Software Development — Engineered from the Ground Up
Native Windows & Android software, shaped by real engineering experience
Where the Machine Shop Meets the IDE
Located in Bergisch Gladbach, HORUS Robotics occupies a rare position in the software industry: our team brings hands-on, professional-level experience in both CNC machining and mechanical engineering and native software development. That combination is not an accident — it is our core competence.
Software written in pure C/C++ with the Win32 API for Windows® and Kotlin® for Android® — combined with a deep understanding of industrial processes, tolerances and real-world manufacturing constraints.
This is why our tools — like SIMmachina Tools — solve problems that generic software developers never even knew existed: they are built by people who have personally stood at a lathe, run a milling machine, and understood what the software on the shop floor actually needs to do.
A Rare Combination of Disciplines
Most software developers have never worked with a CNC machine. Most machinists have never written a native Win32 API application. HORUS Robotics has spent years mastering both — and that combination makes a decisive difference when your project sits at the intersection of mechanical engineering and software.
Mechanical Engineering & Machine Shop
- Conventional & CNC lathe work
- Conventional & CNC milling
- Precision component manufacturing
- Tooling, fixturing and process planning
- CAD/CAM design with SOLIDWORKS®
Native Software Development
- C/C++ with Native Win32 API (Windows® 7–11, x86/x64)
- Kotlin® for Android® (8.0 and up)
- OpenGL® graphics on Windows® & Android®
- Industrial desktop & mobile applications
- Low-level, high-performance, absolutely no bloat
The result: software that is technically precise in the way only engineers can make it — because the requirements come from the workshop floor, not from a requirements document written by someone who has never held a micrometer.
Software Services — What We Develop
Native Windows® Desktop Applications
Native desktop applications in C/C++ with the Win32 API — lean, fast and compatible from Windows® 7 through 11 (x86 & x64). No frameworks, no runtime dependencies, no unnecessary overhead.
Android® Applications (Kotlin)
Native Android® apps in Kotlin®, targeting Android 8.0 and above. From productivity tools to OpenGL®-powered graphics — built to run efficiently on real devices in industrial and workshop environments.
OpenGL® Graphics Programming
High-performance 2D and 3D graphics using OpenGL® on Windows® and OpenGL® ES on Android®. Visualisation of engineering data, simulations, and technical diagrams — rendered at native speed.
Manufacturing & Workshop Software
Calculation tools, process aids and custom applications for machine shops and manufacturing environments — developed with genuine understanding of tolerances, cutting parameters and shop-floor reality.
Get Rid of .NET & Heavy Frameworks
Want to get rid of .NET and other frameworks? If your legacy application (WinForms, WPF) is showing its age — slow startup, heavy runtime dependencies, or broken upgrades — we migrate it to lean, dependency-free native C++/Win32 executables: faster, smaller, and reliable.
Custom Industrial Solutions
If your project does not fit a standard category, that is precisely the kind of challenge HORUS Robotics is built for. From concept and specification through to deployment — engineered to your exact requirements.
