Team
Hybrid profiles: automation, IT and cybersecurity.
A connected industrial project rarely breaks in the middle of one discipline. It breaks at the border between the controller, the network and the software. Our engineers are used to working on all three fronts.
Software, data and web
- Web interfaces in React and Node.js
- REST API, WebSocket, MQTT SparkPlug B
- TimescaleDB and PostgreSQL databases, AWS and Azure cloud
- GitLab, testing, continuous delivery
Industrial cybersecurity
- Cyber Resilience Act, IEC 62443, NIS 2
- SBOM CycloneDX, component management
- RBAC, JWT, TLS 1.3, key management
- Signed plugins and updates
Why hybridization matters
A single contact from sensor to cloud.
When the automation engineer and the web developer talk every day, specifications are not lost along the way and security becomes part of the design instead of being added at the end.
- Fewer handovers between contractors
- A common language between plant, IT and security officer
- Security designed from the architecture up (Security by Design)
