Before changing any hardware or software, we back up the current status. By using industrial gateways or sandboxing, we isolate outdated operating systems (e.g., Windows XP/7) from direct network access. This allows us to prevent cyber risks while the system continues to run without any code changes.

We break the link between old software and dying hardware. Through virtualization (physical-to-virtual), your applications are moved to modern, redundant server clusters.

The result: your legacy software “thinks” it is running on the old machine, but benefits from the reliability and backup strategies of a modern data center.

Once the system is running stably in a modern environment, we make the “black box” transparent. We use reverse engineering to create interfaces that make legacy data usable for modern analysis tools (BI) or higher-level cloud systems—without affecting the validated core logic of the control system.

Many older systems communicate using manufacturer-specific protocols that are no longer supported today. We analyze the data traffic on the line, identify the underlying structures, and develop modern “interpreter” interfaces to make this data usable for your current IT environment.

If the source code for a control system or industrial PC is no longer available, we reconstruct the functional processes through targeted system analysis. This enables us to transfer the original intelligence of the system into modern programming languages or to add functional enhancements to the existing hardware.

We create detailed technical documentation of your existing systems based on their actual system status. This is particularly crucial in regulated industries (GxP) to ensure the compliance and auditability of your systems even after decades of operation.

We “listen in” on the systems during operation to record communication patterns and logic sequences without interfering with the process.

We use specialized tools to identify data structures, variables, and dependencies within the legacy software.

The findings are translated into a readable format (e.g., pseudocode or function plans), which serves as a new basis for documentation.

Based on the reconstruction, we implement modern interfaces (APIs) or prepare for migration to a new generation of hardware.

We design and implement secure network architectures based on the “defense-in-depth” principle. By physically and logically segmenting your OT landscape into security zones, we prevent threats from spreading uncontrollably within your network (lateral movement).

We establish controlled access routes for internal employees and external service providers. By using encrypted VPN tunnels, multi-factor authentication (MFA), and granular authorization management, we ensure that only authorized persons have access to critical control systems.

We harden your industrial PCs, servers, and gateways against attacks. This includes deactivating unnecessary services, managing USB interfaces, and implementing specialized monitoring solutions that detect anomalies in field-level data traffic at an early stage.

We handle the physical transfer of your historical and current process data. To do this, we develop automated migration pipelines that extract data from old SQL databases, proprietary historians, or flat file structures, clean it up, and transfer it in a structured way to the new target environment.

We manage the critical moment of transition. By setting up parallel infrastructures, we ensure that the new system receives validated data while the legacy system is still controlling production. This enables low-risk “shadow operation” before the final cutover.

After migration, we perform comprehensive integrity checks. We ensure that all data points have been mapped correctly and that the new system environment meets the functional requirements of your production (and any regulatory requirements such as GxP) 100%.

We don't just design, we log in, analyze the code, and solve the problem.

Whether C++, Python, SQL, or complex network topologies – we have mastered the tools needed to build highly available systems.

We are familiar with the requirements of the pharmaceutical, chemical, gas, oil, and other regulated industries, and we know that “availability” in OT is not an option but a requirement.

We are not afraid of old systems. We see them as valuable assets that we are preserving for the future.
