Production data alone do not create value.

Applications do.

The digital transformation of manufacturing has already become a reality. In the automotive, semiconductor, mechanical engineering, avionics, and process manufacturing industries, the shift from conventional manufacturing processes to data-driven, autonomous production systems is in full swing. Across all industries, shop floor managers know that production data is the key to the future of manufacturing.

But data alone does not create value. It is the foundation—the real value only emerges when process and product data enable value-adding applications that simplify and accelerate the activities of those involved in the process.

  • Applications that increase per capita output
  • Tools that reduce manual work
  • Solutions that measurably improve quality
  • Use cases that significantly reduce costs

No matter which stage of transformation you are at:

Whether you are just starting to systematically collect production data or already have a mature digital strategy and initial data-based applications in place, the next step is crucial: added value is created through concrete applications. Data collection is the foundation.

Data that is only collected and not used effectively leads to unnecessary storage and management costs. Companies can only justify the costs and generate real added value from their data through targeted application.

We are your partner on this journey. With a deep understanding of the requirements on the shop floor, your production processes, and challenges. And with the digital expertise to develop solutions from production data that really move you forward.

Discover how your production can benefit from data-driven applications

Standard software often only covers part of your requirements – or forces you to adapt your tried-and-tested processes to rigid structures. A customized software solution, on the other hand, is tailored to your processes, grows with your business, and delivers exactly what you really need – no more, no less.

A perfect fit

Customized software adapts to your processes - not the other way around. Your workflows, your shopfloor and your specific requirements take center stage. You avoid the ballast of unnecessary functions and get exactly what your business needs to work efficiently and reliably.

More control, more security

Customized software gives you sovereignty over your data. You decide where your information is stored and how it is used. This strengthens your data security and compliance.

Short paths, direct contact

You speak directly to the developers - no hotline, no detours. Requirements are understood quickly and changes are implemented swiftly. This saves time and stress.

Scalable and future-proof

Your company is constantly evolving. With a tailor-made solution, your software adapts and scales with your requirements - flexibly, audit-proof and without expensive detours. This allows you to invest wisely and sustainably in your digital future.

Your competitive advantage

Anyone can do standard. With a unique, customized solution, you secure your competitive edge - because your software does what no “off-the-shelf” product can do: Support your success.

Use your budget wisely. Put your trust in software that is as unique as your manufacturing process.
