FlowChief keeps everything moving smoothly

Software Specialist

In the areas of process control, SCADA, energy management, IIoT, and cloud services

With our FlowChief product line—named after the system itself—we have been developing what was, at the time, the first web-based process control system since 2001. In addition to being independent of specific manufacturers and hardware, all our products stand out in the market through standardization and openness, combining enormous potential with investment protection and security. Our innovative corporate culture—shaped by creative employees working on exciting projects—is reflected in our products. For our customers in the water, automotive, mechanical and plant engineering, energy, and industrial sectors, we implement solutions for the visualization, analysis, and monitoring of machines, plants, and processes. In doing so, we utilize cutting-edge technologies with a focus on always staying one step ahead. With our in-depth expertise and industry knowledge gained from numerous projects, we offer a comprehensive range of services and consulting options upon request.
