Create Apps for Capturing, Visualizing, and Integrating Production and Machine Data, In-House.
With the App Builder, you can reduce the development costs of custom software by up to 80% as a manufacturing company, machine builder, or integrator. The development of apps requires no programming knowledge, allowing you to create your own software in a fraction of the usual time.
In great company
Manufacturers and machine builders use Heisenware to digitize their production and products.
No code needed to build custom software solutions
Discover what you can achieve with your production data using the App Builder.
Capture
Collect data via input forms, APIs, industrial protocols, and interfaces.
Store
Secure time series and relational data in the built-in databases.
Visualize
Use a variety of visualization elements and adapt them for any device.
Process
Transform data any way you need to fit your application.
Integrate
Make data available for legacy systems and external databases.
Customize
Choose colors and appearance to brand your apps.
Collect production data from machines, systems, files, and users
With integrated connectors and the Heisenware Edge Connector, you can gather data from any conceivable data sources in production and machines, automatically transferring it to the cloud. Of course, you can also write data to systems.
Customizable input forms also allow for manual data collection by employees on smartphones, tablets, and PCs.
Build custom logic for data processing in your apps
Pre-built no-code function blocks and code-customizable modifiers allow you to process data precisely according to your requirements. You can connect the blocks to each other using drag-and-drop.
We rely on proven concepts of software development—without the need for you to master a programming language.
Save time series and relational data in the backend of your apps
Each Heisenware workspace comes equipped with an SQL database, an InfluxDB and an Industrial Blockchain. With the time series data recorder and simple function blocks for creating, reading, updating, and deleting SQL database entries, you have all the capabilities of classic software development, but you can reach your goals much faster.
Provide production data for individual legacy systems, MES, and ERP
With the Edge Connector and the Code Adapter, production data can be seamlessly integrated into older legacy systems that do not have an appropriate interface. This allows you to incorporate existing systems without having to replace them.
Of course, more modern systems with REST API, MQTT, or OPC UA interfaces can also be integrated effortlessly, regardless of whether they are accessible over the internet or only locally.
Use a large variety of components to display data on any device
Visualize production and machine data with a continually growing selection of components, including charts, gauges, Kanban boards, lists, tables, progress bars, and status lights. With drag-and-drop functionality, you can easily connect your processing logic to the components in the frontend.
Since Heisenware creates Progressive Web Apps (PWAs), they can be automatically installed on all devices. This means you only have to develop once and can freely customize the user interface for any screen.
Ensure recognition with company colors and a customized appearance
In addition to the option of placing your company logo in the user interface of your apps, you can customize the entire look and colors of your apps with just a few clicks.
Decide whether your app should have a dark or light theme, or a classic or modern design. This ensures that users—whether they are your employees or customers—will easily recognize your brand.
What our users say
With Heisenware, manufacturing companies and machine builders from all industries can drive digitalization in-house.
Collaborating with Heisenware for production data collection is focused and straightforward. The dashboard for our CNC machining center was created quickly thanks to the App Builder.
Thanks to the connector and the Heisenware app, we can collect data from machines in the field and generate digital alerts. This allows us to improve our processes in customer service.
In no time, we were able to create a dashboard that displays production data in real time. The connection was made via OPC UA. Additionally, we have the capability to expand the solution ourselves.
From idea to app operation on a single platform
1. Low-code development
Use the App Builder to develop custom software applications quickly and without coding
2. Integrated testing
Test your apps anytime in the App Builder and in the published version. If you’re missing data, you can easily simulate it.
3. Publishing and operation
Easily share access to the app with users via QR code or URL. Heisenware takes care of hosting and operation, so you don’t have to worry about anything else.

Any questions?
Here you can find answers to frequently asked questions.
What does low-code mean and what are its advantages?
Instead of writing code, you can configure software components into new logic and create user interfaces with pre-made elements. This saves time and costs while ensuring transparency in development.
Can older machines and devices be connected?
We support a wide range of interfaces, including for older machine controls. If we don’t have a suitable connector in our portfolio, we usually find alternative ways to collect data. It's definitely worth having a conversation about it
Can the apps be hosted and managed after development?
Yes, it is possible. With Heisenware, the entire effort for hosting and managing the apps is eliminated. Learn more about management on the App Manager page.
Can access to the apps be restricted?
Yes, in the App Manager, you can set who has access to your apps and in what way. You can choose whether the apps are freely available, password-protected, require a login, or if access is only possible through an invitation.
Is our data safe with Heisenware?
We work with the latest security standards and exclusively use GDPR-compliant servers in Germany from our cloud partner, Hetzner. If desired, Heisenware can also be hosted completely on-premises.
