About · EXETOPIA GmbH

Software expertise born on the shop floor, not in an open-plan office

Since 2022, we have supported industrial players who want to digitise their tools and improve their human-machine interfaces.

Industrial sectors supported by EXETOPIA: automotive, aerospace, energy, robotics, food and beverage and special machinery

Our story

Closing the gap between code and machine

EXETOPIA grew out of a simple observation: most industrial software projects fail not on the technology, but on understanding the reality on the ground. A developer who has never watched a packaging line run will design an interface that works in a demo and turns out to be unusable with gloves, on the night shift, under alarm.

Our team combines technical software expertise with a deep understanding of industrial challenges. That is what allows us to deliver robust, intuitive and fitting solutions rather than generic products that then have to be worked around.

Based in Basel, at the crossroads of three industrial countries, we work for machine builders, system integrators and production sites across logistics, manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, energy, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals and robotics.

Our values

Four principles that guide every project

Precision

Software built for demanding industrial environments, validated on your actual hardware.

Useful innovation

IoT, cloud and artificial intelligence built in where they solve a real problem, never for show.

Collaboration

An agile approach, working closely with your production, process engineering and maintenance teams.

Reliability

Solutions tested and validated for critical environments, backed by an acceptance report.

Why choose us

What you will not have to explain to us

  • Industrial experience — 35 years of combined experience in the team, across sectors such as logistics, manufacturing, automotive, aerospace and energy.
  • Technologies mastered — C/C++, C#, Java, Qt, .NET, Windows, Android, iOS, Linux, embedded Linux and beyond.
  • A tailored approach — from prototype to maintenance, by way of system integration.
  • Independence — we deliver the source code and its documentation: you are tied to no supplier, not even to us.

Our method

From the first visit to commissioning

A four-step sequence, the same whatever the service, so you always know where the project stands.

  1. On-site scoping

    We come and see the machine, the shop floor and the operators, then we write down the real constraints with you.

  2. Mockup and architecture

    Clickable screens, technology choices and integration plan approved before any development commitment.

  3. Iterative development

    Two-week sprints, a demo at the end of each sprint and automated tests on your own hardware.

  4. Commissioning and support

    Rollout, operator training, documentation delivered with the code, then maintenance on request.

Fancy working with us?

Whether your project is already scoped or still just an idea, the first conversation is free and without obligation.
