Digital solutions for manufacturing – across nine industries.
Digital solutions for manufacturing: we connect PLCs, control systems and field protocols, bring plant and machine data together and optimise plants and processes. Development follows your requirements, with interfaces to the MES, ERP, SCADA and historian systems you already run.

We develop to your requirements.
Every plant has grown differently. So we do not ship a finished product. For us, software development for manufacturing means one thing: software for your operation – from connecting the control system through to the analysis you actually need.
Connecting control systems
PLCs, control systems and field devices – over OPC UA, PROFINET, Modbus TCP, BACnet or telecontrol protocols. Including where an older plant brings no open interface of its own.Optimising plants and processes
From your data we calculate what can be improved: cycle times and bottlenecks, availability, energy and changeover times – with the indicators that matter in your operation.Integrating with your systems
Interfaces to the MES, ERP, SCADA and the historian. Results land where your operation already works – not in yet another isolated tool.
Where it helps, we build on our own components.
What we develop – and what stays with you.
Several of the nine sectors work under regulatory requirements. There we develop the software for the data and documentation work – validation, approval and plant safety stay with you.
ralwo is not certified, validated or accredited for anything: no GMP-validated system out of the box, no ATEX approval, no accreditation as a testing body. Where a validation, an approval or a test certificate is required, it does not come from ralwo.
What we develop there is the data work underneath: extraction with source and confidence, traceable data paths from the measuring point to the report, plus exports, specifications, interface descriptions and test data that feed into your own qualification and evidence documentation. Assessment and release stay with your own specialists.
- Validation and qualification
- Explosion protection and plant safety
- Release of the results
Validation, qualification and explosion protection remain the responsibility of the operator.
From the initial consultation to operation.
Four phases with clear time frames. After each phase you decide whether and how to continue.
01 Free initial consultation
approx. 30 minWe clarify goals, data situation and feasibility – by phone or video call.
- Goals and the question at hand
- Data situation and existing systems
- Feasibility and next steps
02 Analysis & concept
1–2 weeksWe review your data sources, design the architecture and submit a proposal.
- Data sources and interfaces
- Architecture and data flow
- Proposal at a fixed price or time and materials
03 Implementation
2-week cyclesWe develop in short cycles, integrate with your existing systems and test with your data.
- Integration with PLC, MES and ERP
- Tests with your data
- Acceptance after every cycle
04 Operation & development
ongoingWe run the solution if you wish, and develop it further together with your operation.
- Monitoring and maintenance
- Support and training
- Further development as required
Every phase ends with a decision that you make.
Free · No obligation · approx. 30 minutes
