The mechanical and plant engineering sector faces major challenges
Increasing competitive pressure, the need for more efficient production processes and the digital transformation of business processes call for future-proof technological solutions. Many companies struggle with siloed systems, a lack of transparency regarding production data and complex development projects that tie up resources and slow down innovation.
Konzept Informationssysteme is a specialist service provider that understands these challenges and develops bespoke software and engineering solutions. We combine in-depth industry knowledge with technological excellence to safeguard your competitiveness and optimise your processes for the long term.
Our core strengths to meet your needs
We offer end-to-end solutions that start exactly where you can achieve the greatest added value. Our services range from strategic consulting to turnkey implementation.
Digitalisation & Cloud Solutions
We build centralised and scalable platforms. Our approach is to replace fragmented desktop tools and manual processes with modern cloud applications. As demonstrated in our project for a centralised cloud application for industrial plant configuration, we reduce the time-to-order from weeks to hours, minimise sources of error and ensure seamless integration into your existing system landscape (e.g. CAD, ERP, sales).
Embedded Systems & Hardware-oriented Development
If your development department relies on the highest levels of precision and reliability, we develop robust embedded software. Our expertise covers the real-time control of sensors and actuators, the processing of large volumes of data on resource-constrained systems, and the validation of safety-critical functions. Projects such as software for electronic crop protection documentation or the development of a controller for semiconductor manufacturing demonstrate our expertise in developing high-availability systems for demanding industrial environments.
Systems Engineering & Project Management
Complex development projects require a structured approach. We support you with professional systems engineering to help avoid project delays and resource bottlenecks. From requirements analysis and system architecture through to verification and validation in accordance with standards such as IEC 61508 or DO-178C, we ensure that your projects are delivered on time and efficiently. Our experience in developing a control platform for avionics demonstrates our ability to operate successfully even in highly regulated industries.
Test automation and process control with M!OS
Instead of generic automation services, we rely on our modular M!OS system. It supports your testing and inspection processes by reducing manual effort and increasing transparency. It is a flexible platform for automating technical testing and development environments. M!OS enables the precise control of sensors and actuators, reliable data acquisition for endurance tests, and integration into CI/CD pipelines without the need for traditional PLC controllers. This leads to increased efficiency and ensures the quality of your products, as demonstrated by our project on automated temperature stability testing.
Why Konzept Informationssysteme is the right partner
We are more than just a development service provider. We see ourselves as a long-term, strategic partner for small and medium-sized enterprises and industry.
- Practical: We provide pragmatic and cost-effective solutions rather than theoretical concepts.
- Integration expertise: We specialise in integrating and modernising existing systems and machinery (legacy systems).
- A holistic approach: We cover the entire lifecycle, from the initial concept through to development, operation and maintenance.
- Technological excellence: We utilise modern technologies such as .NET Core, Angular, C/C++, Docker and Azure Kubernetes to create future-proof and scalable architectures.
FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
What are the benefits of bespoke software development in mechanical engineering?
Custom software enables tailor-made processes, greater efficiency and seamless integration into existing system landscapes. According to our mechanical engineering industry profile, this leads to lower error rates, improved scalability and sustainable competitive advantages.
What is M!OS and how is it used?
M!OS is our modular platform for automating technical test and development environments. It is used in our engineering projects to control test benches, carry out hardware-in-the-loop tests or validate prototypes. It is a flexible solution for tasks that go beyond traditional PLC controls.
Can you also integrate existing machines and legacy systems?
Yes, the integration of heterogeneous components and the connection of existing systems is one of our core strengths in systems engineering. We create modern interfaces (e.g. OPC UA, REST API) and, where required, migrate existing applications to the cloud.
How do you ensure quality and safety in challenging projects?
Quality assurance is an integral part of our development process. We work in accordance with international standards such as IEC 61508 and DIN EN ISO 13849. Through automated testing, code reviews and comprehensive documentation, we ensure the reliability and safety of our software solutions.
Do you also offer support with project planning and management?
Yes, our systems engineering services cover the entire project lifecycle, from requirements analysis and risk management through to system integration. We ensure structure, transparency and adherence to deadlines and budgets.
Where is Konzept Informationssysteme based, and in which regions do you operate?
Our head office is located in Meersburg, Germany. However, we serve clients throughout the DACH region and internationally, and support projects both on-site and remotely.
