Our software experts develop embedded software that works reliably, even under demanding industrial conditions:

Firmware development for microcontrollers (C, C++, Python)
Communication drivers for Modbus, CAN, I²C, SPI, UART, etc.
Bootloaders and security functions
Function implementation for sensors and actuators
Interfaces between embedded software and HMI/visualization
Modular design, documented and testable

We consistently adhere to the standards, processes, and target platforms relevant to you—flexibly and with an eye to the future!

Hardware development – hardware design with brains

Beide scheinen sich in einer entspannten Unterhaltung oder Besprechung zu befinden, während sie in einem modernen Büro mit natürlichem Tageslicht arbeiten. Die Szene vermittelt eine angenehme und kollegiale Atmosphäre.

The quality and cost of a product are largely determined by the hardware design. Our team relies on a well-thought-out layout to achieve simple yet decisive time and cost savings. We develop electronics in co-design with safety, software, and production. This interdisciplinary collaboration enables high quality, simple manufacturing, and reduced overall costs. Our electronics developers implement robust, application-specific hardware solutions with a focus on industrial communication, embedded technology, and system integration:

Custom interface integration: Modbus, Ethernet, CAN-Bus, USB, RS232, I²C, SPI, RS485, EtherCAT
Embedded hardware design: 8–32 Bit MCU (Atmel, STMicroelectronics, Freescale, Microchip, NXP)
Sensors and actuators: Integration of external systems and customer-specific requirements
Wireless technologies: Bluetooth, WiFi, NFC
HMI solutions: Visualization devices, displays, and user-specific operating concepts
EMC-compliant layout: Circuit design, component selection, and board layout using common ECAD tools

Thanks to our close connection to our manufacturing facilities (SMD/THT), we guarantee short iteration times from prototype to series production.

Design and cable assembly – complete solutions with housing and cable

In addition to in-house hardware and software development, we offer additional services related to product design and series production through our long-standing regional partners: from the design and manufacture of custom enclosures to cable assembly. Our team takes care of the entire project management process—efficiently, reliably, and tailored to your requirements. Among other things, we coordinate:

Design and manufacture of custom plastic or metal enclosures
3D printing and casting for prototypes and small series
Toolmaking for plastic enclosures
Mold flow analyses for optimized component design in the development process
Cable assembly for custom system solutions
Creation of technical drawings and CAD files in various formats

Thanks to our established partner networks and short distances, we guarantee seamless implementation—from the initial design to series production.

End-to-end toolchain – from concept to series production

Our development processes are based on a structured and professional toolchain that ensures the efficient and traceable implementation of complex requirements. We rely on established tools in all phases of hardware and software development.

Toolchain software development: efficient, modular, and automated

A modern toolchain is used for embedded software, covering all steps from planning and coding to testing and continuous integration:

Version control & project management: GitLab, Git, Redmine, Enterprise Architect
Code development & debugging: Visual Studio Code, arm Toolchain
Build systems: CMake, Build Ninja
Testing & analysis: PC-lint Plus, pytest, Coverage Tools
Automation & CI: Jenkins

These tools enable rapid iteration, high test coverage, and clean release management, even for safety-critical applications.

Toolchain hardware development: targeted and integrated

We also rely on a proven, practice-oriented toolchain for hardware development:

Planning & requirements management: Redmine, Enterprise Architect
Circuit diagram and layout design: Altium Designer
Simulation: LTspice for analyzing electronic circuits
Mechanical design: SolidWorks for housings and assembly components

The combination of planning, design, simulation, and construction within a digital process chain ensures fast development cycles, consistent documentation, and seamless transfer to production.
