Solutions

# Six problems you can solve with software.

For machine and equipment builders, manufacturers, and operators of distributed assets and buildings.

Each of these use cases starts from a concrete problem — recurring engineering, expensive special-purpose electronics, missing production data, distributed assets or building systems that have grown apart — and ends with an architecture that scales.

## By the problem you arrived with.

- ### Software updates in the field

  Keep delivered machines current from one place: see what runs where, roll out in stages, prove every change — across vendors and with the CRA in mind.

  - Products

    ORCHESTRATE

- ### Automation as a product

  Turn recurring engineering into a digital product business: develop standard apps, sell them digitally, deploy and bill them automatically.

  - Products

    CONTROL + ORCHESTRATE

- ### Replace proprietary controllers

  Develop functions instead of electronics: replace proprietary control electronics with standard hardware and a resource-efficient vPLC.

- ### Brownfield asset monitoring

  Connect existing plants: unlock data, bring it together company-wide and analyse it with your own analytics and AI tools.

  - Products

    CONTROL + ORCHESTRATE

- ### Distributed assets & infrastructure

  Control assets centrally without infrastructure at every site — like the 60 battery-powered mist showers of the cool spots in Vienna.

  - Products

    CONTROL CLOUD

- ### Building automation

  From single buildings to one centrally managed building ecosystem: software-based control, central orchestration, new functions as apps, continuous optimization.

## And when compliance is the trigger.

- ### CRA compliance

  The Cyber Resilience Act makes update and lifecycle capability mandatory — reporting obligations have applied since 11 Sep 2026. The platform delivers the technical capabilities for it.
