Software Development for Industrial Machinery Manufacturers

Let's Talk
  • SELL MORE THAN THE MACHINE

    Turn your installed base into recurring revenue with remote monitoring, service contracts and a spare-parts portal your customers actually use

  • QUOTE COMPLEX MACHINES FASTER

    Rules-based configurators produce a valid configuration, price and BOM in minutes, so engineering only handles the true specials

  • SHIP COMPLIANT MACHINE SOFTWARE

    Build connectivity and machine software for the EU Machinery Regulation and Cyber Resilience Act from the first sprint, not the week before CE sign-off

Why It Matters

Your Machines Are Becoming Software Products. Your Systems Need to Catch Up.

Your customers no longer buy only steel, motors, and controls. They expect uptime commitments, remote support, parts delivered fast, and data from the machine they paid for. At the same time, EU regulation now treats software and connectivity as part of product safety and security. Most machinery OEMs aren’t set up for that yet:

  • Engineering lives in PLM and CAD, while sales configures machines in spreadsheets or a configurator nobody trusts
  • Service runs on email, phone calls, and ERP screens, with no history per serial number
  • Thousands of machines in the field send no data at all, so every breakdown is a surprise for you and your customer
  • Software ships with the machine, but updates, vulnerabilities and documentation are handled case by case

We connect those pieces into one product and service platform:

  • Machines in the field report status, alarms, and usage, so service becomes proactive instead of reactive
  • Sales quotes from validated configurations, with BOMs that engineering and production can build without rework
  • Parts and service become a digital channel with its own revenue line, not a cost center
  • Compliance evidence is produced as you develop, not reconstructed before an audit

Planning a connected machine line or a new aftermarket channel? We’ll map your machines, systems, and service model in one technical workshop, and show you where to start for the fastest return.

Modernizing unstable systems? Launching new products?

We build development environments that deliver enterprise-grade scalability, compliance-driven security, and control baked in from day one.

What We Deliver

Industrial Machinery Manufacturing Software We Ship

Industrial machinery manufacturing software is software designed to support the engineering, production, assembly, monitoring, and maintenance of industrial equipment and machinery. It can include MES, production planning, quality management, equipment traceability, IIoT monitoring, predictive maintenance, digital twins, inventory and supplier management, and integrations with ERP, PLM, CAD, and shop-floor systems.

  • Connected Machine and Remote Monitoring Platforms

    We build connected-machine platforms that collect telemetry, alarms, utilization, operating conditions, and service events from equipment deployed in the field. Data from machines can be normalized and streamed into a central platform where service teams see fleet-wide health, recurring faults, firmware versions, uptime, and maintenance status in one place.

    Customers can receive a branded portal with live equipment status, performance trends, maintenance history, documentation, and service requests. We can also integrate the platform with ERP, CRM, ticketing, and service systems so a machine alarm can automatically create a case, notify the right team, or trigger a maintenance workflow.

    For unreliable connectivity, we can support local buffering, delayed synchronization, and edge processing so machines continue operating even when the connection to the cloud is interrupted.

  • Aftermarket and Spare-Parts Portals

    We develop digital spare-parts portals that help customers identify, price, and order the correct component for a specific machine or serial number.

    The portal can generate interactive catalogs from BOM, ERP, PLM, and serial-number data, with exploded views, superseded part numbers, compatibility rules, customer-specific pricing, availability, and order status. This reduces the need for customers to call service teams or search through static PDFs.

    We can connect the portal directly to ERP, inventory, CRM, and eCommerce systems so customers see current stock, contract pricing, lead times, and order history. For OEMs, this creates a direct digital aftermarket channel and helps capture parts revenue that may otherwise go to independent distributors or third-party suppliers.

  • Field Service Management Software

    We build field service platforms that connect service coordinators, technicians, equipment records, spare parts, warranties, and customers in one workflow.

    Service teams can create and assign work orders, schedule technicians, track SLA commitments, manage service contracts, and maintain a complete service history for every machine by serial number. Mobile applications can give technicians access to manuals, checklists, previous repairs, equipment data, and required parts while they are on site.

    We can also support remote assistance, photo and video documentation, digital signatures, offline mobile workflows, and integration with ERP, CRM, inventory, and billing systems.

