Applications and frontend
User interfaces for operators, technicians and administrators. Web and cross-platform applications designed around the way the product is actually used.
Long-term B2B development
Looking for a development partner for your technical product?
Synesta develops applications and services that connect physical devices, communications, the edge or embedded layer, backend or cloud services and the user interface.
This is not merely web development. The aim is a working software product for industrial, measurement, control and automation equipment. It may include process automation and purposeful use of AI in the cloud or directly in local infrastructure.

One product, multiple layers
Development from the application to device communication
A technical product rarely ends with a single application. Its individual parts must share data, respect device operating states and form a maintainable whole.
Backend and cloud services
APIs, authentication, data processing, remote administration and the services required for reliable operation and continued product development.
Communication and integration
Implementation of proprietary protocols, analysis of existing communication and integration of systems that were not originally designed to communicate.
Edge, embedded and PLC
Local computing and control using suitable edge devices, embedded systems or commercially available PLCs.
Data and product logic
Processing measured data, calculations, condition evaluation, result visualisation and integration with other business systems.
Operations and long-term development
Production monitoring, ongoing improvements, operational support and product development across successive stages.
Automation and AI
From process control to local inference
We design automation and AI as part of a specific product and its operation, based on measurable value, available data and technical constraints.
Control flow
Automation and coordinated control
We turn operating procedures into software, connect devices and systems, and coordinate their behaviour based on states, measurements, rules or schedules.
- Control and decision logic
- PLC and edge automation
- Responses to operating states
- Workflow integration
Local inference
AI, local inference and agentic systems
A model can run in the cloud, in the customer’s infrastructure or on a suitable edge device. Local inference is useful when sensitive data should remain under the customer’s control or low latency is required.
- Data analysis and interpretation
- Inference in a local environment
- Models for defined tasks
- Agentic systems and tools
System integration
When devices were not designed to communicate
Integration can mean enabling communication between two independent systems, unifying their data and controlling them together — even when neither manufacturer supports direct communication between them.
Depending on the project, commercially available PLCs or edge devices can be used. We do not offer standalone electronics design, but we can consult on hardware development and its software integration is a natural part of the solution.
Device A
proprietary interface
Integration layer
communication and control
Device B
different manufacturer
Protocol translation, data normalisation and coordination of system behaviour.
Case studies
Products connected to real devices
Two examples of long-term development in which applications, data, communications and hardware form one working system.
Smart fireplace and stove control as a connected product
The production system connects control devices, sensors, control logic, proprietary communication, backend services, the user application, remote administration and OTA updates.
Synesta operates and monitors the system and provides ongoing development. TimNet has been used in production for several years.

- Control logic
- Backend and application

- Remote administration
- OTA updates
Recognoil for TechTest
Recognoil: a cloud application for industrial diagnostic devices
Recognoil’s new frontend and backend serve specialised industrial oil detectors and are closely integrated with TechTest hardware. The result is a cloud service for working with measured data and managing devices.
The project includes implementing a proprietary protocol, identifying and addressing its weaknesses, performing complex calculations on acquired data, interpreting it as a 2D map and testing results against defined conditions.

Long-term partnership
From understanding the device to production operations
We can build on an existing product or create a new solution. The scope is divided into concrete stages that can be verified as the work progresses.
Product lifecycle
Successive stages- Discovery
Technical discovery
We understand the device, its users, the current solution, the data and the communication model.
device · data · users
- Design
Architecture and priorities
We define system layers, interfaces, responsibilities and the specific scope of the first stage.
layers · interfaces · priorities
- Delivery
Development and integration
Features are delivered incrementally and verified together with the hardware and connected systems.
development · integration · verification
- Operations
Operations and next stages
After deployment, we continue with monitoring, maintenance and development in line with product needs.
