Hardware development

Electronics

  • Cooperation with renowned chip producers and international distributors for optimal research and selection of components and materials:
  • Standard components, such as transistors, resistors, discrete components etc.
  • Mechanic materials such as synthetics, metal plates, plug connectors etc.
  • Innovative hardware modules such as high performance ICs, 12-layer conductor boards
  • Simulation of signal periods, cross-talk, electromagnetic compatibility, thermic and mechanic effects as well as automated layout creation with auto-placement and auto-routing functions
  • Flexible choice of producer through creating multivendor-capable construction drawings and certified production manuals and documentations
  • Verification and long term tests during operation by prototyping and advanced prototyping
  • Independent certifications by TÜV (Technical Inspection Authority), CE, EMC as well as compatibility and interoperability tests with market participants like Brocade Communications Systems Inc. or Qlogic
  • Permanent monitoring and improvement to achieve the best cost-value ratio, lowest energy input, high quality standards and eco-friendly recycling possibilities
