Software Services for Open Source Components

Open source software has played a fundamental role in the digital world in recent decades. It refers to software whose source code is freely available and can therefore be jointly developed and improved by a community of developers, enthusiasts and interested parties. This open and transparent approach has numerous advantages that go far beyond mere availability. However, integration, configuration and maintenance often pose challenges for companies with industrial applications. With our software services for open source components, we support you in precisely these challenges. With us, you can bring open source components into industrial applications easily, quickly and cost-effectively.

Software Services for Open Source Components: Configuring Open Source Tools

Configuring open-source tools

Do you use open source projects or tools in your company? But are you faced with the challenge of configuring them?

We configure according to your requirements Interfaces, data flows, database structures, data analysis and data visualizations in open source tools. You will then receive the finished configuration for the import from us. In addition, we can alternatively integrate this individual configuration into your open source instance for you. The associated documentation includes both the application and the functional description of individual elements.

Our experts can configure the following open-source tools for you.

Grafana

  • Connection of data sources,
  • Configuration of individual dashboard elements or dashboards,
  • Configuration of access permissions,
  • Backups, migrations, updates,
  • Etc.

Node-Red

  • Programming of individual nodes,
  • Import or integration of new or own nodes,
  • Configuration of data flows from the input interface through data processing to the output interface,
  • Configuration of individual interfaces,
  • Backups, migrations, updates,
  • Etc.

InfluxDB, PostgreSQL

  • Design and configuration of your specific database structure,
  • Expansion of the database structure,
  • Connection of further open source tools,
  • Backups, migrations, updates,
  • Etc.

Mosquitto MQTT Broker

  • Configuration of the MQTT broker,
  • Backups, migrations, updates,
  • Etc.

ChirpStack LoRaWAN Server

  • Integration of LoRaWAN gateways and/or sensors,
  • Configuration of the LoRaWAN server,
  • Backups, migrations, updates,
  • Etc.

With our software services for open-source components, industrial use succeeds without any problems.

Software Services for Open Source Components: Deploying Open Source Projects

Deployment of open source projects

Do you want to use an open source project or tool in your IT system structure in an industry-ready way?

We support you in the implementation and accompany you through to the finished integration and beyond. The following steps can be carried out partially or completely by our experts according to your wishes:

  1. Provision of your open source project for installation/integration on the target system
  2. Integration of the open source project on the target system
  3. Commissioning of the open source project on the target system
  4. Start-up of the open source project on the target system incl. Configuration for the use case

If necessary, we will also carry out a requirements analysis in advance and jointly determine a software suitable for your application on the basis of an evaluation scheme. With our software services for open source components, industrial use can be achieved in a short time. Or use our BITMOTECOsystem as an industrial-grade basis.

Software Services for Open Source Components: Analyzing Your Source Code

Analysis of your source code for open-source components

Are you working on software based on open-source components or are you planning to do so? Do you want to have the source code checked by an independent body for sources of error or potential security gaps?

Our experts analyze your source code and discuss necessary adjustments and recommendations for action with you. In the further course of the process, we can also support you in the implementation of these adjustments. With our software services for open source components, we support your software development.

Software Services for Open Source Components: License Analysis

License analysis of open source software components

Do you use open source components for your software development and need the complete license information? Are your end customers demanding a complete Software Bill of Material (SBOM)? Do you want to ensure your intellectual property (IP) protection?

License Scanning Tools

We can support you in this. We scan your package list with our specially developed license scanning tools and then provide you with a detailed overview of the package information and the associated license information. We will provide you with a Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) in digital form as well as all contained license texts for integration into your software solution. In addition, we provide you with information on software licenses (e.g. AGPL and MIT) and how they affect your product. Our service provides the basis for you to be able to protect your intellectual property (IP) at all times in the future.

Software Services for Open Source Components: Continuous License Analysis and Archiving

Integration of continuous license analysis and archiving of open source software components

A continuous license analysis of open source software tools should be carried out systematically and proactively to ensure that the use of the software complies with the relevant license terms (especially license terms). restrictions on commercial use) at all times. It is also important that you implement an automatic process from the software Bill of Materials (SBOM) to the license scan and the storage of the data. Otherwise, your developers will spend a lot of time reading license text.

Continuous License Analysis

Continuous license analysis helps to minimize legal risks, ensure compliance, and raise awareness of the use of open source software in the organization.

Do you need continuous license analysis and archiving for the open source components included in your software? We offer easy integration of the generated license information into your build pipelines. With our software services for open source components, you will never again integrate outdated or incorrect license information into your software and products.
