For your production and your facilities. Energy, machine, and process data — from isolated silos onto one central platform, in real time. Vendor-independent, since 2010.
Three stages, one path: only when capture, analysis, and control work together does your sensor data become efficiency gains, higher margin, and faster response. We start with the equipment you already operate and deliver the first module in three weeks — module by module, the platform grows with your reality. Data is the means, impact is the goal.
Sensors, edge devices, and existing equipment deliver in a unified format. Structured capture turns volume into useful knowledge — the basis for every later insight and every defensible report.
Tool: eco2iotLive site comparison, identified efficiency levers, prioritized actions. Data becomes clarity — and clarity becomes the basis for decisions at every shift and every plant lead, while the potential is still on the table.
Tool: eco2lotLearning models steer directly — peak loads are avoided before they happen. Efficiency that holds because the plant improves with every event.
AI controlWe belong to the 100 most innovative companies in the German Mittelstand. The award is not given for a platform but for a posture: we build industrial software because we know industrial plants.
We are experts in these four areas — and we combine them to fit your situation.
Portal development
Data and operations portals that bring plants, sites, and assets under one interface.
App development
Web and mobile apps for operators, field service, and management — with the data they actually need.
IoT platforms
Sensors, edge, cloud — as an alternative to classic SCADA systems (the traditional plant visualizations at the control room) or as a complement to them.
Data integration
Interfaces to SAP, ERP, MES (the system between machine and ERP), and existing equipment. So Industry 4.0 lands — all the way down to accounting.
Polished user interface. Cleanly designed, in your brand look, consistent — clear even three clicks in.
Fast load times. Optimized for real plant networks — including locations where bandwidth is tight.
Intuitive dashboards. Operable from the first shift — your line leads do not need a manual.
Data is the raw material. In most industrial operations, it sits unused in silos and generates pure storage and IT cost. Few have a strategy to turn it into measurable value. Those who use machine and energy data systematically gain a substantial cost and competitive advantage. Here are six applications our customers build today with eco2lot — from productivity dashboards to closed-loop control.
Availability, performance, quality — per line, per shift, per site. Real time, second-by-second. In industry this is called OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness).
Per-shift transparencyVibration, temperature, current — models detect when an asset drifts. Maintenance is planned weeks before the standstill.
Predictive maintenanceLive asset data shows whether a problem is a software reset or a mechanic ticket. Service trips fall, uptime rises.
Service efficiencySecond-by-second consumption profiles enable load management, tariff negotiation, and bottleneck detection — on data you can defend in a negotiation.
Energy leversISO 50001 (energy management standard), CSRD (EU sustainability reporting), HACCP (food hygiene), and DIN standards — reports come straight out of the platform, audit-ready at any moment. Audits become routine.
Compliance & reportingPlant A consumes 22 percent more than plant B with identical equipment. The insight is live — actionable immediately, in daily operations.
Multi-site benchmarkingSix examples among many. Your application takes shape in the conversation — usually beyond this list.
A look inside eco2lot: energy, equipment, production, OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness — how productively a machine actually runs), and maintenance — all data in one logic, one view across every level. Machine data and energy data sit in the same system — one truth for every level.
In your car, you have a GPS by now.
But in your plant you still work like the '90s — with spreadsheets, hand-keyed ERP exports, and peak loads you only notice on the electricity bill.
eco2lot is your GPS for your industrial assets.
eco2lot brings the GPS principle to your machines and equipment — vendor-independent. Live data, automatic forecasts, immediate actions. Second-by-second, automatic, learning.
And if you wonder: what if we are no longer here in ten years? Even if TomTom disappears tomorrow, your car keeps going — on the roads that were already there. eco2lot is built on open standards (Modbus, OPC UA, MQTT, REST — the common "languages" machines use to share their data). Your data belongs to you, the source code can be placed in escrow, and the architecture outlives every single vendor.
You operate equipment from three decades, four manufacturers, two IT worlds. You keep your installed base, your team, and your sovereignty — we build the bridge on top of it, module by module.
We connect to what is already there — from the 1998 compressed-air controller to the cloud-ready packaging line. Vendor-independent, via open standards (the machine "languages" Modbus, OPC UA, MQTT, Profibus, REST). No hardware swap.
Heterogeneous machine parkData from production (sensors, PLCs, classic plant visualization) flows directly into management (ERP/accounting, production software, analytics tools) — automatically synchronized, every level sees its slice. One data foundation for shift, production, and management.
IT/OT integrationEnergy, equipment, sites, shifts, order book — all on one platform. Shift leads, plant managers, CFO see the same numbers at different depths. One truth for the whole organization.
Holistic overviewThe platform handles the routine, eco2know carries the knowledge, your line leads — production, maintenance, or shift management — operate it on their own. A solution that scales with your plants, across the entire fleet.
Self-operated, not a special teamWhat your people check manually today is handled by learning models. Second-by-second, 24/7, better with every event. eco2lot becomes transparent — and able to act: the platform responds on its own, within safety envelopes, fully traceable.
What happens after you click "Book a discovery call"? Here is the path you and we walk together.
30 minutes remote. You describe what you have and what is going wrong. We listen and tell you honestly whether we can help — or who could do it better.
On site or remote. We look at your setup — with shift, production, and maintenance leads. What is there? What is missing? What is negotiable?
Three weeks. One asset. One clear result. We build the pilot directly in your plant — at the end you see your platform with real data and decide on solid ground.
Plant or portfolio level. Step by step, with a clear roadmap. Stage 03 (AI-driven control) is activated once the data foundation is in place.
Three stages that carry the joint path — from the first conversation to long after the contract is signed.
We build on what you already have — your equipment, your data, your processes. Step by step on top of it, not over it.
