Software for the industry

Industry-specific software solutions are crucial for meeting the individual requirements and challenges of different industrial companies – especially in the age of Industry 4.0. Customised software solutions enable companies to optimise their processes, increase productivity and better meet the needs of their customers.

The use of customised software development offers the advantage that solutions can be tailored precisely to the specific requirements and workflows of your company. This not only facilitates the integration of data, processes and systems, but also ensures a high degree of flexibility in adapting to future changes.

By digitalising and networking these elements, your company can significantly increase its efficiency and improve its competitiveness. The simple integration of software solutions into existing systems helps to optimise workflows and obtain important information about production processes.

Production management
Systems for planning and controlling production.
→ Often developed in older technologies that are not compatible with new analysis tools or real-time dashboards.

Maintenance and servicing systems
Software that monitors machines and schedules maintenance cycles.
→ Safety-relevant applications where errors cannot be tolerated.

Logistics and warehouse management
Programmes that coordinate material flows and manage stocks.
→ Often isolated stand-alone solutions that are not integrated into modern ERP systems.

Quality control and documentation
Software that collects and analyses production data.
→ Many of these applications are linked to machines and require customisation.

Our aim is to keep your software stable and operational – no matter how old it is.

We offer you

Support and knowledge backup
We document your software thoroughly and ensure that your company is not dependent on individuals. In this way, we create a basis on which future adaptations are possible.

Stabilisation of existing systems
We analyse your current software and ensure that it works smoothly. This includes security updates, bug fixes and process optimisation.

Integration of new technologies
Without replacing your existing systems, we create interfaces to modern technologies – such as IoT platforms or cloud-based tools – and thus enable step-by-step further development.

Strategic consulting
We work with you to develop a plan for future-proofing your software. A replacement is just one of many options and is only recommended if it really makes sense for your company.

Why is a partner like soxes important?

Especially in the industry, it is crucial to work with a partner who understands both the technical side and the industry-specific requirements.

We have experience with

• High-availability systems that need to be maintained without downtime.
• Old systems (legacy software) that can only be modernised step by step.
• Machine control and interfaces that are specially adapted to production environments and address specific problems with customised applications.

From complex production processes to strict industry-specific regulations and individual interfaces – standard software is often not designed to fulfil these requirements. Industrial companies need tools that are precisely tailored to their specific processes so that no compromises have to be made in terms of efficiency, quality or safety.

This is precisely where it becomes clear why industry-specific solutions are a must in order to successfully master these industrial challenges:

Specialised machine control: programmes that communicate directly with production machines are frequently used in industry. These solutions were often developed in older programming languages such as Delphi, C++ or Cobol. PHP is also used, especially for web-based interfaces. A failure or error can paralyse not only the software, but the entire operation.

Systems that must not come to a standstill: Unlike in many other industries, industrial plants run around the clock. Every minute of downtime means financial losses. It is therefore crucial that the software is regularly maintained to prevent downtime.

Loss of knowledge: Many companies are faced with the challenge of employees retiring or leaving the company with the knowledge of the systems used. With older solutions in particular, there is often a lack of documentation and dependence on individuals becomes a weak point.

If your software is outdated, causes frequent malfunctions or your knowledge of the systems is dwindling, it’s time to put the support in experienced hands. With our support, your software will not only remain stable, but will also be adapted to the requirements of the future – without unnecessary risks or uncontrolled costs.

Efficient production needs a strong partner. We are at your side – let’s talk!
