HMI solutions

Hardware, software and development services out of one hand

Four disciplines, one partner — from the first feasibility sketch to the quality processes that keep a released instrument compliant for a decade.

01 / Concept

Concept engineering

Take advantage of our free initial consultation and talk to us about your project or idea. Starting with the product idea, feasibility analysis, business plan, rapid prototyping, cost estimation and risks, up to detailed project plans.

02 / Hardware

Hardware engineering

In most cases ready-made hardware off the shelf is sufficient. If you need standards-compliant hardware, custom interfaces, hard real-time systems or other unique features, our experts take care of development and production.

03 / Software

Software engineering

Benefit from proven, stable software building blocks. Use our framework building blocks, operating system, application framework and GUI framework — implemented to your requirements, or together with your team.

04 / Lifecycle

Life cycle management

Solve the challenge of life cycle and quality management. We help implement the required processes inside your company, or run them as a service for you.

Unique collaboration model

CTOs experience reduced development time, cost and risk of IT projects

Reduce time

All our previous projects have been delivered in less than three months, very much to the satisfaction of our customers.

Reduce cost

90% of all functions are done. We just need to add the specific process of your equipment.

Reduce risk

Specifications can be minimal, since you see beforehand what you get in a fully working mockup.

Get a HMI very cost-effectively

No CAPEX

There is no upfront investment into licences. The project incurs no capital investment.

Low OPEX

Certos needs only minimal adaptation to your specific equipment. Typically 90% of the development work is already done — you incur only customisation cost.

Pay per sale

Licence cost only incurs as your product makes it into the market and generates sales for you.
