IoT software development
IoT backend and frontend development for machine manufacturers and industrial applications
Agility, maintainability, data security, adaptability and scalability are decisive factors in the implementation of IIoT applications.
In order to keep pace with the rapid developments in Industry 4.0, software development is moving from rigid and monolithic structures to lean and agile microservices.
These perform clearly defined subtasks, are easily interchangeable and expandable and can drastically reduce time-to-market compared to complex, rigid and lengthy planned monoliths.

Development: Agile and test-driven
elunic develops software solutions for Industry 4.0. The applications are created in agile sprints and connect to existing systems via interfaces instead of replacing them. This reduces costs, shortens migration phases and focuses on new added value from day one. By using tried-and-tested services and libraries, we never start from scratch and can usually present prototypes within a very short time. This allows us to carry out a proof of concept at an early stage and translate practical findings directly into measures for further development. During the conception phase, we can draw on years of experience in industrial UI/UX design, enabling us to test and optimize concepts and modules at a particularly early stage.
Procedure
Short iteration loops during the designand development phase produce usable prototypes and representative results in the shortest possible time, which can be tested at an early stage.
In ongoing coordination meetings during daily scrums, sprint planning and sprint reviews, upcoming tasks and the next development steps are planned and prioritized together. This creates the opportunity to quickly adapt to new circumstances and challenges that may arise unexpectedly and at short notice.
elunic works with the latest technologies and cloud solutions for the realization of projects. We believe that a constant and open exchange throughout the project is crucial for success.
Testing
For a project with many iteration loops and changes, it is advisable to rely more on manual testing. This ensures that all project partners are involved in the quality process and that testing can be carried out independently of the expertise of software developers. Nevertheless, automated testing is an integral part and is absolutely necessary in a later project phase in order to ensure high quality despite increasing complexity.
Manual Testing
Manual tests can be used to quickly start a project and lay the foundation for quality assurance. The human factor is one of the most important components in the use of software, as only then can errors in usability, on different end devices and areas of application be identified.
Automatic testing
Automated tests deliver repeatable and reliable results in shorter test cycles. They support the provision of key performance indicators through integration into the deployment pipeline as a basis for ROI from test automation.
Cloud platform or on-premises?
Modern cloud platforms such as Amazon AWS or Microsoft Azure offer high scalability and data security at calculable costs. However, we also support companies that do not want to become dependent or build their own platforms in the development of on-premises applications.
Another option is cloud-to-cloud solutions: not every service requires unlimited scalability. For example, system-critical applications can be hosted in your own cloud and communicate with load-intensive services in the cloud platform.
