Custom industrial software projects create endless overhead

Automation and software engineers lose too much time hunting for maintained Node-RED nodes, writing middleware, and setting up infrastructure. It is time to focus on the actual solution.

Status quo

The fragmented DIY stack

❌ Writing fragile custom scripts to bridge protocols and databases.

❌ Spending days configuring servers, access control, and responsive layouts.

❌ Creating undocumented architectures that become a bottleneck quickly. 

With Heisenware

The standardized industrial stack 

 ✅ Native connectivity for industrial protocols, databases, IT systems, and APIs.

✅ A drag-and-drop builder with user management and instant deployment.

✅ A single, documented standard that anyone on your team can maintain. 

From raw industrial data to live shopfloor applications in minutes

Heisenware is the industrial low-code platform that streamlines your entire engineering workflow. It removes the friction from development, giving your team a direct, seamless path from the physical asset straight to the end user.

Connect

Securely bridge the gap between OT and IT

Tap into isolated shopfloor networks natively using out-of-the-box drivers for OPC UA, Siemens S7, SQL, and Zebra RFID hardware paired with lightweight Edge Agents. This eliminates fragile integration scripts and complex IT firewall reconfigurations, giving you instant access to your data.

Build

Create full-stack applications in one visual workspace

Assemble responsive user interfaces and backend logic simultaneously inside a single, visual drag-and-drop environment without the usual separation of frontend and backend. By replacing raw code with a unified visual standard, any engineer on your team can instantly understand, modify, and support the application.

Deploy

Go live instantly via URL without the IT bottleneck 

Launch production-ready applications to any factory tablet, smartphone, or desktop with a single click, automatically generated as PWAs with integrated user management. Your solution is live and accessible immediately via a secure URL, completely bypassing manual server setups or waiting for IT Docker environments.

RFID

RFID-based, automated asset & tool tracking

Track and locate tools, equipment, and materials instantly across your site or in the field. Build responsive apps for Zebra handhelds or fixed RFID readers to know exactly who has what and where it was left.

workflow

Digital workflow apps & ERP interfaces

Eliminate paper checklists and bridge the gap between shopfloor and IT. Create tailored web applications for QA, maintenance, and shift logs that sync bi-directionally with your existing ERP and database systems. 

Real-world validation from the factory floor and beyond

Don’t take our word for it. Read what automation and OT engineers say about replacing fragile custom setups with a reliable standard.

In a very short time, we created a dashboard that displays production data in real-time. Thanks to the existing connectors, we could visualize relevant data without extensive programming knowledge.

Frequently asked questions

How do I connect to machines in an isolated network?

You do not need to open any inbound firewall ports. Our lightweight Edge Agent runs locally inside your OT network, securely buffers data, and tunnels it outbound via MQTTS (Port 8883) to the Heisenware platform. It can be deployed as a native binary or a Docker container.

Where is the data stored, and can we self-host on-premise?

By default, data is stored securely and GDPR-compliant in the EU via Hetzner Online Cloud. However, if you require strict data sovereignty or operate under strict IT security guidelines, you can self-host the entire Heisenware platform on-premise or within your private cloud infrastructure using Docker. 

Can Heisenware run completely offline on an isolated device on the shopfloor?

Yes. If you need to deploy applications on standalone machines or air-gapped industrial PCs without any internet connectivity, Heisenware can run entirely locally. We regularly verify and adapt to specific shopfloor hardware requirements to ensure reliable offline operations.  

It looks a bit like Node-RED. Can I use my existing knowledge?

Absolutely. If you are familiar with flow-based programming, you will feel right at home. The key difference is that Heisenware is a fully integrated full-stack platform. We provide the missing enterprise pieces out of the box: a native responsive UI builder, integrated databases, and user access management so you can deploy production-ready applications, not just prototypes.  

What if I need custom logic beyond the standard visual blocks?

You still have full code-level flexibility when you need it. You can write JavaScript expressions or JSONata directly within the data flows. For complex legacy logic, you can wrap external code into custom function blocks using our Code Adapter, making it available as a reusable visual module for your entire team.

Can I export my apps, and do you generate raw code?

Heisenware intentionally does not generate raw source code, which is exactly why your applications remain completely maintenance-free and never turn into legacy debt. Instead, you can export your entire app as a standardized configuration file and import it into another account or instance. This allows you to easily build staging environments or deploy updates to offline systems.

We lack the resources or time to build apps ourselves. Can you develop them for us?

Yes, absolutely. If your internal capacities are tight, we’ve got you covered. We can either support you directly to get your project up and running quickly, or hand it over to an experienced implementation partner from our system integrator network. The best part: you get a turnkey solution that you can easily expand or maintain yourself later, thanks to the low-code standard.
