Low-Level Programming

When software communicates directly with hardware

We develop software for systems that operate without a full-fledged operating system - running directly on microcontrollers, specialized chips, or single-board computers. Our focus is on efficient low-level programming to read sensors, operate interfaces, and precisely control peripheral devices such as motors, displays, or actuators - fast, lightweight, and perfectly tailored to your application.


Typical focus areas of our low-level software development:


  • IO technologies:
    Communication with digital and analog interfaces such as UART, SPI, I²C, USB HID, CAN bus, or BLE - e.g., for capturing sensor data, controlling LEDs, or transmitting control commands.
  • Microcontrollers & single-board computers:
    Development on platforms such as STM32, ESP32, Raspberry Pi (including Pico), Arduino, or ATmega328p - for industrial devices, wearable electronics, or embedded systems.
  • Frameworks & development environments:
    Programming with proven frameworks such as STM32 HAL, FreeRTOS, Arduino, CMSIS, or the Raspberry Pi Pico SDK - for maintainable, modular, and high-performance software solutions.

From simple motor control to the precise regulation of medical robot arms: we create software that seamlessly brings hardware to life - robust, direct, and individually adapted to your product.

Smart Home & Internet of Things (IoT)

Software that makes products intelligent

We bring intelligence to your products: Smart Home and the Internet of Things (IoT) stand for modern, connected technologies that enable devices to communicate with each other, automate processes, and be controlled via app or voice - manufacturer-independent and easily integrable.

The result is tailor-made software solutions precisely aligned with your products, systems, and requirements.

Typical application areas for Smart Home and IoT in your product:


  • Automated control of machines, devices, or building functions
  • Energy optimization and demand-based regulation
  • Security systems with integrated sensors, actuators, and real-time monitoring
  • Integration with voice assistants such as Alexa, Siri, Matter, or Google Assistant

Whether extending existing systems or developing new custom applications: we build connected software that runs reliably in everyday use — and that can easily be extended later.

Mobile App Development

Professional app developers for mobile devices

Since the very first business apps — long before the iPhone — we have been developing mobile software; today natively with Swift/SwiftUI and Kotlin, or cross-platform. Our many years of experience enable us to always make the right decisions for your mobile software in terms of usability, user acceptance, cost-effectiveness, and longevity. Since we have implemented apps both natively (ObjectiveC, Swift, SwiftUI, Java, Kotlin) and hybrid (PhoneGap / Cordova / IONIC, Flutter, ...) in the past, we can unbiasedly work out an individual app concept for your specific use case and only then choose the best technology for it.

Improve your business workflow with the possibilities that app development for mobile devices offers:

  • Paperless Office
    Digital document management and capture for your field service.
  • Geofencing
    Location-based time recording or scheduling planning.
  • Push Notifications
    Notification of your customers or your team.
  • Augmented Reality
    Plan and visualize projects directly at your customers' site.

Drone Software

Software solutions for control and automation

Our drone software relies on technologies such as FlightController, MavLink, and LIDAR scanners — for control, sensor integration, and automated workflows in civilian applications.

Features of our drone software:

  • Automated flight maneuvers
    Precise and repeatable flight maneuvers through programmable automation, including obstacle detection and GPS navigation.
  • Sensor integration
    Integration of sensors such as LIDAR, optical sensors, or air pressure sensors for comprehensive data collection and analysis.
  • Autonomous navigation
    Navigation systems enable independent mission planning and execution, including obstacle avoidance and dynamic route adjustment.

Tailor-made Mapping Software

Preparation and georeferencing

Solutions for map preparation and georeferencing enable the creation of precise, interactive maps that go beyond simple representations. The result is mapping software that integrates seamlessly into applications and offers a wide range of uses - from urban planning to environmental research.

  • Creation of interactive web maps
    Using technologies such as Leaflet, MapLibre-GL, OpenMapTiles, and the Mapbox Style Specification, we create interactive web maps that enable intuitive navigation and user interaction.
  • Creation of map material in various common formats
    Map material is created and delivered in formats such as MBTiles, PMTiles, GeoJSON, and GeoPackage, which integrate easily into various GIS systems and are suitable for numerous applications.
  • Map Rendering
    Advanced rendering ensures that maps are not only functional but also visually appealing. This enables effective presentation of data and improves the user experience.

Whether detailed geographical analyses need to be carried out, urban infrastructure planned, or scientific data visualized - tailor-made mapping software meets your specific requirements.

Concept Planning and Development

We're happy to develop concepts for your software

In the concept phase, the fundamental direction for implementing your project is defined according to your requirements. The better this planning is at the start, the more focused the actual development can be afterwards. The concept phase includes:

  • Planning in direct collaboration
  • Jointly defining requirements and goals
  • Early identification of problems and development of solutions
  • Concept visualizations as sketches and final drawings
  • Interactive prototypes (click dummy)

Frequently Asked Questions about Industry 4.0 Software

Everything about our custom software solutions

What does custom software cost? +
Getting started is more affordable than many expect: a concept phase or a manageable first project starts at €2,500 with us. Based on the concept, you then receive a proposal with a guaranteed fixed price — no hidden costs. So you know exactly what your software will cost before the project starts.
How do you make sure your custom software really fits our company's needs? +
Every project starts with a personal conversation in which we get to understand your process and your goals - not just work through a specification sheet. From that understanding, we develop a concept together with you, refined through workshops and feedback loops before development actually begins. That is how we make sure the finished software really fits your workflows.
How durable and stable is your software? +
Very: over 80% of our revenue comes from repeat customers, and many client relationships go back more than 18 years. That comes down to industrial-grade technologies and the fact that we keep maintaining and evolving our software long-term instead of leaving it to fend for itself after the project ends.
What kinds of Industry 4.0 software do you develop? +
We develop custom solutions for workflow optimization, digital checklists, paperless documentation, data integration, process visualization, machine interfaces, quality assurance, and internal business software.
Can you integrate or extend existing systems? +
Yes. We connect new software with existing ERP, MES, PLM, and machine systems. On request, we develop interfaces or API extensions.
How does custom software help digitalize workflows? +
Tailor-made tools can automate processes, make information available in real time, and eliminate media discontinuities. This reduces errors, saves time, and improves efficiency.
Do you also offer mobile or tablet solutions? +
Yes. Many of our industrial solutions run on tablets, smartphones, or industrial terminals - ideal for the shop floor, warehouse, or field service.
How do you ensure your software is robust and long-lasting? +
We develop with industrial-grade technologies, run extensive testing, offer long-term support, and on request work with version-controlled ongoing development.
How does a digitalization project run with you? +
We first analyze the current process, identify optimization potential, build a prototype, develop the final software, and support the rollout in live operation.
How do you ensure the security of your software? +
Security is an integral part of our development process. We use static application security testing (SAST) during development and dynamic application security testing (DAST) against running systems. In addition, we run regular dependency audits to detect and fix known vulnerabilities in third-party libraries early on.
What is an SBOM and why does it matter? +
An SBOM (Software Bill of Materials) is a machine-readable inventory of all components and dependencies in a piece of software — comparable to an ingredient list. We create SBOMs for our projects and regularly check them against current vulnerability databases. This way, you and we always know exactly what is inside your software and whether action is needed.
Is our software ready for the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA)? +
The EU Cyber Resilience Act requires manufacturers of products with digital elements to ensure end-to-end cybersecurity from December 2027 — including vulnerability management, security updates, and technical documentation. Our workflow with SAST, DAST, regular dependency audits, and SBOM generation already covers key CRA requirements today, so your software is prepared for the upcoming obligations.
