Your development partner in mechanical engineering and plant construction
Software endows machines with intelligence: It connects mechanics and electronics into a high-performance system. We help you seamlessly integrate these disciplines – compliant with standards, scalable, and technology-agnostic. From concept to implementation – with our know-how in the fields of system architecture, software development, automation and cyber security, we create robust, cutting-edge solutions.
Development support for intelligent machines and systems
Modern machines are more than just mechanical devices – they’re complex, interconnected systems with high requirements in terms of software, safety and integration. We help our customers actively drive this transformation through innovative system development, intelligent automation, secure cloud and AI architectures, and agile support exactly where they need it. Whether retrofitting or developing from scratch, we combine our mechanical engineering expertise with digital excellence.
Our services for mechanical engineering and plant construction
Standard-compliant system development and cyber security
Machinery and systems must not only perform at a high level but also remain safe and legally compliant. Whether it’s the EU Machinery Directive, the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), or Radio Equipment Directive (RED), we support you every step of the way – from requirements analysis to technical implementation.
Cyber security engineering for connected machines (e.g. in accordance with IEC 62443, ISO/SAE 21434)
Consulting on standards and regulatory requirements: CE, Machinery Directive, Data Act, CRA
Security concepts for embedded and IoT systems
Threat and risk assessments at early stages of development
Intelligent automation and system evolution
We develop tailored software solutions and automation concepts for machines – covering everything from control systems to intuitive operation, automation and robotics:
Development of custom control software and secure automation solutions
Integration of intelligent components (sensors, actuators, motion control)
Modular architectures for machine control units and operating concepts (HMI)
Software modernization of existing systems (e.g. for retrofit projects)
Making Industry 4.0 and connected machines a reality
From a single machine to a connected system: We provide support for the architecture, cloud connectivity, communication security and system integration – all tailored to your machinery setup and industry-specific requirements.

Model-based development and rapid prototyping
Scalable project support with agile methods (e.g. Scrum, Kanban)
System understanding across disciplinary boundaries (mechanical engineering, electronics, software)
Sustainability and energy efficiency
The pressure to make machines and systems more sustainable is increasing – both from regulatory and economic perspectives. We support you in translating ecological goals into concrete technical solutions.
Digital Product Passport (DPP): Development of digital product passports integrating Environmental Product Declarations (EPD), data on carbon footprint, energy goals, and CE-relevant information – linked with EU Eco-design data and automatically updated through sensor data.
Eco-design Compliance and Reporting: Tools for checking key performance parameters such as energy efficiency and total cost of ownership (TCO) according to EU regulation, as well as support for reporting obligations using validation and audit processes.
Carbon Footprint (PCF) modeling and calculation based on real operating data – also in combination with digital twin solutions.
Energy Optimization: Intelligent monitoring via IoT sensor technology – for example, for predictive maintenance or leak detection – supplemented by simulations to optimize energy flows and reduce peak loads, assessment and enhancement of energy efficiency based on energy efficiency performance indicators (ENPIs)
Digital, connected, efficient: software and system solutions for your own manufacturing processes
It’s not just your machines that need to impress – your production processes should also become more efficient, flexible, and robust? We support you in digitalizing and optimizing manufacturing processes. Whether it is intelligent production control, machine and plant connectivity, or automated test systems, we leverage deep methodological expertise in system development and an in-depth understanding of mechanical engineering requirements to implement lean, future-proof solutions – be it for individual interfaces or complex software projects.
Greater connectivity, higher risk: Manufacturing environments grow increasingly vulnerable as ever more machines and systems get connected. On top of that, legislators continue to tighten cyber security regulations for systems and products equipped with digital components. Count on us to help you steer clear of threats and compliance issues. We are the partner of choice for pragmatic solutions tailored to match your risks.

Exclusive Whitepaper
Data Governance on the rise: The Data Act as a chance
The Data Act transforms how companies must – and are allowed to – handle data from “connected products” and “connected services”. And he emphasizes: data governance is no longer optional but an organizational obligation, as data has become a key competitive factor. In this white paper, ITK Engineering and the law firm SKW Schwarz outline the requirements set by the Data Act and how data governance aligns strategic data utilization with compliance.
