Industrial Characterization Labs

AppFive can help you build new customized software applications that optimize your lab’s workflow. Our team of entrepeneurial application software developers have intimate knowledge of many materials characterization applications and equipment (SEM, TEM, FIB, EDS, EELS, CCD, …) and could be a excellent partner to implement your workflow optimization projects or other automation initiatives.

A typical industrial R&D, Failure Analysis (FA), Quality Assurance (QA) or process control lab has a wide variety of sample preparation and materials characterization equipment.  The lab very often is providing services to multiple internal and/or external customers, frequently located at multiple locations. Needless to say that managing the complex workflow of a typical industrial lab can be a challenge. Industrial lab workflow optimization might be one of the ways to improve the lab’s productivity and the time-to-answer to it’s customers.

AppFive’s approach to developing applications is to integrate existing software with a thin integration layer. By avoiding a large, complex application platform, we can improve robustness and reduce time-to-market.

Our agile development methods lead to early working prototypes, which means getting (and giving) feedback earlier in the development process. We also use a wide range of software technologies, including C/C++, C#/.NET, COM, SQL, HTML, PHP, Java and JavaScript, so we can interface to virtually any software, and deliver your software using the optimal technology.
