Microsoft Technologies

DTMSOFT uses Microsoft’s technologies to build high-performance applications across platforms, helping clients achieve scalable solutions for their unique business requirements.

.NET / .NET Core

.NET Core is an open-source, cross-platform framework optimized for building high-performance applications, while .NET remains a robust platform for Windows-based applications.

Cross-Platform: .NET Core runs on Windows, Linux, and macOS, making it versatile and adaptable to different environments.
Modular Architecture: Uses NuGet packages to add only the components you need, keeping applications lightweight.
Microservices-Friendly: Ideal for microservices architecture, with built-in support for containerization via Docker.
Community-Driven: Regularly updated by Microsoft and an active open-source community, ensuring access to the latest features and improvements.

Applications: Widely used for web applications, enterprise software, desktop applications, and APIs that require portability, security, and performance.

WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation)

WPF is a UI framework within the .NET ecosystem, designed for building visually rich, modern desktop applications with robust data binding, vector graphics, and animation support.

XAML-Based UI Design: Uses XAML (Extensible Application Markup Language) to define UI layouts, allowing for easy separation of UI and business logic.
Data Binding: Simplifies data handling by connecting UI elements directly to data sources, making it ideal for dynamic applications.
Customizable and Flexible UI: Supports 2D and 3D graphics, animations, and media, enabling visually engaging interfaces that enhance user experience.
MVVM Support: Designed to work seamlessly with the MVVM (Model-View-ViewModel) pattern, making it easy to develop modular and maintainable applications.

Applications: WPF is ideal for building desktop applications with complex UIs, such as enterprise software, dashboards, and applications that require real-time data visualization and a high level of interactivity. It is particularly suited for industries that need powerful data presentation capabilities, like finance, healthcare, and manufacturing.

ASP.NET MVC / Web API

ASP.NET MVC provides a robust model-view-controller architecture for building dynamic web applications, while Web API is designed for creating RESTful services.

MVC Pattern: Separates application logic, UI, and input control, providing structure and modularity for large applications.
RESTful Web Services: Simplifies the creation of HTTP services that can be consumed by web clients, mobile apps, and IoT devices.
Security Features: Includes built-in authentication and authorization tools, supporting identity, role-based, and OAuth-based access control.
Scalability: Easily scaled to handle high-traffic applications due to its optimized request handling.

Applications: ASP.NET MVC and Web API are essential for creating complex web applications, single-page applications, and backend services that support mobile and other front-end applications.

Entity Framework

Entity Framework (EF) is an object-relational mapper (ORM) that enables .NET developers to work with a database using .NET objects, abstracting the complexity of direct data manipulation.

Database-First, Code-First, and Model-First Approaches: Flexible ways to define and manage the database schema.
Change Tracking and Lazy Loading: Keeps track of changes to objects and retrieves related data only when it’s required, optimizing performance.
Migrations: Allows seamless database updates over time, making it easier to modify and evolve applications without downtime.

Applications: Entity Framework simplifies data access in enterprise-level applications and web solutions, allowing faster development and easier maintenance of data-intensive applications.

Beckhoff: Known for open automation solutions that integrate seamlessly with industrial IoT systems, providing flexibility and scalability.
Allen Bradley (Rockwell Automation): Offers reliable and high performance PLCs widely used in automotive and manufacturing industries.
Siemens: Siemens’ PLCs, especially the SIMATIC series, are trusted for their reliability and are used extensively in complex manufacturing setups.
OMRON: High-speed PLCs suited for real-time control, ideal for precision operations in fast-paced environments like packaging and assembly lines.

Applications: DTMSOFT uses PLCs to automate repetitive tasks, control machinery, and streamline manufacturing processes, ensuring efficiency and consistency across industrial operations.

SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition)

SCADA systems provide a centralized platform for real-time monitoring, data acquisition, and control of industrial processes.

Beckhoff TwinCAT HMI: Integrates with Beckhoff PLCs, allowing users to design flexible HMI interfaces tailored to specific applications.
RSView32 and FactoryTalk View: Rockwell Automation’s solutions provide comprehensive monitoring and control for Allen Bradley PLCs, popular in manufacturing and utilities.
WinCC and TIA Portal: Siemens’ advanced SCADA tools provide robust data visualization, control, and analytics, ideal for large-scale industrial applications.
CX-One and Sysmac Studio: OMRON’s platforms streamline the programming and control of automation systems, integrating PLCs, HMI, and SCADA.

Applications: SCADA solutions are used in industries like manufacturing, utilities, oil & gas, and energy for real-time data acquisition, system monitoring, and remote control.
