Devices for the 'Mittelstand'
Industry &
Automation
Industrial and automation systems require durable and secure electronic solutions. Control and measurement systems must not only operate reliably but also meet high safety standards. This is especially critical due to their close integration with industrial OT environments.

PICKPLACE develops electronics for industrial control systems, connected edge devices, and safety-critical applications in automation technology. Our solutions meet the demands for functional safety, real-time capability, and resilience in harsh environments.
One key trend— edge computing —enables real-time data processing at the source, reducing latency and increasing system reliability. To support this, computing platforms must be designed with real-time performance and robustness in mind.

PICKPLACE – Platform and Porting Specialist
In industrial environments, long-lasting systems are the norm—but hardware generations evolve, software must be adapted, and new requirements make migrations unavoidable.
PICKPLACE specializes in the porting of industrial software and embedded systems, ensuring existing solutions continue to operate on new platforms without compromising functionality or safety.
Porting embedded software to new processor architectures, operating systems, or industrial platforms requires deep understanding of hardware, drivers, interfaces, and real-time constraints. Beyond pure software porting, we also support integration with modern industrial platforms and communication standards—ensuring legacy systems remain fit for the future.

-
Migration to new processor architectures (ARM, RISC-V, x86)
-
Migration to real-time operating systems (FreeRTOS, VxWorks, QNX, Embedded Linux)
-
Modernization of legacy codebases (Assembly, C, C++)
-
Ensuring functional safety and cybersecurity during migration
-
Integration of industrial communication protocols (IO-Link, EtherCAT, Modbus, CANopen)
-
Cross-platform software architectures for edge and cloud connectivity
-
Adaptation to new toolchains and development environments
