MES-Knowhow meets Software Expertise
As an MES consultant, Timothée (co-founder) knew the challenges firsthand: lack of test environments, expensive hardware dependencies, and complex simulations that delay projects. Together with Robert (co-founder), an experienced full-stack developer for cloud and industrial applications, he developed MaConSim—the lightweight simulator that makes MES testing simple, fast, and without compromise.
