Electronics / Hardware
In electronics development of your new electronics/hardware products we design a solution for your needs with:
- Simple or advanced circuits
- Analog or digital electronics
- The latest microcontrollers with wired connection or wireless communication
No Data Collection without Electronics Development
The digital Internet of Things IoT solutions have increased focus on data analysis of Big Data in Cloud solutions, ERP systems, and other IT programmes. An important condition for the data analysis is to have the right electronics products for data collection. In the initial concept phase, we help you get an overview of the company’s important data which you want to collect with your new hardware products. In constructive co-operation with you we develop the best professional solutions for your new electronics products among other things: Devices, Sensors, Gateways, Motor Controls, and Remote Controls.
Wireless Communication
For electronic products with wireless communication, we select the most optimal modules or discrete radios with tuned antennas. Irrespective of your choice of communication protocol, we tailor wireless technology to your finished electronic products.
Motor Controls
For your new electronics products, we advise you to choose the best suitable electric motor before we develop the motor control for your electric motor. We have developed motor controls for electric motors for many different product solutions:
- DC motor for the control of the intelligent Copenhagen Blinds
- Brushless DC motor for the motor control in BEUMER Group sorters
- Stepmotor for the dosing pump in Grundfos NoNOx
Sensors
We develop different types of sensors. In the dialogue with you, we select a tailor-made sensor solution with optimal sensor technology for your needs and wishes:
- Simple sensors for measuring temperature, light, weight, sound, CO², movement, and other parameters
- Advanced MEMS sensors for integration into Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems
PCB Layout
We design your printed circuit boards with the tools Orcad or Altium and adapt them mechanically to the completed finished products. The construction of the finished printed circuit boards can be:
- Compact with a flex-rigid printed circuit board
- Complex with a multi-layer printed circuit board.
Battery Optimization
Many electronic products are battery powered. We advise you about choice of battery technology, design of power supply, and battery optimization to achieve reasonable power consumption.
Robust Design
Electronic products are often exposed to various environmental effects and usage patterns. Therefore, in electronics development we focus on developing your electronics / hardware products to final robust product solutions according to the principle Design for Manufacturing DFM.
At the same time, most electronics products must be able to meet various requirements and standards among other things:
- Electromagnetic Compatibility EMC
- Conformité Européenne CE
- Federal Communications Commission FCC
- Integrated Circuit IC Certification
- Underwriters Laboratories UL Certification
- Safety Integrity Level SIL1 – SIL2 – SIL3 – SIL4
FAQ about Electronics / Hardware
Why Is It a Good Idea to Develop Unique Electronics Solutions?
Many companies choose standard electronics products such as PLC controls for their products instead of developing their own unique electronics solutions. The disadvantages of choosing standard electronics products are that they do not move with the development and can be difficult to update.
On the other hand, development of unique electronics solutions provides plenty of opportunities to tailor the electronic units 100% with hardware and embedded software to the application in machines, devices, equipment, products, etc.
Which Advantages Characterize Unique Electronics Solutions?
With unique electronics products, it is possible to become the master of the modern electronics controls yourself and to future-proof the electronic controls. In addition, it is significantly easier to maintain and update unique electronics solutions in opposition to standard electronics products. At the same time, the ongoing updates of unique electronics solutions ensure future delivery and supply security and increase the product lifetime by +10 years.
In unique electronics products you can tailor features adapted to the application such as the right number of inputs and outputs, IoT connectivity for data collection and other relevant features. In this way, unique electronics solutions meet precisely the needs of the fully developed products.
Finally, unique electronics controls cost approximately one tenth of the price for PLC controls with inputs and outputs.
Where Are Customized Electronics Solutions Used?
Customized electronics solutions are used in products requiring electronic units adapted to the functionality and the mechanical integration in the finished product designs.
Unique developed products with mechanics and the need for electronic units are used in many different consumer products at the BtC market and industrial products at the BtB market.
Examples of consumer products with electronic units are:
- Smart lamps
- White goods such as refrigerators, washing machines, dishwashers, etc.
- Alarms for private homes
Examples of industrial products with electronic units are:
- Medico solutions for monitoring patients
- Technological defense solutions
- IoT devices for data collection in Industry 4.0
- Alarms for factories, industrial buildings, offices, etc.
- Controls for machines and devices
And many other consumer products and industrial products.
