PC Software Development

We'll turn your software ideas into reality. Whether you need a simple office macro or a full scale client/server system, we have the experience to develop the perfect solution. When you can't find a ready-made package to satisfy your particular requirements, you have to get it designed, built, tested, deployed and documented by experts in software development.

Production data collection systems
Using our experience in working with PLC systems, we have implemented several projects to collect production data, such as part counts, stoppage reasons and rejection analysis. This data can then be stored and use to generate historical report graphics.

Machine and process monitoring
Manufacturing machinery and processes need to be monitored for safety, efficiency and productivity. The real-time status of your plant can be displayed on graphical status screens and charts made available to any PC user in the organisation. We have developed such bespoke solutions for large international manufacturers.

Human/machine interfaces (HMIs)
The PC can play a vital role in a machine's control system. Although the PLC is still by far the better choice for safe and reliable automation of the machine process, the window on that process is best provided by graphical PC technology. The interface with the machine operator can be a two way experience, allowing equipment set up, recipe management and auxiliary control options.

Device and data communications
You may have a special device or item of equipment that needs to by integrated into your factory monitoring system. We have a great deal of experience in data communications and getting such devices connected and have developed DDE and OPC drivers for special situations.

Configuration Tools
When you have a special piece of equipment or a bespoke application that requires complex configuration, your job can be made much easier and quicker with a dedicated tool or wizard. We have constructed several special utilities for this purpose.

Office productivity, automation and utilities
For the business sector we develop macros, utilities and tools to make the basic office packages 'glue' together into unique business solutions.

Database design
Most software systems of any size include a database of some kind. If you get the design of the database wrong, then all the rest of the system rests on unsafe foundations. Let us help you think through the problem up front so you can get it right first time.

Web site construction
Web technology is now well known on the public Internet but have you considered how it might be used within your organisation as a collaboration tool or as an excellent way to implement a 'thin client' interface on the shop-floor or your machine control system?
