Experience
"If you can do everything, you can't do anything right"
is an old saying. Therefore, here is an excursion into the focal points and experiences of our activities to date. As Confucius said: "Experience is like a lantern at our backs, it only lights up the part of the way we have already travelled". As Confucius said: "Experience is like a lantern behind us, it only illuminates the path we have already taken", it is natural for us to constantly deal with new technologies. Here we make a very strong distinction between hypes, practically very useful things and nice gimmicks and are happy to help you evaluate them.

| In medical technology today, the challenge is to implement the latest technologies under constantly increasing regulations and documentation requirements for the protection of the patient. In order to be able to implement this, technological knowledge is required as well as knowledge of the corresponding standards, which go far beyond the requirements of usual industrial products. In this context, it is essential to consider the risks and limits of the technologies used.People and technology - here both must fit together seamlessly | Today, the characteristics of classic controls and terms such as IoT, IIot and Industry 4.0 are becoming increasingly blurred. Terms such as wireless, cloud and edge are new, but the requirements are not. It is important for us to integrate the latest technologies such as Raspberry Pi, Espressif and ARM, as well as exciting sensor technologies, into new and reliable concepts in a sensible way, without taking away from the sometimes extremely exciting solutions of consumer IoT. Knowledge of CE approval (especially the low-voltage directive and radio approval according to RED) and low-voltage technology is very helpful to us. What would you like to control next ? |

| Innovative prototyping is the first step towards your successful product. Among other things, it serves to test the appearance, the haptics or the integration possibilities in reality and to make them tangible. This also with regard to the feasibility of materials and manufacturing processes. Which of your ideas would you like to hold in your hands ? | In technical projects, people tend to go for functional solutions that rarely please outsiders. Even if your product spends its life in a dark control cabinet, it still deserves a professional look paired with a solid, modular and sustainable construction.How professional should your product look ? |

| differs from "normal" software already in the concept, since the devices are built-in and thus difficult to access. In addition, there are usually only minimal resources (memory, CPU) available. This necessitates the use of lean, optimised libraries. In order to keep the effort for this within limits, the use of existing open-source libraries is recommended after a thorough selection and evaluation. On larger systems, the use of a Linux system with its rich software portfolio and very good quality can make sense. Since in today's systems the software has a significant share in the device function, the selection and coordination with the electronics development is essential here. How satisfied are you with the range of functions of your devices ? | Your product will only leave the production line with the properties that have been tested beforehand. The complexity of electronics production and many influencing factors (e.g. faulty components or components that do not comply with specifications) do not allow this in any other way. Instead of trying to optimise the quality of all these factors to the maximum (which is very expensive), a tailor-made testing concept can be used. Our experience from product support and know-how in in-circuit testing, flying probe, boundary scan and, above all, custom-fit functional testing helps you to create a suitable and economical testing device, also independent of the respective manufacturer. Your product is unique, the function is unique and your test equipment ? |
