SIMPLIFY COMPLEX WORK PROCESSES.
How ITK enables intuitive control and management of laboratory equipment.
How to efficiently monitor a multitude of devices with complex functions? ITK has developed a customer-specific software solution for laboratory equipment that enables the intuitive management and execution of measurement and control tasks in a modular user interface.
SIMPLIFY COMPLEX WORK PROCESSES.
User-friendly and intuitive – ITK Engineering has developed a new device management software solution for a laboratory equipment manufacturer to control connected devices for applications in scientific and industrial laboratories. The user interface provides a quick overview of all connected devices and their measured values in real time. Devices can be configured remotely and inconsistencies can be quickly located and corrected. The analysis tool documents and exports all data at the push of a button.
Our solution:
- Connection of existing devices from the product Portfolio and selected third-party devices
- Creation of a room planning module for the localization of the devices
- Live notification of events/alarms on the devices and live display of physical parameters
- Program Manager for the creation of planned physical processes on the devices
- Integration of moder I4.0 protocols, for example for predictive maintenance
- Integration of a multi-Level licence model for sales support for different customer groups
Customer benefits:
- Implementation of a large functional spectrum with the help of agile development methods
- User-friendly and intuitive operation
- Modular architecture ensures maintainability and expandability
RescueWave® is an innovative system that solves the most difficult problems of the chaotic phase — that takes place at the beginning of every mass-casualty incident — in one fell swoop: to gain a clear overview.

Flexible and secure into the cloud.
How ITK developed a modular microservice infrastructure for a medical device.
What does it take to make complex system architecture for a medical device highly scalable, flexible and secure? ITK delivered the goods when a digital health startup asked the company to develop a modular microservice infrastructure that can be hosted on-premise or in the cloud.
Flexible and secure into the cloud.
Tasked to design modular system architecture, ITK Engineering came up with a scalable microservice infrastructure for a standards-compliant epileptic seizure detector that meets the highest security requirements. ITK also developed the web interface. It connects to the backend to furnish information and statistics on patient’s epileptic seizures to the physician. Brought on board as a development Partner, ITK Engineering took a holistic view of the overall system to support requirements and risk management from day one. The company also shared ist regulatory know-how regarding quality management and usability engineering.
Our solution:
- Developing a REST-based interface concept to integrate backend, frontend and mobile app.
- Building a backend based on a microservice architecture with Docker containers
- Engineering a frontend based on Angular and featuring a modified Angular calendar component to handle the seizure log
Customer benefits:
- Solution provides approvable and reusable microservices (user and physician interface, device management, user administration, data management, authentification gateway, notification service)
- Highly scalable design accomodates many functions, users and large amounts of data
- State-of-the-art security e.g. protection of patient data through authentification and encryption
- Remarkably flexible – it adapts dynamically to changing requirements engineering scenarios
- Modular architecture for easy maintainability and extensiblity
- Flexible hosting model: on-premise or via SaaS
