Provide functions at the place of use
Devices and operating sequences determine the application.
The application has to
work at the workplace.
Desktop and mobile applications bring technical information directly to the place of work.
Conditions at the machine differ from those at an office desk: a changing connection, small displays or connected devices affect the operation. At the same time, data should not have to be entered again and permissions should remain in place. For a usable application, interface, connections and operating conditions have to be planned together. Distribution, updating and support are part of the development as well.
IQstruct Engineering develops functional industrial apps and desktop applications. Mobile applications for Android and iOS can complement backend and web projects and include push notifications. C# and .NET are used for desktop solutions; Flutter complements native mobile development.
Start now at no cost
In a free first conversation we clarify what the application needs at the device, whether it has to work without a connection and which systems it reaches.
Scope of services
Keep using existing services
Apps are connected with the APIs and data sources of the overall solution.
Manage technical information in a structured way
Industrial support applications connect data storage and specific work tasks.
The application where the work is done
IQstruct Engineering develops functional industrial apps and desktop applications.
Mobile applications for Android and iOS complement backend and web projects and bring existing functions to the place of use, with push notifications on request. Whether native development or Flutter fits depends on the application and the device environment.
C# and .NET form the technical basis for industrial desktop tools. Data access is coordinated with the interfaces and permissions of the overall system. One example is a standalone tool management system in which measurement reports and settings are stored.
Desktop and mobile
Data and functions reach the workplace
Apps and desktop tools use the same services as the rest of the solution.
Approach in the project
Ai1
Plan the software architecture
Components, interfaces and data paths are defined in an architecture diagram.
Ai2
Develop and test
Code, automated tests and reviews are created together.
Ai3
Use desktop and app
Windows application and mobile view access the same services.
Ai4
Update the software
Library changes, security updates and versions are checked and applied.
Platforms
Android and iOS
Native development for smartphones and tablets.
Flutter
Cross-platform apps with a shared code base.
C# and .NET
Desktop tools for industrial workplaces.
Project experience
Industrial procedures implemented in software
Route cards and technical information are kept in applications instead of on paper.
IQstruct Engineering has digitised a route card procedure that was previously handwritten and developed a tool management system for measurement records and settings. Applications like these connect the technical task with structured data storage. Interfaces and operation have to match so that information stays available within the workflow. This experience complements the development of our own products such as Aurora, in which data acquisition, processing and a web interface come together.
Frequently asked questions
We are glad to answer your detailed questions in a personal conversation.
Does every application also work offline?
We agree offline synchronisation per project, to suit the place of use and the data required.
Which operating systems are supported?
Android and iOS for mobile applications; we define the desktop platform with you.
Can existing services still be used?
Yes. Apps are connected with the APIs and data sources of your existing solution.
