Interconnected & scalable solutions for mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and manufacturing companies.
From metal to megabytes: The future of industry is digital
Germany's industrial success story has been built on machines, tools, and precision manufacturing. As a global leader in industry, Germany now faces a new era shaped by digitalization and Industry 4.0. Production is evolving, and global competition demands innovative solutions. With customized software, we help companies in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and other industrial sectors become more efficient, connected, and resilient – ensuring a future-proof industrial landscape.
Industry 4.0 starts with smart software
Imagine your machines and systems communicating seamlessly, your data delivering valuable insights in real time, and your processes running so efficiently that every resource is optimally utilized – interconnected, automated, and intelligent. The technologies for this already exist – the key is to tailor them to your specific needs. We support you from the initial idea to full implementation, bringing expertise from a wide range of industries.

The future of manufactoring is digital. With IIoT, you can make your production processes more efficient, transparent, and flexible. Connected machines that communicate seamlessly and digital representations of your workflows are key to staying competitive.
We provide end-to-end IIoT solutions – from embedded systems and web or mobile applications to full cloud integration. Using edge computing, gateways, and standards like OPC UA, we ensure smooth networking and communication. Simulations and digital twins create realistic testing environments, while dashboards and AI-powered analytics enable data-driven decision-making – building a solid foundation for Industry 4.0.
Intuitive and powerful Human-Machine Interfaces (HMI) are essential for industrial automation. They serve as the bridge between humans and machines – playing a crucial role in efficient processes, safe operation, and seamless interaction with complex systems.
We develop tailored HMI solutions with user-centric interaction concepts, ranging from touch and voice control to gesture-based operation. Our approach leverages high-performance UI technologies and ensures optimal integration with machine control systems, edge devices, and cloud platforms. Functional and information security are integral components of our HMI solutions.
Web portals are key touchpoints for your stakeholders. Whether customer, supplier, or service portals – or even configurators – we develop solutions that perfectly align with your business case while keeping user needs at the center.
We build portals based on modern web applications like Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) and complement them with mobile apps or dedicated mobile clients. Seamless integration with ERP, CRM, and other systems via APIs is standard practice. With user-centric and, if desired, accessibility-compliant UX/UI design following BFSG or WCAG standards, we create intuitive solutions that drive high user acceptance.
Software platforms are a strategic game changer. They establish company-wide standards, simplify complex software ecosystems, and reduce long-term costs. Once developed, modular components can be flexibly reused across different applications.
Implementing such platforms is challenging: they must be scalable, secure, and adaptable to grow alongside your product portfolio. Diverse requirements from various projects, IT departments, and other business units need to be considered. With our expertise in architecture, APIs, processes, and governance, we develop platforms that are modular, interoperable, and perfectly tailored to your company’s needs.
Tailored MES and FMS solutions make all the difference in production. Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) ensure transparency, precise control, and optimal planning. Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMS) provide the adaptability needed to meet changing requirements – from automated tool changes to the customization of individual "recipes."
Standard software often reaches its limits with complex demands. With customized solutions, we create seamless interfaces to ERP, SCM, and other systems, maximizing the efficiency of your production. Our strength: From architecture to integration, we ensure that all systems work together flawlessly.
We always feel that slashwhy takes full ownership of the product. Everyone involved fully identifies with the product. This is different from other service providers.”