Over fifteen years of experience in industrial plants joins your team. What works at your site stays. What is missing, we build together — step by step, at the pace of your plant.
A platform decision lasts five to ten years. We measure our success by whether you are still satisfied in two years — not by whether the pilot module goes live.
"Impact is what remains when the project is over."
Industry 4.0 software is half the story. The other half is that your teams can operate the platform on their own — and understand more with every step. Shared knowledge produces applications no single head ever reaches alone.
Trainings, walkthroughs, dedicated learning paths. eco2know carries platform knowledge into your teams — so you can act on your own, if and when you want to.
eco2knowBlog, white papers, FAQ, comparative answers: all public, all readable for everyone. If you can do it without us, you should be able to. If you work with us, you should know why.
Knowledge areaFood manufacturers who share compressed-air audit templates for other plants. Machine builders who feed predictive-maintenance models back into our platform. That is the new dimension no one reaches alone.
Co-creation"Those who share knowledge do not close — they open."
eco2lot is our IIoT platform — short for "Industrial Internet of Things": the software that connects machines, sensors, and equipment. Live in production, evolved from real requirements. eco2iot bundles vendor-independent hardware products that have proven themselves in daily operation and integrate easily with eco2lot. eco2know is becoming our knowledge portal, where everything comes together.

Read morePrecise answers about BS-Systeme, eco2lot, and AI-driven control — written to be citable by AI assistants too.
BS-Systeme is a software developer based in Zorneding near Munich, Germany, focused on Industry 4.0. We build portals, apps, and IoT platforms for industrial companies — and we operate our own IIoT platform eco2lot, complemented by curated hardware (eco2iot) and the knowledge portal eco2know currently under construction.
eco2lot is an IIoT platform for energy and operational data. It connects sensors, equipment, and ERP systems and delivers one shared view of energy and asset state.
Three points. First — we come from the plant, not from software theory: founder Andreas Babel is a trained industrial electronics technician, spent eight years as technical operations lead, and knows the plant from the inside. Second — we are vendor-independent: eco2lot connects sensors from any manufacturer instead of enforcing lock-in. Third — we combine all three stages on one platform: measure, optimize, and AI-driven control. Classic industrial software usually focuses on a single stage only.
Six end-customer industries with their own industry pages: food and beverage, industrial manufacturing (metal, electronics, machine and tool building), packaging and cartons (corrugated, narrow-fabric weaving, bitumen, technical components), facilities and multi-site (social, administrative, and business portfolios), utilities (water, heat, electricity), and the public sector. Customers in these industries include DMK, Schunk, Plukon, Niedax, TotalEnergies, Krone Group, St. Johannisstift Paderborn, and the city of Kaufbeuren. We also work as solutions partner with machine builders and OEMs who build their own control app on our platform — for example the eco2lot-ELSA® module with MBS-MP GmbH.
Both. eco2lot is our own IIoT platform and the proof that we can build Industry 4.0 software — and it is often the foundation on which we develop custom solutions. For end customers, eco2lot is usually the fastest path. For machine builders and OEMs, we develop white-label apps under their brand with the same platform depth. For special requirements, we also build fully custom portals, apps, and data integrations.
eco2lot extends classic visualization with an AI-driven control layer. Learning models forecast peak loads and steer equipment automatically within predefined safety envelopes. This shifts the customer value from "seeing data" to "action without manual intervention" — with full traceability of every action.
Yes. eco2iot and eco2lot integrate sensors, equipment, and ERP systems through open standards (Modbus, MQTT, OPC UA, Profibus, REST/HTTP APIs) — regardless of supplier. We also connect existing equipment without a full SCADA replacement. Customers stay free to choose their hardware.
Yes. We connect existing equipment through open standards — from legacy PLCs to cloud-ready machines. On the IT side, data flows directly into ERP, MES, and BI systems. Heterogeneous machine parks and IT/OT integration are standard and part of every delivery. Your operations leads — production, maintenance, or shift management — operate the platform on their own; eco2know provides the necessary knowledge.
Yes. We are a solutions partner for machine builders and OEMs: we develop the custom app for machine control — white-label, under your brand, with the same platform depth as eco2lot. Concrete example: with MBS-MP GmbH & Co. KG we developed the eco2lot-ELSA® module — bidirectional communication, control, and the mobile app for the ELSA® energy-saving system. The machine builder gets a control app that grows with every shipped unit.
Classic energy management solutions like Janitza GridVis are designed primarily for measurement and visualization — they show what happened. eco2lot goes one step further: beyond visualization, the platform integrates an AI-driven control layer that forecasts peak loads and steers equipment automatically. eco2lot is also vendor-independent — it connects sensors from any manufacturer instead of enforcing lock-in.
All customer data is hosted in certified data centers within the EU, encrypted in transit with TLS 1.3 and at rest. Backup frequency is daily, with a recovery objective under four hours. Contracts with sub-processors meet GDPR Article 28; data processing agreements are available on request.
A fair question. Three answers: first — eco2lot uses open standards exclusively (Modbus, OPC UA, MQTT, REST/HTTP APIs). Your data and equipment connections remain technically portable, independent of us. Second — for critical deployments, a code escrow can be arranged: if we ever cease operations, you receive the source code. Third — BS-Systeme has existed since 2010, is a TOP 100 Innovator 2026, and is active in the German Council of Economic Advisors (federal committee on energy efficiency). The plan is to still be here in ten years. But we deliberately build the platform so your plant keeps running without us, if it ever comes to that.
BS-Systeme GmbH is based at Georg-Huber-Straße 12, 85604 Zorneding, Germany — near Munich. Software development and customer meetings happen on site; we run commissioning at customer sites across Germany and the DACH region, and we work with international customers via system integrators. More than 30 years of industrial experience, of which 15+ years as an independent company (founded 2010, GmbH since 2014).