    The goal is to improve first-time fix rates by giving technicians the right machine history, diagnostics, and parts information before they arrive.

  • CPQ & Product Configurators for CTO/ETO Manufacturing

    We develop rules-based CPQ and product configuration systems for configure-to-order and engineer-to-order machinery businesses. The configurator can translate customer requirements into a technically valid machine configuration, price, BOM, routing, and commercial proposal while checking engineering rules automatically. Standard options can be handled directly by sales teams, while only genuinely non-standard requirements are escalated to engineering.

    We can integrate the configurator with CAD automation to generate drawings or models, with PLM for engineering data, and with ERP for BOMs, routings, quotations, and production orders.

    This reduces manual engineering effort during quoting, shortens response times, and prevents invalid combinations from reaching production.

  • Machine HMI and Edge Software

    We build modern operator interfaces and edge applications for industrial machinery, including HMIs, local dashboards, machine-control interfaces, diagnostics, and data-collection services.

    Edge software can preprocess machine data locally, execute rules close to the equipment, buffer information during network outages, and synchronize with cloud platforms when connectivity returns. This helps maintain critical machine functionality without making production dependent on a permanent internet connection.

    We can also support secure software and configuration updates, version management, remote diagnostics, and controlled deployment of updates across installed machines.

    For brownfield environments, the edge layer can connect older PLCs, sensors, and industrial protocols with newer cloud, analytics, and service platforms.

  • Predictive Maintenance and Condition Monitoring

    We build predictive maintenance systems that use telemetry and service data from the installed machine fleet to identify early signs of degradation and failure.

    OEMs often have a unique advantage because they can combine operating data from many similar machines with engineering knowledge, maintenance history, failure modes, and component specifications. This data can support models for detecting bearing wear, drive anomalies, temperature changes, vibration patterns, process drift, and other indicators of developing problems.

    The platform can score equipment health, estimate maintenance urgency, and convert alerts into service tickets or recommended actions automatically.

    We can combine machine-learning models with engineering thresholds and rule-based diagnostics, allowing service teams to prioritize the most meaningful alerts rather than reacting to every individual sensor deviation.

  • Digital Twin and Virtual Commissioning

    We build digital twins and simulation environments that allow engineering teams to test machine behavior before physical commissioning.

    A virtual model can be connected to PLC logic, control software, HMI applications, or other machine systems so teams can test sequences, interlocks, error handling, and operator workflows before the final hardware is available.

    This helps identify software and integration issues earlier, when they are cheaper to correct than during installation at the customer’s site.

    For commissioning, the same environment can support regression testing, operator training, software validation, and future machine updates. By resolving more problems virtually, manufacturers can reduce on-site debugging, shorten commissioning windows, and improve consistency across machine variants.

Our Advantages

What We Offer

We speak controls and cloud

Our engineers work across the full stack, from PLCs and fieldbus protocols to edge gateways, cloud platforms and customer-facing apps. That means one team owns the data path from sensor to dashboard.

Your installed base, not only new machines

Most of your revenue potential sits in machines already in the field. We connect them with non-invasive retrofit gateways that read data without touching safety logic or putting existing certifications at risk.

Product security, not only IT security

Machines are products with 15–25-year lifecycles. We build the secure development lifecycle, SBOMs, signed updates and vulnerability handling that the Cyber Resilience Act and IEC 62443-4-1 expect from manufacturers.

Built around your PLM and ERP

Configurations, BOMs and serial numbers stay consistent from quote to production to field service, because we integrate with the systems you already run instead of replacing them.

Proof before scale

Every engagement starts by connecting one real machine or test bench end to end. You see the hardest integration working before you commit to a fleet rollout.

A partner for the full product lifecycle

We design for long support periods: versioned APIs, backward-compatible updates and documentation your own team can maintain long after launch.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Why is custom industrial software development better than off-the-shelf solutions?

    For custom software development for manufacturing industry, while off-the-shelf software might seem like a quick fix with a lower upfront price tag, it usually hides massive operational expenses. You often end up paying skyrocketing per-user licensing fees as you scale, plus heavy consulting costs just to force the software to connect with your existing legacy equipment. Custom software flips this dynamic by turning your technology into an owned asset rather than an endless rental. Instead of changing your proven shop floor workflows to fit a rigid platform, a custom build perfectly mirrors your most efficient processes.

