Case studies
Explore examples of bespoke software and automation developed for business, scientific and industrial applications — from workflow automation and data processing to specialist instrumentation, real-time visualisation and long-lived engineering systems.
Spectrometer integration
Challenge
Specialist heat-treatment systems relied upon spectroscopic measurements of plasma conditions.
Solution
Bespoke software acquired and visualised live spectral data, provided interactive wavelength cursors and supplied relevant measurements to PLC-based process-control systems.
Capabilities: Real-time acquisition · Spectrum visualisation · Scientific instrumentation · PLC communication · Industrial automation
Multi-generation hardware modernisation
Challenge
Evolution of an established application from a single-instrument architecture to support dual spectrometers.
Solution
The software was adapted while maintaining support for different generations of spectrometer hardware introduced over many years. This allowed existing installations to continue operating while newer hardware and additional measurement capability were introduced.
Capabilities: Hardware migration · Multi-device architecture · Backwards compatibility · Legacy software modernisation
Transforming Excel and Outlook Workflows with Advanced Automation
Challenge
Business users needed access to data held across other internal systems. Retrieving that information previously relied on manual copy-and-paste processes or separate system-specific tools.
Solution
Bespoke Microsoft Office add-ins were developed for Excel and Outlook, allowing users to retrieve data directly from on-premises and cloud-based systems. The information could then be formatted automatically for use within spreadsheets or prepared as ready-to-send email content.
Capabilities: Excel automation · Data processing · Validation · Automated Email generation · Business workflow automation · Cloud-based API access using OData over REST.
