Our focus within the ctrlX ecosystem

Custom apps for ctrlX OS
ctrlX OS provides an open operating system for modular automation. We deliver the right applications to match. M&M Software develops customized ctrlX apps tailored precisely to our clients’ requirements. From the initial idea to concept, development, testing, and deployment in the ctrlX Store—we manage the entire process. We rely on modern software architectures, open interfaces, and a clear focus on usability and performance.

Integration of existing systems
ctrlX OS puts an end to closed systems. We help companies seamlessly integrate existing machines, controllers, and components into the new platform. Whether it's retrofit projects, OPC UA connectivity, or the integration of third-party software—our solutions enable smart, end-to-end communication between legacy and modern system environments. The result: future-ready automation that can flexibly adapt to new requirements.

Cyber Security & DevOps
As connectivity increases, so do the demands on security and development processes. M&M Software integrates modern DevOps methodologies and applies DevSecOps principles to embed security considerations early in the development cycle. We assess risks, eliminate vulnerabilities, and support companies in implementing PSIRT processes. The result is robust, secure software that meets industry standards—and earns the trust of your customers.
 

ctrlX OS in practice: The EEBUS Connector App

A successful example in action: Together with WAGO, M&M Software developed the EEBUS Connector App for ctrlX OS.
This solution enables standardized communication between grid operators and energy management systems, providing the technical foundation for efficient load management. The project demonstrates how complex requirements can be intelligently implemented using ctrlX OS—and the added value a strong digitalization partner can deliver.
