernisation

Old software is often business-critical and poorly documented. We analyse it, secure the knowledge it contains and modernise it step by step or replace it with current technology.

  • Analysis and documentation of existing code
  • Porting to current platforms and operating systems
  • Safeguarding with automated tests
  • Planned replacement without big-bang risk

Security & penetration testing

Connected machines need protection. We test software, devices and interfaces for vulnerabilities and help you close them.

  • Penetration tests for devices, software and interfaces
  • Security analysis of OT networks
  • Hardening, encryption and authentication
  • Security-focused code reviews

Local AI

Use AI without handing over your data: we advise you, size the hardware and set up language models that run in your network and use your knowledge.

  • Consulting, feasibility and hardware sizing
  • Running open language models on your own hardware
  • Knowledge assistants over your documents (RAG)
  • Integration and security to professional standards

Industrial protocols

Protocols and formats we work with

  • OPC UAThe vendor-independent standard for machine-to-machine communication
  • MQTTLightweight messaging, ideal for IoT and unreliable networks
  • EtherCATReal-time fieldbus for fast, synchronised data transfer
  • DDSReal-time middleware for scalable data exchange
  • ZenohEfficient protocol from sensor to cloud
  • CANopenProven standard in machine building and automotive
  • ASAM MDF4Measurement data format from vehicle and ECU development
  • Protocol not listed?Proprietary interfaces and legacy fieldbuses are our daily business. Just ask us.
