Our Expertise

When it comes to software development, we are the experts for demanding tasks. For everything that is complex and needs to work with precision. Such as the control of technical processes and machines, the automation of laboratories, or challenges in logistics and transport.

We analyse your requirements precisely, create clear specifications and functional requirements, and develop models for complex processes.

When selecting hardware and operating systems, we fully align with the requirements of your project. We are flexible and have already developed software for numerous platforms, including Windows, Linux and other Unix variants, as well as iOS and Android, real-time operating systems, and many more.

We command a wide range of industry-relevant programming languages, including C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, Python and SQL, as well as frameworks and toolkits required by your project: Boost, Qt, .NET, Blazor, MAUI, Spring Boot, Angular, React, and many more.

The applications we develop make use of a wide variety of database systems, such as Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle RAC, or PostgreSQL. For source code management, Git, Perforce, or Subversion are used depending on our partners’ specifications. To ensure consistently high code quality and automated verification of quality criteria throughout the entire software lifecycle, we use continuous integration systems such as Azure DevOps Server, GitLab, or Jenkins.

EQUIcon Success Stories

Software for Medical Technology

Medical device software requires the highest levels of quality, reliability, and regulatory compliance. For more than 20 years, EQUIcon has been providing development services for the design, implementation, documentation, and validation of software components for a wide range of medical devices, including systems for ophthalmic diagnostics and refractive surgery. Our customers benefit from our expertise in robust software architectures, flexible infrastructures, high-performance algorithms, and sophisticated graphical user interfaces. Working independently or as part of integrated development teams, we support our partners throughout the entire lifecycle, from requirements engineering and technical documentation to testing and validation.

Software for Electron Beam Lithography

For more than 30 years, EQUIcon has been developing software for electron beam lithography systems used worldwide in research and high-tech industries. With extensive expertise in equipment control, algorithm development, and high-performance software, EQUIcon makes a significant contribution to meeting the highest standards of precision, productivity, and reliability in micro- and nanostructuring applications. Long-standing cooperation with a leading manufacturer in this field underscores EQUIcon’s technological expertise and the trust it has earned as a development partner over decades.

Software for Archaeological Research

The Thuringian State Office for Heritage Management and Archaeology in Weimar uses an X-ray system to capture high-resolution images of archaeological finds for further scientific analysis.

The X-ray detector used was originally controlled by software included in the overall system. This software was actually designed for X-ray diagnostics and was rather unsuitable for the intended application. Therefore, the application was to be replaced by an in-house solution based on LabVIEW. We consequently developed a new software solution in 2022 for the relevant part of the device control. The implemented application components replaced insufficiently documented proprietary software parts and enable seamless integration into LabVIEW.

Software for Logistics

Together with the company LeanSped, we developed the transport management system of the same name and continue to expand it jointly.

LeanSped offers freight forwarding, transport and logistics companies comprehensive support, going beyond the classic functions. What makes the software special is that it was developed specifically for practical use and has been tested and optimised by freight forwarders over many years. Thanks to modern telematics interfaces, it simplifies shipment tracking and order entry via a user-friendly web portal. As the software developer, we advise customers, provide support and operations assistance, and implement new features.

Logistics Network Software

Since 2002, we have been developing the EQ-Sped platform together with the freight forwarding network ILN, now sim cargo GmbH. The solution supports the management and execution of groupage transport operations and connects several hundred partner locations across Europe.

Over more than two decades, the software has continuously evolved and has been adapted to new business requirements, technological developments, and regulatory changes. Today, it forms the digital backbone of the network’s business processes, from order entry and shipment tracking to clearing, invoicing, and the integration of external systems.

This long-standing collaboration exemplifies our commitment not only to developing custom software solutions, but also to continuously improving them together with our customers and adapting them to new requirements over many years.

Device Control

In order to operate reliably and without errors, the control of high-tech devices requires precise software solutions. With over 30 years of experience in this field, we develop tailor-made control software even for highly complex devices and processes. Our expertise covers the entire modelling of technological workflows and their implementation in safe and efficient programs.

Laboratory Automation

For modern laboratory environments, EQUIcon provides end-to-end automation services, covering all stages from requirements analysis and software development through to validation. Our solutions integrate laboratory instruments, user interfaces, databases, and web services into seamless, end-to-end systems that fit smoothly into existing infrastructures.

 

As a member of the SiLA Consortium, EQUIcon has many years of experience in implementing the SiLA standard for laboratory instrument integration.

For a wide range of devices used in laboratory automation, we offer SiLA Device Drivers for Windows-based systems. In addition, we develop custom SiLA Device Drivers for instruments for which no suitable implementation is yet available. Our drivers can be used in SiLA-compliant laboratory automation solutions from various vendors.
