Weißer Hintergrund

FIELDS OF ACTIVITY

Within Our Scope

We solve interdisciplinary technological challenges and optimize the key interfaces between Product Management, R&D, Procurement, and Manufacturing — enabling seamless collaboration and minimal total cost of ownership.

 

What We Don’t Do 

We do not develop consumer products or application-level software. Our focus is exclusively on technology-driven, industrial-grade solutions.

MARKETS

We provide tailored mechatronic and signal processing solutions for the Automotive, Industrial, and Medical sectors, delivering innovation, reliability, and compliance to meet the highest industry standards.

Requirements

We turn your market insights and market requirements into clear, verifiable product requirements and technical specifications that seamlessly fit contemporary process standards.

Regulatory

We guide you early in identifying relevant standards and regulations for your applications and markets, and in planning and supervising the required testing and certifications.

Complementary Solutions

For application- or project-specific components outside your core competencies, we act as your complete supplier—closing gaps in your product portfolio efficiently and reliably.

Concept & Architecture

We specialize in developing cost-optimized, requirements-driven system concepts and product architectures for mechatronics and signal-processing applications, built on standardized interfaces and designed for maximum reusability.

Build and Launch

We provide flexible support for your product development and step in whenever needed.

This ensures a smooth transition into series production — including NPI support and regulatory affairs management.