    Beyond just cost predictability, custom development creates a competitive moat and dramatically lowers your security risks. When you own the source code, a vendor’s arbitrary update schedule or sudden price hikes can never hold you hostage. A bespoke system is inherently more secure and can be engineered from day one to meet strict defense or industry compliance standards without bloated features you never use.

  • How do we connect machines that are already installed at customer sites? 

    Through a retrofit gateway that reads data from the existing controller over OPC UA, Modbus or the controller vendor’s native protocol. The gateway is read-only toward the control system, so safety logic and existing certifications are untouched. It connects outbound to the cloud, which customer IT teams approve far more easily than inbound access. A first machine type is typically connected within weeks, and the same gateway image then rolls out across the fleet.

  • How does software for optimizing manufacturing processes reduce operational costs?

    Your partner must deliver more than clean code; they must understand the physical realities of your shop floor. Our solutions reduce costs through three key strategies:

    • Optimized Supply Chain: AI-driven scheduling algorithms dynamically reroute workflows and eliminate the manual rework of static spreadsheets. This agility supports just-in-time manufacturing.
    • Predictive Maintenance: We eliminate devastating line shutdowns by utilizing machine learning to monitor machine telemetry (temperature, vibration) and predict when a part will fail weeks before it actually breaks. This shifts your approach from reactive repairs to proactive maintenance.
    • Automated Quality Control: Instant, automated quality checks on the line prevent material waste and ensure you only ship flawless products.
  • Does the EU Cyber Resilience Act apply to our machines? 

    If your machine has software and a data connection, whether to a network, a cloud service, or a service laptop, and you sell it in the EU, it very likely falls under the CRA. Manufacturers must design products to be secure, handle and disclose vulnerabilities, provide security updates for the support period, maintain an SBOM and report actively exploited vulnerabilities. The new Machinery Regulation adds its own requirement: safety functions must be protected against corruption, including cyber attacks. We build the development processes, technical controls and documentation behind these obligations; your conformity assessment and legal interpretation stay with you and your advisors.

  • Should we build a custom product configurator or buy a CPQ platform?

    Buy if your products fit a standard option structure and your configuration rules are moderately complex. Build or extend if you’re engineer-to-order, if rules live in senior engineers’ heads, or if quotes require CAD output and production-ready BOMs. Many machinery OEMs land on a hybrid: a commercial CPQ for pricing and quoting, plus a custom rules engine and CAD automation for the engineering-heavy part.

  • Can you work with our existing PLM, ERP and controls platforms? 

    Yes. We integrate rather than replace. Configurators and service platforms read product structures from your PLM, exchange orders and parts data with your ERP, and collect machine data from your existing controllers. Your teams keep working in the tools they know, and the data stays consistent between them.

  • How long does the process of developing manufacturing software take?

    The timeline heavily depends on the complexity of your operations, but most custom software projects for manufacturing range from three to twelve months for the first major deployment. Massive enterprise-level transformations can sometimes take up to eighteen months, while smaller, highly targeted applications can be deployed much faster. However, working with a modern development team means you do not have to wait a year in the dark to see a return on your investment. For the next step, look at our Cloud-Native Transformation for Manufacturing Software.

    The best technology partners use an iterative approach where they build and release the software in functional modules. This means you might get a working proof of concept, solving an immediate bottleneck in just a few weeks. By phasing the rollout, your engineering team can start testing the system in a real environment early on, which significantly reduces risk and ensures the final product perfectly aligns with your actual production workflows.

  • Can you integrate new software with our existing legacy machinery?

    Absolutely. The idea that you have to rip and replace your expensive legacy equipment to achieve digital transformation is completely outdated. Those older machines represent decades of capital investment and still perform their core mechanical tasks perfectly. A strong technical team can perform a digital retrofit by installing aftermarket sensors and necessary digital retrofits directly onto your existing hardware.  

    This strategy allows developers to securely extract vital telemetry data using modern protocols like MQTT without interfering with the original programming of the machine. The goal is to build custom middleware that acts as a secure translator between your older equipment and your modern cloud or enterprise resource planning systems.
