Our approach
Customized, without having to start from scratch every time.
A ready-made IoT platform is available quickly—but it reaches its limits when products, hardware, processes, or user interfaces become customized.
A fully customized development project offers this freedom—but often entails high costs, long project timelines, and development risks that are difficult to quantify.
KNEXUS combines the advantages of both approaches.

Development Process
From your idea to a fully functional IoT system
KNEXUS verbindet Anforderungserfassung, kundenspezifische Hardware, Embedded Software, Edge Computing, Backend und Frontend in einem standardisierten Entwicklungsprozess.
- Goal: Fast time-to-market, from requirements to production
01 ANALYSIS Defining Requirements Together
A personalized and streamlined requirements-gathering process helps to systematically document features, hardware, user groups, and workflows. Instead of a voluminous requirements document, this approach fosters a shared understanding of the solution early on.
02 CLICKDUMMY See it before it's developed
Aus den Anforderungen erstellen wir innerhalb weniger Tage einen interaktiven Clickdummy. Sie testen Bedienkonzept, Funktionen und Workflows, bevor die eigentliche Entwicklung beginnt. Parallel definieren wir die benötigte Hardware.
03 OFFER The solution and price have been finalized
Clickdummy und Hardware-Spezifikation bilden eine klare Grundlage für die Umsetzung. Nach Ihrer Freigabe erhalten Sie ein verbindliches Festpreisangebot. Keine offene Entwicklungsrechnung. Keine versteckten Kosten.
04 SPRINT 80% standard, 20% customized
Die vorhandene KNEXUS Plattform bildet die technische Basis. Nur die Bestandteile, die Ihre Anwendung tatsächlich unterscheiden, werden individuell konfiguriert.
05 GO-LIVE A system goes live
Hardware, Firmware, Edge, Backend, Cloud und Frontend werden als Gesamtsystem umgesetzt, getestet und in Betrieb genommen.
