The "Steam Engine" is a tool that Brinkhaus GmbH uses and expands for specific projects. It is a "data pump" that reads data from a source with high performance and real-time capability and then feeds it to further processing.

Steam is not a product. This documentation therefore addresses **developers**.  Steam is a tool to handle customer-related projects - and to develop products from them for the customer, if necessary.
