Controlling and managing the thirty-six drying chambers at a plate catalyst producer was becoming increasingly cumbersome and time-consuming to do manually. A combined solution, which visualizes all ovens and enables recipe management, was implemented directly on-site. The software solution is integrated into the existing environment and communicates directly with the respective PLC of the chamber control system via an OPC server.
Messaging apps have certainly changed the way we communicate. They give us the ability to send messages to our colleagues, friends, and relatives in a flash. However, the data sovereignty and security of public applications don’t always meet the requirements of businesses.

The following points should be considered when choosing a messaging app:
- How does registration work (phone, email, company ID)?
- Can contacts be imported or distributed centrally?
- How is message exchange handled (centrally or decentrally)?
- Is the security provided by end-to-end encryption sufficient?
- Are self-destructing messages important?
- Are channels (also called rooms) important?
- Where are media files, photos, documents, etc. stored?
- How can the app be distributed within the company?

The only limit to what your own messaging app will look like is your imagination. Dozens of factors need to be considered, and many features need to be implemented.
If you require strong data sovereignty, a flexible app with deep integration into existing systems, and short release cycles, developing your own app makes sense. If the goal is an internal company messenger and data sovereignty is less of a concern, you can simply use an existing white-label instant messaging service. These services are easily customizable and cover basic features like messaging, login, and company logo integration.
