Shaping the future of machine communication
OPC UA (Open Platform Communications Unified Architecture) provides a uniform, standardized interface for industrial communication. Thanks to its flexibility and interoperability, it enables companies to seamlessly and securely connect their machines — across manufacturers and systems.
How does that work? Industry-leading companies design the flexible data models with which every device in the corporate network describes itself. In this way, all network participants know which data is available, in which format and which functions a device can perform. It is even possible to configure complex work orders. Thanks to the specialized companion specifications, you can rely on a guaranteed range of interface functions. As an Alsumi member, we support the industry-wide standardization of data models. As members of OPC working groups for robotics and Cranes & Hoist, we are actively promoting standards.
With our lightweight software stack for embedded systems, we let even the smallest devices speak the powerful protocol.
The key technology for reliable and efficient data storage in industry.
Store & Forward stands for secure caching of your critical production and process data so that your logs and analysis are based on seamless data. They enable precise tracking of production processes and contribute to optimising efficiency.
Unstable connections to devices in the field? With OPC UA Historizing, your machines store the data directly on the device until it is completely transferred — consistently, in compliance with standards and securely.
data management
of the machine variants successfully made OPC UA compatible. Consistent, secure, and efficient for the entire fleet of devices.
Future-proof
OPC UA is spoken of now and in the future — we save you the development effort.
Innovative solutions for tomorrow's industry
From microcontrollers to industrial PCs: We breathe life into your machines — with Linux, FreeRTOS, Zephyr or on bare metal. According to your requirements and safely through standards such as MISRA C.

Frequently asked questions
Does Adaept Engineering offer internships or working student positions?
Yes, we offer internships and working student positions. Since 2015, we have gained extensive experience in mentoring students. In our many years of work as research engineers at the University of Rostock, we have supervised numerous bachelor and master theses and successfully accompanied our students to their defense. Students who would like to write their thesis at Adaept Engineering are welcome to join us.
How do you calculate your prices?
We calculate our prices using two pricing models to meet the different needs of our customers. In classic project work, we work at an hourly rate and create an individual offer based on the specific requirements of the project. Alternatively, we offer our software for devices and machines via a licensing model, which is available either as a lifetime license or with annual billing.
What information do you need to start a project?
At the start of a project, we need specific information in order to be able to offer tailor-made solutions. If a plant operator wants to upgrade existing machines with modern IT interfaces, we need the technical documentation of the existing fieldbus interfaces. For device and machine manufacturers who want to equip their products with modern interfaces, it is important to tell us their current level of technical development, including the selection of microcontrollers, the PLCs used and the technical requirements.
What is the time frame for an average project?
The time frame for an average project varies depending on technical requirements. In our specialist areas, such as industrial communication, we can usually shorten the implementation period from the original 12 months to up to 3 months. This is made possible by our efficient processes and proven methods.
How do you structure communication and reporting during the project?
During a project, we attach great importance to transparent communication and regular reporting. We organize regular project meetings with our customers to inform about progress and interim results and to ensure that everyone involved is always up to date.
Where is your location and in which regions does she work?
Our location is in Rostock, Germany. We implement industrial projects both in Germany and throughout Europe. We are present at trade fairs and conferences all over the world, and our partner network extends all the way to South Korea.
How does Adaept Engineering differ from other engineering service providers?
Adaept Engineering stands out from other engineering service providers through a comprehensive approach to integrating OPC UA into our customers' products and systems. We guide you through the entire process — from data modeling and standardization to implementation and final testing. Our particular expertise lies in implementing OPC UA on microcontrollers. In addition, we initiate and manage industrial research projects to develop and implement innovative use cases together with our customers.
