We design and build firmware, industrial control, and IoT systems — from the state machine up to on-site commissioning. Reliable in the lab, and where it actually runs.
Data acquisition and edge computing, tied together with the right communication protocols and a clear interface.
Motion control, machine vision, and production-line digitization built on CODESYS and real-time fieldbus.
Installation, commissioning, maintenance and retrofit — certified for low-voltage work in the Netherlands.
A sample across EV, energy, IIoT, and machine control — from a full edge platform down to a single safety-critical controller.
A real-time embedded Linux platform unifying industrial automation, IIoT, edge AI, and CODESYS runtimes through a shared Unified Namespace and a containerized service architecture — one foundation for the full spectrum of industrial edge workloads across multi-architecture deployments.
Embedded software for 100,000+ EV charging products: IEC 61851, ISO 15118, OCPP 2.0.1 and EEBUS, a unified state-machine framework driving GUI flow, plus secure certificate management and TPM factory provisioning toward ETSI EN 303 645.
ESP32-S3 supervision for inflatable amusement structures — pressure sensing, AC/battery watchdog, relay control, safety fault handling, logging, scheduling and a live web interface.
Long-range, long-battery-life telemetry stations deployed as demonstration units for edge-to-cloud monitoring.
Machine-vision quality control for a wooden-crate production line, with a multi-threaded GUI and a REST service for line monitoring.
Control system for a stainless-steel 3-axis welding machine, coordinated over real-time fieldbus.
Motion-control system for a roll slitting machine, with synchronized multi-axis positioning.
Industrial control algorithms for a biomass gasification plant producing electrical energy.
up+ is Apostolos Plastiras — an embedded software engineer and technical lead with 18+ years across embedded systems, industrial automation, and IoT.
The work spans the seam most projects struggle with: the point where firmware meets moving hardware, where a control loop has to hold up in a factory, and where a product has to pass certification and then survive years in the field. up+ takes on that whole path — architecture, implementation, and the commissioning that proves it.
Based in Amsterdam, working with clients in energy, food processing, and manufacturing to modernize, automate, and scale their operations through tailored control systems and IoT solutions.
SANS Institute, 2025 — firmware & hardware analysis, wireless exploitation, IoT API security.
Competent person for LV installations & electrical safety. Valid to 2029.
Safety, Health & Environment checklist certification. Valid to 2036.
