Research & Development
Networked development: Firmware, electronics and mechanics.
Our 40-strong development team is characterized by an immensely high level of expertise in the areas of firmware, electronics and mechanical development. The three divisions are well networked right from the start. The result: Excellent device development that is more than the sum of its individual parts. Our team is constantly working on new technologies and takes part in research projects.
From the word go we keep an eye on series production. Feasibility studies and analyses are our daily practice: Depending on the quantities, we select the right technologies and components and keep an eye on the price-performance structure. Our development team is perfectly coordinated with production and purchasing.
We keep our promise
4 weeks to the 1st prototype
In-house prototype production
Agile way of working
Everything under one roof, development of firmware, electronics, mechanics, project management
Comprehensive know-how: From technical expertise to project management
Johannes Auer
CEO, Digital Elektronik
Every customer receives a first prototype from us after 4 weeks. This is made possible by our in-house prototype production. We keep our promise and deal intensively with the requirements and ideas of our customers from the very first conversation.
Design
Product requirements can be established at different levels of maturity at the beginning of a development process. If design ideas or requirements are very clear, development can start directly. If the requirements are unclear, Digital Elektronik offers the possibility to work together with Phormolog starting from the user needs analysis to the final design. This includes the product design as well as the UI design.
Firmware development
- From the low-cost 8-bit controller to the 64-bit embedded operating system
- Tool-supported software modelling: Setup, implementation, testing
- Standardized libraries for faster, higher quality development
- System tests and unit tests: Testing of all application scenarios over the product life cycle
- Mathematical algorithms development for e.g. encryption or pattern recognition
Electronics development
- Testing and development according to product-relevant standards
- Circuit simulation and circuit design
- Layout of the board – customer-specific requirements, such as the thermal aspects, installation situation or efficient series production, are taken into account
- First prototype including a thorough test phase
- System check, EMC test by certified partners, such as TÜV, CE declaration
- Testing of the electronic components in the overall system
- Tool and library-supported creation of cable layouts
- Electronic planning through to the finished control cabinet
Mechanics development
- Determination of the key parameters with a view to the purpose and cost structure: Materials, manufacturability, standardization, surfaces
- Simulation, such as flow, circuit, motion simulation or mechanics studies
- Constructing the entire device including all electronics planned in CAD
- System tests including mechanics and electronics
- Creating the production drawings > pilot series devices > series devices
- Digital prototype > Approval > Prototype production > Review
Project management
Each project is supervised by a project manager. The project manager is the central contact person for the customer and summarizes the results from the technical experts. Their tasks include checking the system design as well as checking all customer requirements, controlling, scheduling and communication.
Test & Certification
Digital Elektronik offers a comprehensive development-accompanying test and certification process. Here, product characteristics are tested and EMC tests are performed. Depending on customer requirements, CE, UL or even special certifications can be performed for different countries.
We look forward to your enquiry
