Beyond Silicon
beyondsilicon.comSolar energy: perovskite-silicon tandem solar cells
A desktop app that lets a solar cell R&D team load measurement results, plot statistics and export a report in a customized PowerPoint template, with no scripting.
Saves about 3 hours of engineering time per reporting cycle.
“Working with Johannes at SWIFT4DATA was a great experience. […] The resulting J-V app transformed our workflow, empowering operators to monitor measurements, identify errors, and generate reports independently.”
Ecomemb
ecomemb.comWater treatment: regeneration of reverse osmosis membranes
A desktop tool that brings water filtration test results and records into one place, so the team spends its time on the work, not the paperwork.
Saves about 8 hours every week.
“Data automation in our membrane regeneration process has made us more efficient and provides full traceability of every step across our processes. It has also helped us gain speed and accuracy in our daily operations.”
SunFlex
sunflextech.comSolar energy: photovoltaic modules
For SunFlex, SWIFT4DATA built SunFlex DRAW, an in-house tool that turns a solar cell's contact layout into the DXF drawings that drive a laser in PV module production.
A process that used to take 1–2 days is now done in hours, or even minutes, depending on design complexity.
“Working with Johannes was a win on all fronts. […] He's a curious and independently-driven problem solver who produces results of the highest quality and functionality.”
Telwesa
telwesa.comWater and wastewater treatment: mobile membrane plants
A small Windows tool that turns a measurement spreadsheet into the monthly report in the client's own Word layout, with averages, charts and incidents included.
Saves about 8 hours per client report, every month — and it scales with every client added.
“Report automation has transformed the way we work. We've cut hours of manual tasks and can now spend that time optimizing processes, serving our clients better and creating more value.”
01 · The problem
How much of your week is copy, paste, check, repeat?
The work has to be done, but doing it by hand adds nothing. It eats hours, it wears people down, and the mistakes show up late.

Six questions. You get a score, the hours you could get back, and one concrete first step.
02 · What we automate
Three kinds of work we take off your desk
Reporting
Excel, PDF and slide-deck reports, monthly or after every batch, generated from your data in your own template.
Already automated for: Telwesa, Beyond Silicon
Data management & analysis
Test, lab and production data: collected from your files, stored in one place and analysed automatically.
Already automated for: Ecomemb, Beyond Silicon
Production files & drawings
Drawings and machine-ready files, generated from your data instead of redrawn by hand.
Already automated for: SunFlex
Something else eating your week?
If it repeats and it follows rules, it can probably be automated. Tell us about it in the 2-minute check.

See the difference
The same task, done two ways — by hand today, or automatically with your own tool.
By hand, today
- Copy it out of one system
- Check it by eye
- Paste it into the report
- Do it again next month
Takes hours
or days
With your own tool
- It pulls the data in
- It checks and calculates
- It writes the report
- You get the time back

05 · How it works
From your task to a working tool
1. A 30-minute call.
We map the workflow you want gone: what goes in, what has to come out, and where the time goes today.
2. A concept and a fixed quote.
We work out a short written concept together with you, so it matches what you expect, and you get a fixed price. You decide before anything is built, and you know the full cost up front and there are no surprises later.
3. We build, install & support it.
We test the software with your real files, install it on your machines and keep it running. Bug fixes, minor changes and initial training are included in the quote, and we check the delivered software every week for known security problems.
Runs on your infrastructure. You are in full control of your data.
Checked for security, before and after release. Our software is built from well-tested open-source components. Before each release we check every one of them against public lists of known security problems (using pip-audit) and update anything affected. After delivery we keep checking the exact versions you have installed every week; if a new problem turns up, we release an update and let you know.
06 · Timeline
A typical project timeline
From first call to running software, typically in six to eight weeks.
A typical project, not a promise. Timing depends on the complexity of your workflow and on the availability of both you and SWIFT4DATA.
07 · Who is behind it
Who is behind SWIFT4DATA
Johannes Seif
I did my PhD in solar-cell research, worked as an R&D engineer in industry and managed research projects with partners across Europe. Faced with complex data processing in those jobs, I automated the repetitive parts with tailored software, which gave my colleagues and me more time for the actual analysis. Now I build software that takes that kind of work off your desk, so you can get your time back.
08 · Questions
Questions we often hear
- What does it cost?
Every workflow is different, so there is no standard rate. After a first call we develop a concept with you and give you a fixed quote. You know the full cost before anything is built, and you decide whether to go ahead.
- How long does it take?
From the first call to running software typically takes six to eight weeks. That is a typical project, not a promise: it depends on how complex your workflow is and on the availability of both sides.
- Does my data leave my machine?
Only if you want it to. We build both: tools that run on your own computers or servers, where you keep full control of your data, and tools hosted on a server online when your team needs access from anywhere. Which one fits depends on your use case. Sample files you share with us for building and testing are stored securely and deleted on request.
- Who looks after the software once it is running?
We help you install it on your systems. After delivery we check the exact versions you have installed every week against public lists of known security problems, and release an update if something turns up. Bug fixes, minor changes and initial training are included in the quote; further training and new features are billed separately.
- Is my problem too small?
If someone does it by hand every week, probably not. A couple of hours a week adds up to about two working weeks a year. The 2-minute check shows what your task costs you.
- Do you only work with solar and water companies?
No. Our clients so far work in water treatment and photovoltaics, but the pattern is the same anywhere: files come in, someone copies, checks and formats, and a report or a file goes out. If your work has that shape, it can be automated. We work in English, German, French and Spanish.
