For the development of new machines. the design and implementation of software is an important part of the design process. It is often neglected that the design and implementation of this software requires a lot of technical skills. Controllab is a company that show her talents on the edge of software, technology and science. With a multidisciplinary team of engineers (control engineering, robotics, mechatronics, drive technology, physics, embedded systems), Controllab is able to asses the technical background of an assignment and turn this into a competent design and implementation of the software.

Controllab has a lot of experience with various programming languages and programming environments (C++, C#, .NET, java, smalltalk, ...). To underline this experience you may have a look at the program 20-sim. 20-sim is a modeling and simulation package that is being sold worldwide for the use in industry and education. The first version of 20-sim has been release by Controllab in 1995. Since then and in close cooperation with the customers, 20-sim was systematically upgraded and extended.

Example

SimQuest is an educational program that allows teachers to create lessons en students to follow these lessons. The lessons, also know as applications, contain assignments, simulation experiments, documentation, background information, multiple choice exams, open exams, multimedia support, logging facilities etc. The unique of SimQuest is that it allows students to explore the experiments on their own and learn from it on their way. SimQuest consists of a student environment and an authoring environment. It allows teachers to add new lessons and change existing material at will.
