As a software company, we are acutely aware that the world of industry and manufacturing is constantly evolving. New technological advancements significantly affect how we produce and operate today. But what exactly is industrial automation and why is it so important?

With millions of apps available in the App Store, distributing an iOS app is a crucial step for developers to showcase their creations to the world. Apple provides a wide range of options to facilitate this process. In this blog post, we will explore the different ways developers can distribute their iOS apps through the Apple ecosystem.

Within SST we develop both Natively and with Flutter, but is one better than the other? In this article we take a high-level look at the difference between native app development and using Flutter.

In the world of software development, there are countless programming languages to choose from. At SST Software, we select the best programming language for each project. We often choose between Java or PHP. Both programming languages have their own strengths and differences. The choice between Java and PHP depends on several factors. In this article, we will discuss the main differences between Java and PHP and when we might choose one of these programming languages.

As per May 1st, we have launched our spin-off SST Labs! A technical innovation lab with a focus on supporting organizations in early stages of innovation. In SST Labs, we work with a multidisciplinary team on software, hardware, mechanics, and design.

SST Software successfully obtained ISO 27001 certification, the international standard for information security, in March 2023. We have always had a strong focus on information security at SST. We have had a stringent security policy in place for some time and already had a separate security team that continually works on the security of our organisation as well as the software we supply to our clients. It was therefore a logical step for us to attain the ISO 27001 certificate. That way, we can demonstrate that SST has appropriate processes in place for information security.

SST Software was founded in 2001 as spin-off from the University of Twente as a student-owned company with an affection for IT. Even though we have ‘evolved’ into a full-grown software company, there are still students who work as parttime software engineer or are working on their graduation assignments at SST Software. Among them is Sebastiaan. He has been working with us for a few years and has recently finished his Bachelor at UT. His Bachelor research attracted a lot of attention, has received several peer reviews already, and will be published! As a result, Sebastiaan will present his research at the IFIP IoT Conference. Great job Sebastiaan!

The energy transition is in full swing. As such, Tennet, the grid operator that supplies power to over 41 million end users, has even more work to do these days. Such as all of the newly constructed wind and solar energy farms that need to be connected to the electricity network. Efficient planning is therefore absolutely essential. SST Software and datascience specialist CQM developed the solution together: a work package planner that makes putting the pieces of the planning puzzle together faster and easier.
