Implementation

Would You Like to Develop Custom Software and Hardware Quickly?

Every new product defines the future of your firm. It is this future in whose service we place our knowledge as a service provider for software and electronics development. You can focus your resources on your core business, we act as your specialized and thus highly efficient software and electronics developer.

Thanks to our strong process orientation, we create optimal products for your customers with a high degree of security and low risks – whether for the development of an entire product or as a sub-project for embedded software or electronics/hardware.

No lock-in: All intellectual property (source codes, schematics, specification, documentation, manufacturing data) is transferred to you, allowing you to produce, adapt and support the products independently. We do not want you to be dependent on Solcept. For the development of complete devices and software we offer a 5-year Zero-Cost-of-Ownership warranty. Learn more about how you can benefit through our cooperation model.

Custom Software Development

You Are Looking for a Reliable Service Provider for Software Development?

Use our competences in technical and embedded software, based on platforms ranging from "bare metal" micro controllers to real-time operating systems (RTOS) or Linux up to Windows or apps for Android and iOS. We do this for you in projects ranging from a few hundred up to more than 300’000 lines of code (CLOC).

You benefit from a holistic approach that, if required includes signal processing and control engineering but also takes functional safety and information security into account. You not only get the actual embedded software from our software specialists, but a complete package including the necessary software for service, test, configuration and visualization/control plus of course the entire documentation.

Our development methodology ensures software of high quality, developed efficiently. E.g. by reducing the coding effort thanks to the use of own libraries and code generators, by clear requirement and development processes or by using professional software engineering techniques like iterative ("agile") development and continuous integration with automated tests (thanks to simulation also for embedded systems).

Circuit Design and PCB Layout

You Want Custom Electronics that Performs Straight Away?

Software is usually the more important part of an embedded system, but if the electronics do not work, the software is utterly useless. Take advantage of our detailed processes and checklists for electronics development and printed circuit board (PCB) layout to make sure your electronics work from the start and are ready for production within two iterations. You benefit from the fact that we start integrating electronics requirements with software, mechanics and production as early as the concept phase.

You get innovative solutions based on the expertise of our hardware specialists in areas such as radio frequency/ wireless (antennas) and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), in low-power design and sensor technology, but also functional safety and explosion protection (Atex).

You achieve low manufacturing costs through our focus on Design for Cost incl. Design for Test and Design for Manufacturing. E.g., if necessary, we achieve EMC certification without a shielding enclosure, only with measures on the printed circuit board.

Mechanics Design: Mechatronics

Do You Want Ideal Mechanics or Mechatronics?

Due to the comprehensive knowledge of our partners of technologies ranging from 3D printing to injection molding and sheet metal to milled parts, we find the ideal and economic mechanics solution for large to smallest production numbers. You achieve massive cost savings in the overall project through holistically optimized mechatronics systems, i.e. optimized across mechanics, electronics and software.

Due to the well-established partnership, the interfaces between electronics/software development processes and mechanics development processes are clear and we can thus offer you an efficient overall project for your mechatronics development.

Industrial Design

Would You Like to Sell More Products?

If you develop your next product to be appealing and user-friendly, it does not only sell more easily, but you do not have to provide as much support and you have less training effort.

We take these aspects into account right from the beginning and, together with our partners, deliver optimum industrial design and excellent operability, saving you expensive adjustments in later project phases.
