Custom software for the connected factory
TestLauncher works with Canadian manufacturing innovators on custom platforms that connect production equipment, operational data, and factory-floor decisions. We bring development, consulting, and quality expertise to the technical challenge.
The challenges behind the innovation
Mixed equipment and systems
Connect existing machinery, operational systems, and new applications without assuming they share a common interface.
Continuity during change
Plan how software can be introduced and updated around production constraints.
Useful operational data
Turn equipment signals into information operators and engineering teams can investigate and use.
Technology and expertise for your next step
We scope custom systems, development, consulting, and managed testing around the problem you need to solve. The examples below are starting points for that conversation.
Custom platforms & systems
Define custom production platforms, equipment interfaces, and operating-system requirements around the environment on your floor.
Development & consulting
Develop and prototype integrations between operational systems, devices, and business applications.
Managed testing & bugAgent
Plan testing around production workflows, failure recovery, and software changes, using bugAgent where it fits supported application interfaces.
Connecting a production line without losing operational context
Imagine a manufacturer combining equipment events with production records to investigate interruptions. A focused platform could link events to the relevant machine, job and operator workflow before considering wider automation.
Technical decision criteria
- Which equipment interfaces are available, and can data be collected without changing control logic?
- How should timestamps, duplicate events and gaps during disconnection be reconciled?
- Which operator decisions need timely data, and what is the acceptable delay?
Proposed deliverables
- An equipment and production-data integration map.
- A read-only ingestion and operator-view prototype for one agreed workflow.
- A validation plan for event ordering, outages and reconciliation.
This hypothetical example illustrates how an engagement could be scoped. It does not describe completed client work or verified results. Deliverables, acceptance criteria and responsibilities would be agreed during discovery; they are not a fixed package or a guarantee of certification, compliance or operational outcomes.
Ownership, hosting, and data residency.
We are Canadian-owned. Hosting and data residency are defined for each offering and engagement. We work through infrastructure, integration, and data requirements during discovery. See our Security & Trust page for current deployments and planned options. We bring custom platforms, operating-system engineering, and quality expertise to defence, public-sector, and dual-use innovators across Canada and NATO member countries. Canada is our first deployment market and current focus.
What’s available and what’s developing.
Custom development, operating-system and platform engagements, managed testing, and consulting are available separately from our product roadmap.
bugAgent
Our only fully ready platform, available for software testing and quality. We assess its fit for the application and interfaces in your engagement.
Explore bugAgent →Manual Testing
Established managed testing services and quality consultancy, active for over 10 years. Available today with expert human testers, AI-assisted testing, and automation. manualTesting is a service, not a software product.
Explore Manual Testing services →Conversational testing
bugAgent’s conversational capabilities are in active development; not yet released. They are not part of the available platform today.
The wider portfolio
Launch App, qualThread, ARC, OQA are in development and not yet released.
Canadian operating system & sovereign email
Both initiatives are in R&D and are not released products. They are distinct from custom engineering engagements scoped around your requirements.
