ALMEC Software Development: intelligence, safety, and continuity for machines

With ALMEC, software development becomes a strategic asset: not just code, but an industrial system designed to last, evolve, and create value.

From the concept to the machine’s operational life

At ALMEC we develop embedded software and application software as a structural part of the machine, not as a simple accessory component.

Every project is conceived to ensure long‑term reliability, functional safety, advanced diagnostics, and easy integration, supporting the product throughout its entire lifecycle.

ALMEC supports the customer through all stages of software development:

  • 1
    Requirements analysis
  • 2
    Development and integration
  • 3
    Validation and testing
  • 4
    Commissioning
  • 5
    Updates and support
  • 6
    Diagnostics and continuous improvement

Functional Safety - Safety by Design

  • Safe software for critical functions

    Safe software for critical functions

    Embedded software today governs functions that directly impact:

    • operator safety

    • machine stability

    • production continuity

    • regulatory compliance

    For this reason, we develop according to Safety by Design principles, integrating analysis and validation from the earliest design phases.

  • Regulatory references

    Regulatory references

    Depending on the application, we operate in accordance with key standards such as:

    • ISO 13849 (Safety of Machinery)

    • IEC 61508 (Functional Safety)

    • ISO 25119 (agricultural and off‑highway machinery)

    • Guidelines for programmable electronic systems

  • Methodologies

    Methodologies

    Our activities include:

    • Risk analysis and PL / SIL assessment

    • Fail‑safe and redundant architectures

    • Monitoring and diagnostics of critical functions

    • Error handling and degraded‑state management

    • Full traceability of software requirements

  • Value for OEMs and machine manufacturers

    Value for OEMs and machine manufacturers

    For an OEM, integrating functional safety means:

    • Reducing technical liability risk

    • Facilitating CE certification and compliance

    • Lowering the risk of recalls and disputes

    • Increasing the perceived reliability of the product

Cybersecurity

The evolution toward connected machines, industrial IoT, and OTA updates introduces new vulnerabilities. Cybersecurity is no longer optional.

ALMEC integrates Cybersecurity by Design principles into embedded software development and digital platforms.

Areas of Intervention

  • Protection of CAN, Ethernet, and wireless communications

  • Secure device authentication

  • Data encryption in transit and at rest

  • Secure boot and firmware protection

  • Secure management of OTA updates

  • Access control and privilege management

We operate in line with the latest European regulatory developments in industrial cybersecurity (NIS 2 – EN 18031) and with best practices for embedded systems.
