Transform Software Development for Industrial Automation

Automation is happening fast. From industrial and service automation down to the Internet of Things and smart cities, more and more types of devices need to interoperate using the highest standards of reliability, resiliency and functional safety—while offering a familiar, intuitive and immediate user experience, like that of mobile phones. 

Let us show you a way through this jungle of devices, embedded technologies and interoperability protocols that will allow you to create effective, connected UI applications while reducing costs and time-to-market.

Qt for WebAssembly

Qt for WebAssembly makes it possible to run Qt applications on many web browsers, without any download steps or special server requirements.

Tailor-Made for Automation

No matter the project, Qt can handle them all – and save you time and money in the process!

Scale Up, Scale Down, Save Money

Create software for anything from high-performance workstations down to the lowest-end MCUs. Qt reduces your BOM by minimizing your software's footprint, as well as memory and power consumption – without sacrificing performance!

A Superior UX for your HMI solution

Qt offers you a multitude of options for creating your UI, from intuitive touch-optimized controls to gorgeous 3D effects.

Faster Iterations, Faster Time-To-Market

Qt provides seperation of UI and backend development. Developers and designers can work together on the same code base, which lets you iterate faster towards your final product.

95% less development time?

"It was quite amazing for us to see that we were able to cut down the development time from 1000 - 1300 hrs to 50 hrs by being able to allow all developers and customers to work on the same IDE"
- Rune Volden, R&D Manager, Ulstein Power & Control
