Sustainable production through retrofit — a conversation with Dr. Arne Wall from Adaept Engineering
An old but reliable overhead crane still lifts loads weighing tons every day. His biggest deficit: He doesn't “talk” to the new, digitized processes in the production hall. Does that really mean that a completely new crane has to be purchased? No — says Dr. Arne Wall, co-founder of Adaept Engineering. In the latest Transformation Academy podcast, he explains how retrofitting not only avoids costly new purchases, but also becomes a real lever for sustainability.

From plant to algorithm: Adaept Engineering at the German-Latvian Business Day 2025
On September 26, 2025, more than 300 decision makers from politics, business and science met for the German-Latvian Business Day at HanseMesse Rostock. For Adaept Engineering, it was a home game with international appeal and an ideal stage to show how standardized machine data lay the foundation for joint innovations between Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and Latvia.
Performance of open62541 OPC UA servers on embedded hardware
While OPC UA has long been considered the backbone of modern automation in Industry 4.0, the integration of this technology into real microcontroller systems remains the exception. The reason for this lies in an unfortunate combination of severe resource limitations, high timing requirements, and the still limited availability of lean, fully standards-compliant implementations. Many developers therefore still resort to MQTT & Co. with less structured data formats as soon as RAM budgets in the single-digit megabyte range and clock frequencies below 250 MHz come into play.
Website relaunch: more modern, clearer, more comprehensive
We have redesigned our website. The aim was to present Adaept Engineering's services in a more modern way, to sharpen our communication and to present our range of services more comprehensively.
OPC UA even for very small devices
Industrial communication is in the midst of rapid change: With OPC UA (Open Platform Communications Unified Architecture), a universal, vendor-independent standard is available that ensures seamless data exchange from the field level to the cloud. The focus is increasingly on the question of how OPC UA can also be implemented on small, resource-limited embedded devices to enable new IIoT applications and Industry 4.0 scenarios.
Three events within two days with around 650 prominent guests from business and politics!
Last week, we from Adaept Engineering had the honor of taking part in the impressive “Business meets Hanse Sail 2025" event in Rostock. This event provided a unique platform to discuss the future of the hydrogen economy with business representatives and politicians from Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania
