Electronics development and embedded systems for your industry

Automotive

Apps, driver assistance systems, navigation systems and automatic controls make driving a car more convenient and safer these days. Behind these amenities are embedded systems that work efficiently and reliably through the interaction of mechanics, sensors, hardware and software. However, the more computer and information technology there is on board, the more vulnerable they are to outside manipulation. This is especially true due to an increasingly widespread networking, for example by using infotainment apps.

A mature security concept plays a central role in the development of embedded systems for the automotive sector. Our experts advise you on your development project and support you in developing applications for a safe and efficient embedded solution.

Industry 4.0

Embedded systems play a central role in Industry 4.0. They form the heart of the smart factory, in which machine-to-machine (M2M) communication, smart metering and predictive maintenance set new standards in production. For Industry 4.0, the fourth industrial revolution, internet technology is central.

Intelligent networking of electronic devices or machines replaces automated production with self-organized production. The direct communication of machines, systems, goods and people enables more efficient and cheaper production processes:

• Real-time based data analysis enables predictive maintenance
• Resources are conserved through predictable use
• Optimization of logistics and foresighted use of goods
• Efficient and simple production control, externally and on site

Individual IoT solutions for your project

Together with partners, emtrion develops software and hardware solutions for automated or self-organized data exchange in real time between sensors, machines and information platforms using wireless and wired communication technologies. Compact and powerful microcontrollers and microprocessors from well-known manufacturers offer the necessary communication interfaces, e.g. via Ethernet, as well as wirelessly through WLAN, LoRaWAN, NB-IoT or Bluetooth. Emtrion develops suitable applications for the control and maintenance of intelligent systems.

Safe and efficient systems for Industry 4.0

The development of an embedded IoT system requires thorough planning right from the start, taking suitable security concepts into account. Test runs in early development stages, realistic prototype design and diligent quality management ensure an efficient development process and safe systems in the field. emtrion supports you with hardware development, security concept creation and product maintenance.

Agriculture

Digitization has also revolutionized agriculture. Agricultural tradition and high-tech go hand in hand these days. Precision farming, precision livestock farming or smart farming automates and optimizes agricultural processes. Agriculture 4.0 not only achieves higher yields, it also protects the environment through a targeted and minimized supply of fertilizers and pesticides.

The electronic recording, processing and provision of data in animal husbandry and agriculture enable an efficient use of resources. Intelligent communication and information technologies and sensors are used for the automated or simplified control of tractors and implements. In all these areas, modern embedded systems are used which are equipped for the prevailing conditions in terms of temperature, vibration or humidity.

emtrion is happy to present you the appropriate System-On-Modules for your application or supports you in realizing your system solution.

Medicine

Embedded systems have also been used in medical technology for a long time, which continually opens up new possibilities for medical treatment. Automated controls and targeted monitoring in real time simplify everyday life in the operating room and in care. Innovative medical devices achieve effective therapeutic success. Absolute reliability and highest quality standards are mandatory in this application area.

We at emtrion GmbH advise you on the selection of the suitable module for your medical technology solution and support you in developing the right software application based on the necessary security criteria.

Our customers benefit from our wealth of experience and high-performance products.

Measuring technology

Networked measurement systems, also known as smart metering systems, play a central role in Industry 4.0. The smart meter gateway is an important component. Measuring amplifiers and recording systems can record physical parameters such as temperature, light, movement, as well as analog electrical parameters such as voltage, current and frequency via the use of sensors.

For networked data acquisition, the measuring system must have the appropriate fieldbus and IT interfaces, such as CAN, CAN FD, Ethernet, Profibus and EtherCAT.

Our experts support you with the integration and development of your measuring system according to your individual requirements. You can also rely on emtrion‘s competences for wireless data acquisition via LoRa, NB-IoT, Bluetooth or WiFi and the connection to cloud-based solutions for data storage.
