Remote readings from process meters
Each point needs a connection, a set of values and a transfer interval. The interface must preserve units, timestamps and validity.
Offered solution
Industrial applications, servers and data interfaces
We develop server and web applications and prepare interfaces that bring operating data from equipment into customer systems.
Operating context
The whole application matters.
Integration starts by identifying the data owner, meaning, units and time of origin. We design collection, transfer, display or further processing. Connections may use an agreed API, industrial communications or messaging, selected for the source equipment and destination system. The server component handles processing and operational diagnostics, while the web application provides views and workflows. Access, testing, deployment and recovery are defined with the customer’s IT team.
Scope of the solution
- Data flow analysis and interface specification
- Server and web applications for the workflow
- Integration using APIs or agreed interfaces
- Transfer diagnostics and error handling
- Test environment, deployment and handover
- WMS/WCS interfaces for receipt, storage, retrieval and transfers between warehouse and production.
- Exchange of load unit identifiers, source and destination locations and task results.
- Energy data and operating-scenario integration for PV, BESS and EV charging, including power limits and local-control interfaces.
Engineering priorities
From operating need to design.
Connecting production to a higher-level system
Conveyor or buffer changes affect states, commands and configuration in higher-level control. We coordinate PLC, visualization and manufacturing system connections.
Interfaces ready for operation
The design covers error states, connection diagnostics, interface versions and outage behaviour. Access permissions and network conditions are agreed with the operator.
WMS and WCS warehouse tasks
WMS manages inventory, storage locations and orders. WCS turns requests into transport execution and coordinates connected equipment. Integration defines task ownership, acceptance and completion acknowledgements, priorities and interruption handling so that message retries do not trigger duplicate handling.
Coordinating PV, BESS and EV charging
The EMS links generation and consumption measurements with battery storage, solar and charging-point controls. Shared data supports connection power limits, operating priorities and battery reserve requirements. The interface includes commands, status confirmation and clear operational monitoring.
Before engineering
Inputs that matter.
- Sources, recipients and system owners
- Data items, units, timestamps and interval
- Interface documentation and licences
- Network conditions, authentication and roles
- History, outage and recovery requirements
- Load unit and location data model, task allocation rules and available WMS/WCS supplier interfaces.
Agreed with the proposal
Outputs and acceptance.
- Application or configuration for the agreed scope
- Interface description, data dictionary and configuration
- Test results and operation and recovery information
- Test scenarios for incomplete tasks, repeated messages and reconciliation of physical stock with inventory records.
The actual scope and acceptance criteria depend on the application and contract.

The connection for each point was to be selected for local conditions and agreed with the operator. The brief specified six variables per meter and transfer at least once an hour. The scope included installation, programming and documentation of units, including configurations and source code.
Proposed scope
- Assessment of connectivity at each point
- Communication units, cabling and programming
- Transfer through an agreed interface
- Wiring and configuration documentation

Before we start
Questions that shape the project.
Can older meters be connected?
We first check outputs and communication modules. These determine the collection or conversion method and which values and intervals can actually be obtained.
Is source code included?
The offer defines the source code, configuration, backups and licences to be handed over. Custom application code is distinguished from third-party software governed by its own licence.
