Product development: engineer programs for an embedded system, a coffee machine

Do You Like Surprises?

For birthdays, yes, but not in ER&D Contract Development

And not when products fail, are too late to the market or when they show defects at the customer. Such surprises do not occur when you profit from our expertise, our experience and our development methodology for your contract development.

We manage your R&D projects from rapid protoypes to mass production, from electronics to software. With us you get customized product development, professionally executed according to our processes, which also cover functional safety and cybersecurity.

Concentrate on Your Strengths!

Leave to us as your product development service provider all tasks from specification & planning to production . When we at Solcept take over project management, your staff is freed up for other projects.

Embrace the collaboration model that best suits you: classic with agile execution, full agile, co-development integrated into your project team or Solcept as prime contracting incl. manufacturing.

No lock-in: Since all intellectual property is transferred to you at the end of the project, you are free to handle product maintenance independently. For the development of complete controls or software we can provide a 5-year Zero-Cost-of-Ownership warranty.

For product development, we can support you in these areas:

Specification & Planning

Before the start of development, we clarify for you which product is to be developed and how, including non-functional requirements such as security, usability and maintainability.This approach helps you avoid costly modifications later in the development process.

We can answer theses questions for you in the area of specification & planning:

Effort Estimation: What does the project cost?
System Design: What should the product be able to do? What is the architecture?
Technology Assessment / Technology Selection: What are the key components and technologies?
Rapid Prototyping: Does the idea work?

Implementation

Every new product defines the future of your firm. We serve this future as a provider of software and electronics development. You can focus your resources on your core business, while we act as your specialized and thus highly efficient embedded system development department.

We can handle the following tasks for you in the area of implementation:

Software Development: embedded, technical and Cloud software, etc.
Circuit Design and PCB Layout: hardware development and certification, etc.
Mechanics Design: mechatronics, housing, cooling, etc.
Industrial Design: haptics, appearance, graphic design, usability, etc.

Production

For us, production not only means manufacturing, but includes the entire process after development. If you would like to obtain development and production as a one-stop service, we can act as general contractor for you.

We can answer these questions for you in the area of production:

Validation Support: integration, field tests, etc.
Production Ramp-Up: production tests, optimizations, etc.
Manufacturing: assembly, mounting, etc.
3rd Level Support: problem solving, etc.

Basics

Our basic services span almost the entire project. By executing them in parallel with the other development steps, we ensure a faster, more cost-efficient process, avoiding the risk of late-stage changes. You benefit from this!

the development can be concluded fast and cost-efficient and changes late in the project can be avoided.

For you, we can perform these tasks in this area:

Industrialization / Certification: standards, Design for Cost, Design for Production, Design for Test, etc.
Functional Safety: safety analyses (HARA, FMEA, etc.), safety mechanisms, project management for functional safety, etc.
Cybersecurity: threat analyses (TARA, etc.), security by design, etc.
Project Management: planning, resources, milestones, risk management, etc.
