Software and hardware integration
When it comes to processing data from specific target hardware, such as a thermometer or any other measuring device, our software and hardware integration solutions provide maximum support for our partners. Whether it's a wastewater treatment system or an application to control a device used in agriculture, our innovative, integrated solutions help you to operate cost-effectively and automate processes in any industry.
What is software and hardware integration?
Basically, the system consists of four main components:
- Hardware - the device from which we want to extract data. For example, a thermometer, camera, robot, laser, scale or other measuring device.
- Sensor - the device that converts an analogue signal from hardware into digital data that can be processed by a computer.
- Connector (in technical terms, this is the "communication bus") - for transferring information between hardware and computer. The most common connectors are USB cables, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Ethernet connections.
- Software - the program that tells the hardware what to do, for example what measurements to take. It provides meaningful information to its users from the data it receives.
How can we help?
Our partners can also turn to us with confidence when they need software that can handle a small device or hundreds of pieces of hardware. We can build mobile, tablet, web or desktop applications that connect to each other or to your cloud infrastructure or local database. But that's only half the story. The system also needs a user-friendly interface to serve needs such as:
- a customizable user interface (UI) - whether uniformly defined or customizable per user - so that data extracted from hardware can be easily and quickly visualized.
- the ability to store large amounts of data securely - allowing data to be modified later.
- quick and easy reporting
- automatic alarms - which are triggered when scanned data falls outside certain limits.
If you're not sure what business application you need, we're happy to discuss your ideas and needs and help you find the optimal solution.

Technology and planning
As an official Microsoft Partner, we primarily use Microsoft products and tools to develop your applications.
Our products are delivered with ASP.NET or C# code. We also combine the latest technical platforms for the back-end, including Microsoft SQL Server or Web Services. We also have many years of experience in JavaScript and AJAX solutions for the interactivity of applications and websites, and we work on MySQL and Oracle systems on demand.
While we place great emphasis on prior needs assessment, we know that it is almost impossible to answer all functionality questions in advance. That's why we keep in close contact with our partners throughout the project and involve them in the testing process, so that the end result is truly useful and tailored to the user's needs.
Once the integrated system is ready
We won't leave our partners behind even after the project is finished. We take pride in what we deliver and want our customers to get the most out of the application, so:
- We provide user documentation in plain English and do not bore our partners with useless technical terminology.
- We offer full training for our applications, either at our clients' offices or at our premises in Budapest.
- We provide ongoing support on demand, with flat-rate support contracts and priority availability.
- We also provide hosting services for our applications on request. We've invested heavily in building a secure, scalable and lightning-fast infrastructure that provides adequate protection against potential cybersecurity risks.
