Our mission is to develop, integrate and support state-of-the-art electronics and data technologies for mobile machinery from a single source. As a leading manufacturer and supplier of hardware and software for control systems, telematics and sensor technology, we stand for customer-specific solutions that meet the highest requirements.

Our range of services covers the entire product life cycle - from the initial concept idea through system development and production to commissioning, maintenance and continuous further development. We rely on state-of-the-art development tools, tried-and-tested processes and a deep understanding of industry-specific requirements.

We accompany our customers as partners in all project phases - with technical advice, customized software development, robust hardware design and comprehensive support. Whether optimizing existing systems or implementing completely new concepts: Our team of experienced engineers and technicians ensures that functionality, security and efficiency are guaranteed at all times.

By closely integrating our hardware and software solutions, we create intelligent systems that record and evaluate data in real time and make it usable for digital business models. In this way, we not only enable the smooth operation of complex machine fleets, but also sustainable increases in efficiency and future-proof innovations.


Product Development Process


Planning

Thoughtful planning is the basis of every project. Our experience and technical expertise enable us to develop efficient and practical solutions. We advise on technological trends, norms and standards and offer a wide range of services. With our own production facilities, in-house hardware and software development, a test department and a specialized field application engineering team, we can implement individual requirements in a targeted manner.

 


Requirements

We analyze the functional and non-functional requirements of your project and create technical specifications. In interactive workshops, we work together to define the requirements precisely to avoid misunderstandings. Our documentation, including requirements and functional specifications, forms the basis for system development and testing. Seamless traceability ensures that specifications are adhered to and changes are implemented efficiently. We also consider various usage scenarios to ensure comprehensive coverage of requirements.

 


Design

We translate requirements into concrete design specifications by defining system structures, interfaces, and functionalities. The high-level design defines the basic system structure and the interactions between hardware, software, and networks. Innovative concepts for new products or systems are developed, taking into account technical feasibility. A modular design allows for extensions, while safety structures help to increase reliability. In addition, materials and components are selected with a view to cost and quality.

 


Development

We develop electronic hardware components such as control units (ECUs), central electrics, sensors, and connectivity solutions, including circuit design, PCB design, component selection, and prototyping. At the same time, we program software for ECUs, sensors, and other electronic components, including applications, protocol stacks, safety-related functions, and cybersecurity measures.By integrating hardware and software components, we ensure smooth communication between systems, taking into account interface and protocol compatibility. Functional prototypes - physical or software demonstrations - enable concept validation and initial testing under real-world conditions. We also develop IoT solutions for networking devices and machines, including sensors, data loggers, and cloud connections for real-time data exchange.


Testing

We test hardware components to ensure they meet technical specifications and requirements. This includes electrical testing, functional testing, and environmental testing under extreme conditions such as temperature, humidity, vibration, and shock.For software, we perform functional tests, unit tests, integration tests, and system tests to ensure proper operation. Automated testing increases test coverage and efficiency. Verification and validation tests verify that products meet defined requirements and work reliably in the field.With hardware-in-the-loop (HiL) testing, we simulate real-world environments to validate control software and hardware without the need for a complete physical system. We also test functional safety and cybersecurity measures to ensure the reliability and safeguards of safety-critical applications.


Deployment

We install and commission hardware and software components, both on-site and remotely. We integrate hardware and software solutions into existing systems or machines, taking into account specific requirements.We also implement firmware and software updates and perform validation testing. Over-the-air (OTA) solutions allow updates and patches to be delivered over the Internet without direct on-site intervention. We also support connectivity to cloud-based systems, including IoT platforms and data analytics tools, by setting up appropriate interfaces.After deployment, we provide configuration management, including documentation and change management. Security and privacy requirements are addressed through measures such as encryption, authentication, and access control. In the event of unexpected failures, rollback strategies enable rapid system recovery.


Maintenance

We take care of the maintenance and upkeep of hardware and software solutions, including regular software updates to address security vulnerabilities and enhance functionality.Through customized service level agreements (SLAs), we ensure continuous maintenance, fast repairs, and defined response times in the event of a failure. When replacement parts are needed, we ensure they are delivered and replaced quickly to minimize business disruption.
