Our core business

Contract engineering

We build software where machines, controls and data meet. As a standing team over years, as a work package with a defined result, or as a partner in a research project.

What we build for customers

  • Control integration. Data from Siemens Sinumerik 840D and ONE (Operate, HMI Advanced), FANUC (FOCAS2), S7, OPC UA and IO-Link. Tool tables, drive and process signals, NC programs, states.
  • Process monitoring. Detect tool wear and breakage, set limits automatically, predict remaining tool life. Time series, signal processing, machine learning on embedded hardware.
  • Edge systems. Industrial PCs at the machine with Docker services, signed updates and a link to your cloud or asset management. Operated for years, not just until acceptance.
  • Dashboards and data analysis. PostgreSQL, Grafana, custom interfaces. Plant data into asset management, ERP or customer portals.
  • Integrating research results. What started as a prototype in a research project, we deliver turnkey into the production environment.
  • Products under your brand. We build systems you ship under your own name. For a well-known German component manufacturer we supply the edge systems for data acquisition in machine tools.
Chain from the control via openXEdge and DataStore to FleetManager and customer portal
What we build belongs together: from the control to the customer portal.

How we work

ModelFor whomHow
RetainerManufacturers who need lasting engineering capacity without building their own teamMonthly allotment, fixed contacts, your repository or ours
Work packageClearly scoped tasks: an interface, an analysis, a demonstratorQuote with result and date
Research supportInstitutes and consortia that need edge hardware and software for trialsAs partner, member of the advisory committee or contractor
OperationsCustomers with our systems in the fieldUpdates, fault analysis, customer portal, security contact

You get intermediate results you can show, not only at the end. Code, documentation and tests belong to you.

Technology

Rust, Python, C++ and Qt, Vue, PostgreSQL, Grafana, Docker, Ubuntu Core. OPC UA with open62541, MQTT, REST. Git with CI, tests with readable reports, documentation a new colleague understands. We use AI tooling in development and set projects up so they stay maintainable with it.
