Progressive digitization in mechanical and plant engineering offers great opportunities, but also poses challenges. By using IoT, big data, machine learning and Industry 4.0 concepts, companies can increase efficiency, improve product quality and open up new business opportunities.
However, the shortage of skilled workers and know-how in the area of software development and digital transformation is often a stumbling block on the way to becoming a competitive, future-oriented company. To do this, you need a partner on equal footing who works with you to make processes faster and more efficient. Talk to us about customized software solutions and benefit from our expertise in individual web and mobile application development.

The collaboration with the Objectbay team worked very well and we are absolutely satisfied with the result! The project implementation went smoothly, the agile approach was also very helpful to us and the communication throughout the project was excellent. The developed application has become an integral part of our daily business!
Our development teams are at the heart of our services — Scrum certified, technically up-to-date and autonomous.
Java, JavaScript or Python — our developers can speak just about any language.
The Scrum approach gives you flexibility, control and 100% transparency over development.
Machine builders use a variety of software tools that are used at various stages of the development process and production. Here are some of the common types of software used by engineering companies: CAD software, CAM software, CAE software, PLM software, ERP software, SCADA systems, simulation and emulation, data management software, IoT platforms.
The choice of software depends on the specific requirements, budget and preferences of the engineering company. Multiple software solutions are often integrated to seamlessly support the entire production process.
The selection of software depends heavily on the specific requirements, the type of projects, the available budget and individual preferences. As a result, it is not possible to say which software is the best for mechanical engineering companies. However, there are several leading software solutions/manufacturers that are widely used and respected in this industry, such as SolidWorks, CATIA, PTC, Rockwell, Dassault Sytemes or SAP. It is advisable to familiarize yourself with individual needs and, if necessary, consider trial versions or demos of the software in order to find the most suitable solution for a particular engineering company.
There are international standards that should be considered when developing software for machine manufacturers. Here are a few relevant standards:
It is important to note that the applicability of certain standards may vary depending on the type of software and the specific requirements of the engineering company. Developers and engineers should review the relevant standards for their specific application and region to ensure that their software meets the required standards.
There are various norms and standards that relate to the security of software and systems, particularly in the context of mechanical engineering companies. Here are a few relevant standards:
This series of standards defines requirements and guidelines for the safety of automation and control systems in industrial environments, including software.
It is important to note that the applicability of certain standards may vary depending on the type of software, the specific application, and regulatory requirements in a region. It is therefore advisable to check the relevant standards for each application and to ensure that the developed software meets the required safety standards.
Objectbay offers machine builders individual digital solutions that are tailored to their specific needs.
